Casino Security… Serious Stuff!

 

Yeah, this is the kind of stuff we have to do to protect ourselves. CCTV, underground vaults, the “eye-in-the-sky”. It’s not easy, but protection is everything…  Seriously though, this video shows the lengths Las Vegas Casinos go to to protect themsleves, and that’s without even considering the ever present threat of the card cheat! Watch and learn…

Looking for Christmas Party Ideas?

It’s that time of year already where we start to get enquiries and bookings for Christmas parties up and down the country. Christmas is the most exciting time of the year for us at Harlequin and it’s also the busiest. We have already taken several bookings for December and the diary is filling up nicely, so make sure you book in plenty of time to get the date you’re after.

A Christmas party is often the highlight of a company’s social calendar and it’s important to get it right. You’ll want to hire entertainment that is diverse, enjoyable and above all, great fun. We might be biased, but in our opinion, you can’t go wrong when you hire a Christmas party casino. You’ll probably be hiring a DJ or a band too, but for those amongst your colleagues who really don’t like to dance, there’s often nothing to entertain them at all. When you hire a fun casino for a Christmas Party, you ensure everyone has a great time.

For more information on fun casino hire, take a look through our website or call us today on 07719 618 873 and chat to Kathryn about what we do and how we can help you. You’re welcome to email us all your details and we’ll contact you with a free quote. We’re looking forward to hearing from you.

Roulette Table Hire

Once again, the Roulette tables were practically on fire yesterday as we tempted and teased the residents of our favourite senior citizen’s club with our fun casino madness! We’re becoming something of a firm favourite at these social gatherings, and as much as it’s an absolute pleasure to entertain such a lovely, bubbly and vivacious group of misfits, I can’t help feeling a little shocked at how readily our elders and betters fight tooth and nail to come out with the most fun money and beat each other into the ground – metaphorically speaking of course. There’s nothing like a bit of friendly competition, but it must be said that sibling rivalry can’t help but rear its ugly head at the roulette table, as proven by Janet and June, sisters who played alongside each other; sparks flew, tensions were raised, and eventually, it was the elder of the two, Janet who stole the title of the Harlequin High Roller, banking a cool $2,200 before retiring from the roulette table for s spot of tea and a home-made cake. Not one to run away from her debts, June picked up the tab. That woman’s integrity knows no bounds. Thanks again for having us ladies and gents. Just goes to show, you’re never too old to hire a fun casino

How to Play Blackjack for Fun

Play Blackjack for FunBecause I am surrounded by fun casino games every day of my life, I am always a little amazed when I meet someone who has never played Blackjack or Roulette and is completely unaware of the rules of the game. I try to think back to a time when I didn’t know the first thing about casino games – and it just makes me realise how much money I wasted like a fool on the casino tables in Las Vegas when I first went, so I try not to think about it too often! However, there’s a first time for everything, and the term “beginner’s luck” must have been coined at the blackjack table! It’s amazing how much you can win when you don’t know the first thing about blackjack! The risks you take unknowingly that pay off and the crazy bets you put down that pay dividends. Of course, it’s amazing how much you can lose playing that way too. (see my previous comment). It’s just really amusing to watch somebody to hit 19, take a card and hit 20, then watch the gawping mouths of the other players as the beginner scoops up her winnings in delight after seeing the dealer stand on a 19, not knowing how or why this just happened, nor knowing just how close she was to losing the lot! I often think that the more you know about Blackjack, the worse a player you become – until you get so good that  you’re able to card count of course (which is highly illegal in regular play and is in no way condoned by either myself or my croupiers – ahem ahem.) Anyhoo, if you’re one of these lucky few who is unfamiliar with the rules of the game, take a look at my article how to play blackjack and learn the rules for yourself. Don’t bother with strategy at this point – apparently you’ll make all the best mistakes to begin with and come out quids in. Of course, there’s no guarantee here, it’s just a wild observation. I had to learn what on Earth I was doing before I made any dollar on the blackjack table. But we can’t all be lucky now can we? Some of us have to work for our money whilst you drive off into the Nevada sunset with hundred dollar bills stuffed into a suitcase, headed for Reno… A girl can only dream.

Fun Casino Party in Hamble-le-Rice

We had a fabulous evening in one of the most beautiful places in the South of England last night, Hamble le Rice. About 10 minutes from where Halrequin are based, Hamble is a gorgeous little marina teeming with fabulous drinking holes and restaurants. If you’ve never been to Hamble, you simply must go if you’re local (or even if you’re not!). It’s a lovely day out, with such picturesque views and so much to see and do. There are boat trips from the marina every hour on the hour, and tickets cost as little as £6 for a 40 minute boat trip. What a lovely way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon. If you’re a Hamble resident and you’re planning an event, or you’re holding an event close to Hamble, we’d love to entertain your guests, so if you’re looking for something special to really spoil your guests, we’ll be happy to help you!
