How to Host a safe and Fun Project Graduation or Prom Parties and Lock In’s
Typically, PTA or PTSA sell tickets in advance for a High School Theme event with a Las Vegas-style evening of games specializing in this type of event. “Our professional staff will insist in teaching students on the game.” When working with High school students there is a Texas law all staff members are background checked and will submit to Breathalyzer testing.
PTA or PTSA casino nights in the Dallas Fort Worth area High Schools Lock In. “Vegas Concepts has pioneered safe Lock In’s and Prom parties for 28 years.”
Keys to Success
Start planning at least six to nine months in advanced, especially if you have to secure vendor contract and background checks for vendors. If you will be asking businesses for donations, give them at least six months of lead-time and avoid approaching them during the holidays. When they will be besieged with requests. “Start way ahead of time,” Jami Bond Co- Chair of Southlake Carroll High Schools Lock In sponsored by PTSA from Southlake TX. “ Project celebration or Prom Event is not something you can just throw together.”
Promote the event by using your high schools Social Media, Face book page, Twitter, Instagram. Hosting a Safe & Fun High school Lock In event. Make the event special with casino-themed decorations (check your local party and dollar stores), music (hire a full service company to handle all your out side vendor needs. or recruit a parent to get food donated or purchase at Sam’s or Cost.
You will need plenty of parent volunteers. We suggest getting junior parent to help since they will be building future class memories. Be sure to have enough helpers so they can rotate out to enjoy the games themselves.
Do’s and Don’ts
Don’t “Organizations tend to underestimate the number of tables,” Debbie Accettura Says, president of Vegas Concepts Inc. Dallas Texas “A good rule of thumb is to have enough tables so that 80% of your student can play at any one time.
Do create turnover at tables. One of the main challenges at a casino night is to make sure everyone gets a chance to play. That doesn’t happen if people plop down at a game and stay put. Use wristband in different color for a group of students.
Do sell tickets in advance. Penalize students who pay at the door increase your ticket price ” Accettura says. “If you don’t sell out, we offer a 10-day cause in our contract for the casino games and other service order to reduce the size of equipment ordered. Reduce your food order or contact your caterer and reduce the scope of what you ordered.”
Top 5 Ways To Increase Profits
- Secure sponsors for each table. “You can pay for a casino night almost exclusively with table sponsorships,” Debora Accettura by Vegas Concepts INC. We offer several Lock In ideas: Casino games, Inflatable games and Photo booth rentals, DJ’s service.
- PTA or PTSA sell your sponsorships $100 and up, with sponsor names on a signage on the casino table.
- Get creative with promoting sponsors. Let the staff for your games wear sponsor logo T- Shirts. To promote a local company that pays a set price for this prominent advertisement.
- Raise your ticket prices. “They need to be relatively expensive, $25 to $65 per student, though it depends on your demographics,” Debora Accettura
- Add another fundraising activity. Make a silent and a live auction part of the evening.
- Sell drinks, if permitted. Beverages can often be a high-profit item.

Tips on how to plan a PROFITABLE Casino Night Fundraiser
Hosting a fundraiser for your organization can be a great opportunity to bring in additional funds and to network with people around your community. Casino nights are a popular fundraiser because they offer various opportunities to bring in donations. Planning these events can be hard work and especially in the early stages, it can be confusing. We gathered the top tips to help you have a fundraiser that runs smoothly but that will also make it worth your while! First though, what you’re probably most interested in knowing is, HOW DO WE MAKE MONEY?
RAISING MONEY: You can raise money through ticket sales, live auctions, silent auctions, sponsorships and casino chip sales.
Ticket Sales: The price of the ticket should cover non-alcoholic drinks and food. Try to pre-sell tickets before the event; offer the tickets at a lower price if they purchase before the day of the event as an incentive. This will help you have an accurate count on how many guests you can expect. Don’t make it too expensive because you also want them to bid on items or to purchase chips at your event.
Live auctions: Try to have between 3 to 5 large items for your guests to bid on. You should have items that will excite your guests, such as a trip to Las Vegas.
Silent auction: Ask around your community for donated items for your guests to bid on; focus on getting as many items as you can, even if they are smaller items. Have an area designated for the silent auction to the side where your guests aren’t in the way as they stop to look.
Sponsorships: Contact local businesses and encourage them to sponsor a casino table at your event. This will be a great opportunity for them to market their brand in front of your guests. It is also a great public relations stunt because they can be seen participating in a charity event.
Casino chip sales: Have a designated area where chips can be bought but also have several people approaching the tables every 40 minutes to sell extra chips. If you are hiring a casino equipment company, have a volunteer collect the money. Do not have the dealers or people you don’t know handling your money.
You have two options with casino chip sales, you can pay to play or give them seed money. Usually, pay to play is more successful. They can then redeem their winnings for raffle tickets to win prizes. The more they win, they more chances they have to win. We usually recommend about 5 door prizes for every 100 people. Winners should be present if their name is called so that you won’t have to go through the hassle of tracking them down.
PLANNING THE EVENT:
Know your audience: Knowing the interests of your guests will help you determine what sort of entertainment you should have.
Date: Pick a date that is not on a holiday or on a Sunday. Although some people might think having their event during the holiday season will encourage donors, remember that they are also spending money on gifts or on their own holiday parties and might not want to spend as much on yours. Also, Check your community calendar to make sure there is no other large community event that you might be competing with.
Food: We do not recommend having a sit down dinner because people tend to only socialize with their table. Set up high top tables and serve hors d’oeuvres to encourage mingling instead of just sitting down.
Music: Your Fundraiser is not a Concert, don’t treat it like one. Everyone likes having live music but make sure it fits the situation. If the music is blasting, your guests might be less likely to interact with each other.
Venue: Pick a venue that will be large enough to accommodate all of your guests but that won’t break your bank. Decide on set up before the event and think about all the equipment you will be bringing in. Do a walk through will all of your vendors so they know where to set up on the day of your event. Ask them to be there at least one to two hours early on the actual day to make sure they have enough time to prepare.
Set Goals: Establish a reasonable goal as to how much money you would like to raise and the best ways to do that. This will help you stay focused and on track. This can also determine how big of an event to do. Don’t be afraid to share your goals!
