Everything You Need to Know

Absolutely not. All of our events are 100% entertainment-only. We use fun-money chips and tokens that have no real-world monetary value whatsoever. There is no wagering, no real stakes, and no actual gambling of any kind. Our events comply fully with Canadian entertainment and gaming law.

Since no real money is involved, our events fall under entertainment and prop hire, not gambling regulation. You do not need a gaming licence to host one of our events. We recommend informing your venue about the nature of the entertainment, but there are no legal barriers to hosting a fun-money casino night in Manitoba.

We recommend booking at least 4–6 weeks in advance for standard events, and 8–12 weeks for large-scale galas or events requiring full custom branding. That said, we do accommodate last-minute requests depending on availability — contact us and we'll do our best to make it happen.

We are based in Winnipeg and serve all of Greater Winnipeg within our standard delivery pricing. We also travel to Brandon, Steinbach, Portage la Prairie, Winkler, Selkirk, and other communities across Manitoba. For events outside Winnipeg, a travel and logistics fee applies — contact us for a custom quote.

As a guide, allow approximately 4m x 4m (13ft x 13ft) of clear floor space per table, including room for players to stand around the table and for guests to move freely. Craps tables are slightly larger — approximately 3m x 5m. We will assess your venue layout during the planning stage and provide a recommended floor plan at no extra charge.

Our team typically arrives 90–120 minutes before the event start time. Setup time varies depending on the number of tables: a single table takes approximately 30 minutes, while a full floor of 6 tables takes roughly 90–100 minutes. We coordinate all arrival times with your venue's access schedule in advance.

Absolutely — this is one of the most important parts of what we do. All our table hosts are trained to welcome guests of every experience level. They will patiently explain the rules, coach beginners through their first few rounds, and ensure that everyone at the table feels comfortable and included. No one should feel intimidated at a fun-money table.

When the event concludes, our team will shut down tables gracefully and begin teardown. All equipment, chips, cards, and accessories are packed and removed by our team — your venue will be left in the same condition as before our arrival. Teardown typically takes 45–75 minutes depending on the scale of the setup.

Yes. To secure your event date, we require a non-refundable deposit of 25% of the total package price. The remaining balance is due 14 days before the event date. For bookings made within 14 days of the event, the full amount is due at time of booking. We accept e-transfer, major credit cards, and corporate cheque.

We understand that plans change. Our cancellation policy is as follows:

• Cancellation 30+ days before the event: full refund of the balance payment; deposit is retained.
• Cancellation 14–29 days before the event: 50% of the total package price is retained.
• Cancellation within 14 days: full package price is retained.

We are always willing to discuss date rescheduling as an alternative to cancellation, and will accommodate changes wherever possible.

Additional tables on the day are subject to equipment availability and must be confirmed at least 48 hours in advance. We will always do our best to accommodate last-minute additions. Event extensions on the day can be arranged directly with our on-site event manager — we charge our standard hourly rate for additional time, and payment is settled at the end of the evening.

Yes. Event Night Experts carries comprehensive general liability insurance covering all staff, equipment, and event operations. We can provide a Certificate of Insurance to your venue upon request. All our table hosts are background-checked, trained employees — not independent contractors.
