Casino nights are relatively easy and an inexpensive way to raise funds. The members of your organization can be the dealers and run the other games of chance you wish to run.

At the end of the night the funny money can be used to bid at a silent auction or to by door prizes. Such prizes can be donated by area vendors or each member of your group could contribute a prize to the pot. Funny money may not be redeemed for us currency after it has been purchased as that would be a violation of state gambling laws.
