How to host a casino themed garden party this spring

28/04/2025

tombola has just launched an exciting new online roulette game, and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate than by bringing the thrill of the casino to your garden. Whether you're a regular party host or just looking for an excuse to hang out with your friends, here’s how to throw a casino-themed garden party that’s full of fun and a little friendly competition.

Set the Scene 

First impressions count, so turn your garden into a mini-Monte Carlo. Think fairy lights, tables for drinks with green felt tablecloths, and bold pops of red and black to match the classic roulette colours. Add some gold accents for that touch of luxury. 

Dress to Impress 

Make it fun with a dress code, for instance, James Bond meets garden party. Encourage guests to wear summer dresses, tuxedo jackets with shorts, or even just a dash of sparkle. Bow ties and oversized sunglasses are all fun options. Host a competition for anyone who shows up in the best outfit.

Garden-Friendly Roulette

To celebrate tombola’s new online roulette game, bring a taste of the action to your party. If you’ve got the space, a mini roulette wheel can be a big hit. Use chips or tokens, and play for fun prizes—no real gambling necessary! 

Additionally, why not gather round and play roulette on tombola, and see who gets the first win? Play with friends and get involved in our online community chat rooms.

Games 

Why not bring some other games to the party?  

Set up a few card corners where guests can try their hand at classic games like Blackjack or Poker. Include a few bingo breaks throughout the evening whether you create your own or play our casino themed bingo game Cinco. Keep it light-hearted, winners can collect raffle tickets or tokens to exchange for fun prizes like party bags, themed cupcakes, or even just being crowned casino champion. 

Mocktails & Munchies 

Keep everyone refreshed with some alcohol-free drinks like virgin mojitos and 0% fizz that still feel like a celebration. Pair your drinks with easy-to-eat garden party snacks like nachos, skewers and picnic bites so guests can nibble while mingling or playing games.  

Playlist with a Spin 

Set the vibe with a playlist that blends classic Vegas, upbeat pop, and smooth lounge tracks. Think Sinatra, Elvis, Dua Lipa, and a few cheeky casino sound effects in the mix. Keep the volume fun but conversation-friendly.

Prizes, Photos & Party Favours 

If you have a polaroid camera, why not create a “winner’s wall” where guests can pose with oversized playing cards or roulette-themed props. Offer small prizes for game winners or best-dressed guests. 

As the night winds down, hand out party favours like chocolate coins, poker chip keychains, or custom “Thank you for playing” cards.

Final Tip: Keep It Light, Keep It Fun 

The best casino-themed parties aren’t about serious gambling they’re about playful vibes, good friends, and making memories. So raise a glass, spin the wheel and most importantly have fun!
