About Us
DanMar Casino Parties
DanMar Casino Parties has been in business in the Tampa Area for over 30 years. Joe Martin purchased it in 2022, after 12 years of experience with the previous owners. Joe has worked with many of the area hotels, restaurants and event centers to put on Casino Parties of all sizes. Specializing in the Tampa Area, DanMar travels all of Pinellas County and the Gulf Beaches like Tarpon Springs, St Pete, Sarasota, Tampa, Clearwater, Palm Harbor, Duneden and North Port.
“The key to a great event is keeping the action moving,” says Joe. “Trading tables on the hour, or breaking up the play at set intervals means people stay entertained!”
“In 30 years, we’ve found the best combination of tables are Blackjack, Craps, Roulette and Texas Hold ‘em. People can play any games for the first time because the dealers are also trainers.”
What to Expect
Let us know your budget and your ideas. We usually schedule a three hour event, 7pm to 10 pm for example, with tables running until 9:45pm. We set up early, and consult with your venue to make the most use of the area. If you have any questions, don’t hold back, we’ve run events for over 15 years and have answers for you.
How does a fundraising event work?
We have been helping with fundraisers for non-profits in the Tampa area for years including the Special Olympics and Make a Difference – which holds fishing tournaments for people with special needs.
We charge the usual for the table rental, set up, tear down and hire the dealers. A non-profit gets sponsorships for the tables and collects donations for ticket for the event. Other ways to capitalize on the event is to collect donations of goods and services and put them up for silent or live auction. Selling raffle tickets for prizes or a 50/50 drawing is also a great way to raise money. Some events trade donations for extra chips to continue playing.
Make Your Casino Party Unique
Another way to make your party great is to pick a theme so people can dress up or come in costumes. When you pick a theme, think about door prizes or costume contests. We always suggest additional entertainment, like a DJ or a guest host. We have a photo booth with all sorts of props and contacts with DJs, Auctioneers, and even Vegas-type Showgirls.
