Absolutely not. Northern Party Pros provides strictly entertainment-only casino experiences. All our tables use fun money tokens or prop chips — no real currency is exchanged, wagered, or won at any event we provide. Every event is fully compliant with Canadian entertainment regulations.

Our standard delivery zone covers the entire Winnipeg metro area, including St. Vital, St. James, Transcona, Charleswood, and surrounding areas. We also regularly serve Brandon, Steinbach, Portage la Prairie, Selkirk, Morden, Winkler, and Dauphin. For events in other Manitoba communities, please contact us — province-wide delivery is available with advance notice.

We recommend booking at least 4–6 weeks in advance for most events. For peak dates — especially late November, December, and June through August — we advise booking 2–3 months ahead to secure your preferred date and equipment. We do accommodate last-minute bookings where inventory permits, so it's always worth asking even on short notice.

A 25% non-refundable deposit is required to confirm your booking date. The remaining balance is due 7 business days prior to the event. Cancellations made more than 14 days before the event date forfeit the deposit only. Cancellations within 14 days forfeit 50% of the total invoice. Cancellations within 72 hours forfeit 100%. We strongly recommend event cancellation insurance for large events. Full details are outlined in your booking agreement.

Setup time depends on the number of tables and venue layout. A single table typically takes 30–45 minutes. A full Grand package with four tables typically takes 90–120 minutes. We always arrive well ahead of your event start time to ensure everything is in place before guests arrive. Teardown is similarly efficient and typically completed within 60–90 minutes of the event conclusion.

Our packages are equipment-only unless otherwise specified. We do offer optional on-site event host services for larger events at an additional cost. These hosts are experienced in explaining game rules to guests and facilitating smooth play throughout the evening. Dealer costume hire is also available as an add-on. Please enquire when booking if you'd like to include this service.

Yes. Northern Party Pros carries comprehensive commercial general liability insurance for all events. A certificate of insurance is available upon request for venues that require it. We are fully compliant with Manitoba business licensing requirements.

Space requirements vary by table type. As a general guide: Poker tables require approximately 10ft x 7ft of clear floor space. Blackjack tables require approximately 8ft x 5ft. Roulette setups require approximately 9ft x 5ft. Craps tables require approximately 14ft x 5ft. We recommend an additional 4–5 feet around each table for guest circulation. Our team conducts a complimentary venue layout consultation for all Signature and Grand bookings.

Yes! Custom branded chips with your company logo, event name, or custom design are available as an add-on for any package. Minimum order is 200 chips, and we ask for artwork files at least 10 business days before your event date. We can also accommodate branded decor elements, custom fun money tokens, and themed table signage. Contact us to discuss options.

Absolutely. Casino fundraising nights are one of our specialties. We offer discounted non-profit pricing for registered charitable organisations and extensive experience in fun money fundraising structures. We can advise on ticket pricing, fun money denominations, prize redemption, and event flow to maximise your fundraising results. Contact us to discuss your cause and we'll tailor a package accordingly.

Normal wear and minor incidental contact is covered in our standard pricing. Our booking agreement includes a damage waiver clause that covers accidental damage up to a specified value. Deliberate or significant damage beyond normal use may result in a repair/replacement charge as detailed in the agreement. We inspect all equipment on delivery and collection. Our team handles all equipment professionally to protect both the client and our assets.
