Game sponsorship can pay for your event

Many of our corporate clients, most of our association clients and nearly all of our fun-raising clients use a program of game sponsorship to help pay for their casino night event.

Some of our corporate clients have asked suppliers who they deal with on a regular basis to sponsor a game at their casino night event. The casino party might be a Christmas party, a sales meeting or an employee appreciation night.

Occasionally, a representative of the sponsoring supplier company is actually invited to attend the party as a guest. Often the representative will be invited to participate as a volunteer dealer. We train this individual in our training session right along with the volunteer dealers provided by the clients.

The majority of our association clients receive help with cost of their casino night event. Many are able to completely pay for their evening through game sponsorship. Many times association members help by sponsoring individual games in the casino. Frequently vendors who do business with the association's membership will jump at the opportunity to gain valuable exposure via game sponsorship. These sponsors are usually given first the option of actually staffing their sponsored game as a volunteer dealer. We provide the training for free.

At the Ohio Grocers' Association casino night event, the Philip Morris Company picked up the entire tab. We even named our famous racetrack: PHILIP MORRIS DOWNS. The Philip Morris Reps, who were present that night, were very pleased.

Progressive Insurance Agency paid a major portion of the Professional Insurance Agents' Association's casino night event in Cleveland. The feedback Progressive received indicated that it was advertising money well spent.

All sponsors should be properly acknowledged during the casino night event. A small sign with the sponsors name is usually placed on each sponsored game. If flyers or brochures are printed, the sponsors should all be acknowledged in these items. The sponsor(s) will have their names announced on the P.A. system multiple times during the event.
