Fortune Tables · flagship programme
Operation Beluga.
A heist evening played to a script: your teams recover a sealed file by working through three rooms and six hours of programme. The casino-style tables are the first room, the prop chips are the passes between rooms. Two actors carry the story from the first minute to the last.

Debrief: the standing is read out and the sealed file goes to the team that finished first.
Optional equipment
Cabinets, free play.
Three rental cabinets on free play, added alongside any format in the catalogue. Each cabinet runs on its own internal credit balance: the coin mechanisms and bill validators have been removed, so a guest puts nothing in and takes nothing out. Two of the three are mechanical, with metal reels and a side lever — slots in the original sense of the word.
Two of the three cabinets are mechanical: metal reels, a side lever and an internal credit counter. That is what a slot was before it had a screen, and here it runs on free play only.

What this is, and what it is not
A script, not a game.
- Our evenings happen offline, in the room you have booked. You are paying for the production of an evening, not for a game.
- Chips and credits are props. They cannot be bought, cannot be topped up, and cannot be exchanged for anything: not money, not goods, not vouchers, not prizes of value.
- There are no stakes and no cash winnings. We run no online gambling service and promote none.
- Access to the tables and the cabinets is limited to people aged 18 and over.
Questions
Before you set the date.
Do people need to know the table games?
No. The dealers explain each table in a minute and stay on station all evening. The script moves with the three rooms, not with anyone's skill at the tables.
How are the teams formed?
Eight to twelve teams, six to ten people each. You can send us the composition in advance or let the floor manager sort the guests at the door.
What happens to the chips at the end?
They go back into our cases. The chips are passes inside the script: they have no market value, cannot be bought and cannot be exchanged for anything. The only object handed over is the sealed file of the closing scene. Access is limited to people aged 18 and over.
How much space does it take?
Three separate spaces or one divisible room, 220 m² in total, 2.6 m clear height. Two 15 A circuits and step-free access for the kit.
You have the occasion. We build the evening.
