Responsible entertainment.
We organise offline entertainment evenings. Some of them use casino-style tables and cabinets as props. This document says exactly what that involves, and what it rules out.
1. What we organise
We build themed evenings and team games in the room chosen by the client: investigations, clue trails, open-air evenings, gala dinners, dance nights, and one family of casino-style evenings. Everything happens in person, on site, at an agreed date and time. The client is buying the production of an evening.
2. Chips, credits and props
Chips, cards, wheels, tables and cabinets are entertainment props. Chips are handed out in equal stacks at the start of the programme and are used to keep score.
- They cannot be bought, neither from us nor from the client.
- They cannot be topped up for payment during the evening.
- They cannot be exchanged for anything: not money, not goods, not vouchers, not prizes of value.
- They have no market value and remain our property.
At the end of the programme, the difference in chips is used for one purpose only: a standing in points.
3. No stakes, no cash winnings
There is no stake of money or of anything of value in any of our formats, and no cash winnings are handed out. We do not offer gambling, we run no online gambling service and we promote none.
The service is not a game of chance and money, because the two elements that define one are absent: there is no stake and no gain of patrimonial value.
4. Rental cabinets on free play
When cabinets are part of the order, they run only on their own internal credit balance, set at build time.
- Coin mechanisms and bill validators are removed and sealed.
- A guest puts no money in and takes no money out.
- The credits displayed have no market value and never leave the cabinet.
- No paid top-up is possible, for anyone, during the evening.
5. Adults only
Access to the casino-style tables and to the cabinets is limited to people aged 18 and over. The client confirms this in the enquiry form and enforces it at the door. Our crew may refuse access to a gaming station if there is any doubt about age.
If the evening includes younger guests, we can propose formats with no tables and no cabinets: the investigations, the clue trails and the stage formats all work for that.
6. Instructions to the crew in the room
- Explain at the opening that chips are props and that no exchange is possible.
- Never use the vocabulary of gambling to describe the running order.
- Refuse any betting arranged between guests, including informal bets, and tell the floor manager.
- Stop a gaming station if a participant seems to be in difficulty, and inform the floor manager.
- Do not serve a gaming station to anyone whose age is not established.
7. If gambling becomes a problem
Our evenings involve no money at all, but the theme can stir bad memories for someone affected by problem gambling. If that happens, tell the floor manager: the participant will be steered towards another activity of the evening, with no public explanation.
Public support resources exist in Quebec and in Canada. We do not publish a number here until it has been verified with the organisation concerned.
8. Promotion and advertising
In our copy, our advertising and our correspondence we never use wording that promises a financial gain, and we do not present our service as a gambling establishment. The words "casino-style" or "themed" always accompany the description of the formats concerned.
9. Reporting a breach
If a page of this site, an advertisement or the behaviour of a member of our crew appears to breach these rules, write to us: we correct it and answer in writing.
