Blackjack
The classic card game against the croupier. A good table for first-timers: the croupier walks you through every decision.
Sheet 04 · The tables
The floor
Real croupiers, real cards, green felt. The chips are play money: handed out free, the same stack for every guest, and worth nothing outside the room.
Roulette
The wheel, the ball and the long pause before it drops. Place play-money chips on the layout and watch.
Poker
Texas Hold'em, dealt by a croupier. Everyone sits down with the same free stack, so the game is about the cards and the table talk.
House rules on the floor
- No stakes. Nobody bets anything of value. Your ticket pays for supper and the show, never for a seat at a table.
- Chips are free and equal. Every guest receives the same stack of play-money chips at no charge.
- Chips stay chips. They cannot be bought, topped up, sold, traded or exchanged for anything, at any point in the night.
- No prizes of monetary value. When the tables close, the chips go back in the rack.
- 19+ at every table. Croupiers may ask for photo ID at any time.
- Your pace. Sit in, sit out, take a break, watch a hand. Nobody is pushed to keep playing.
Why play money?
In Canada, games with real stakes may only be offered by a province or under a provincial licence. Factory Gaming is a private evening, so its tables are play-money only, and they are not part of the casino gaming floor. That keeps the night about the shuffle, the call and the company.
First time at a table?
Good. Croupiers explain the rules as they deal, there is no pressure to play fast, and a mistake costs nothing. If a game is not for you, the band is just across the hall.
