Why a casino theme is perfect for your housewarming party

February 20, 2023 by Jeremy Lindy

The image that most people have of casinos is either an elegant gaming house frequented by well-dressed socialites, or the bright lights and celebratory atmosphere of the typical Las Vegas casino packed with hopeful tourists. Whichever your preferred backdrop, a casino theme is a great choice for any celebration, especially a housewarming.

A housewarming party is a real cause for celebration as you begin to make memories in your new home. It’s a great time to get all your friends together, make friends with the neighbors, do a grand tour of your new place, and throw a party that will set the bar high for future events. 

Choosing a theme for a housewarming party is a great way to give your guests a bit of focus and encourage them to think about the kind of casino goer they are going to be. You might find some slot devotees that are ready to place themselves at the mercy of lady luck, or you might find that one of your friends is a hard-bluffing poker aficionado in mirrored shades chosen to hide any tells.

How to make your new home feel like a casino

You can go all out on the disco lights and music, or keep it understated with poker tables and mood lighting - however you choose to interpret the casino will set the tone for your party. One of the best things about hosting a casino-themed party at a housewarming is that you might choose to do so before you’ve finished unpacking, while you still have some empty space in your new home.

This is the perfect time to set up a temporary poker table, add a roulette wheel for the night, or just have a gaming space ready for whatever anyone wants to play. Whatever you have space for, there are casino games that will fit into your new home, even if it’s just providing a tablet to play online slots and a flat surface for a game of blackjack.

The beauty of a casino theme is that the games are really the stars of the show, so it doesn’t matter what the décor is like – not everyone lives in the kind of room that you see in traditional European casinos, or one that you might find in Atlantic City, but once you get out a deck of cards and chips, everyone knows what to expect.

You can use playing cards and dice to give any room a casino theme, and you can either keep things simple or go really big and it will look great either way. Casino games provide great photo opportunities, whether that’s catching someone frowning at their cards to decide whether to up the ante, or a picture of the winner’s face as they roll the dice in a game of craps. 


The popularity of casinos

While traditional casinos have been attracting visitors since the 17th century, the recent availability of online casino games has revitalised interest in some of the most traditional games usually found on gaming floors. From poker and blackjack to roulette and baccarat, there are so many games that have become synonymous with casinos, and people cannot get enough.

A trip to a traditional casino could often be hard to organise, especially for anyone that doesn’t live near one or for groups of people spread around the country. However, playing online has allowed friends and family members to play traditional casino games together, from the comfort of their own homes, making it a much more practical option in the digital age

With so many people opting to play at one of many online casinos, the choice of games available has increased massively over recent years. There are familiar versions of traditional games, but also themed games, games that use the latest technology to create realistic virtual gaming spaces, and live streamed games for those that want to play in real-time and have the excitement play out right in front of them.

Having fun with the theme

The games may be the important thing about your casino-themed housewarming, but there are plenty of easy ways to continue the theme to other aspects of your party. Not only do casinos have an easy-to-follow colour scheme of black, red, and white, but there are plenty of ideas for food and drink too.

You may want to capture the elegant sophistication of a high-class casino by serving nothing but champagne and cocktails, or you might want to offer shots, or even jello shots if your guests will enjoy them. Casinos traditionally offer a buffet because guests often graze as they play, and this can be a great way to feed your party guests too.

The beauty of the casino theme is that it instantly puts everyone in the mood for a party, so it’s a great choice to give your housewarming an element of excitement right from the start.
