Any ideas/experiences on how to have a casino night?

I now have 3 pachislots, a roulette wheel, and a couple poker tables... trying to figure out how i should run it

Get a cover charge.

Good idea - I will watch yours and see what I need for mine as I have 2 Pachis ,1 pachinko, roulette wheel and dart board and 100 inch projection tv and no the wife wont buy me any XXX DVDs, darn can you emagin the size, getting it all together is a project in itself

i agree with Tulsa.. cover charge..

What I did was I have 6 very special tokens and I put them in the hopper. Then when people hit some winners or jackpots they get the special tokens and I gave out $5.00 gift cards for either Wal-Mart, Home Depot, etc. The only trouble some people got too many of the tokens. So next time I will limit the tokens per person that they can win. Just a suggestion.

Contact large companies in your area. Let them 'rent' you and the equipment for fund raisers.

im not looking for a fund raiser... just looking to add some excitement...
anyways, i tried this (just a minipachislo night)... just 3 of us played (i have 3 pachislos)... we each threw in $10... we each started w/150 tokens... each get 15 minutes on a machine, then we have to stop and rotate... winner takes all.

my issues:
i only have 750 tokens (this was WAY too few; had to keep reloading/making change)... ordered another 1000.

15 minutes is way too short... next time, we will go 50 minutes, then break/rotate, until we play all 3... so 3 hours total tourney.

if we have more than 3, we will have non-machined players playing roulette or blackjack, and decrease machine time as necessary to end in allotted time... we will charge $10-20 to play, and most tokens at end wins the whole pot.
