You’ve likely sensed the buzz of a casino floor. The ball clicks, the crowd hushes, and cheers erupt when a number hits. That’s what makes roulette the top casino game. Now, imagine capturing that same excitement at your next Essex event.
At Trez Entertainment, we’re all about transforming ordinary gatherings into truly unforgettable nights. Planning a wedding in Chelmsford, a birthday party in Southend, or a fancy job in Benfleet? A roulette table hire is the perfect way to get people mixing and chatting. It’s the ultimate icebreaker for any host who wants their event to be the talk of the town.
A fun casino experience can take any party to the next level, and here’s what you get when you bring us on board.
Why Roulette? The Psychology of Social Gaming
Why do people love roulette? It’s simple: it is the great equaliser.
Unlike poker, which demands a cool head and a strategy, roulette is all about the excitement. Compare it to blackjack, which needs some quick calculations. Roulette is different – it’s instant fun that anyone can get into. Your 18-year-old cousin or your 80-year-old grandma can walk up to the table, bet on “Red”, and feel the thrill immediately.
Research in social gaming shows that shared activities like these help people bond and feel part of a group. When coworkers or friends cheer together, it sparks a quick connection. You don’t get that kind of bond just by mingling at a party.
Key Takeaways:
- No need to learn complicated rules – guests can start playing right away.
- The spinning wheel is a natural attention-grabber and creates a focal point in the room.
- It’s enjoyable for all ages and backgrounds.
Elevating Corporate Event Management
Planning a work party can be a real pain if you’re a business owner or office manager. You want something that doesn’t feel just like another day at the office. The goal is to make it fun for everyone, which can be tough. A successful party, though, can do wonders for office morale.
The UK events industry is having a big year, worth around £61.6 billion, the UK Events Report 2024 says. Conferences and meetings are making up a huge chunk of that – £16.3 billion to be exact. With that kind of money on the line, companies can’t get away with hosting dull events.
Hiring a roulette table can be a game-changer for corporate events. It solves the age-old problem of getting people to mingle.
A roulette table gets people from different teams talking. It puts the focus on some friendly competition instead of shop talk. You’ll often catch the CEO playing right alongside a new intern, laughing and having a good time with a stack of fake chips.
Why it works for business:
- Mixing and Merging: It gets people moving around the room.
- Personal Touch: We can usually customise the fun cash with your company logo.
- Team Bonding: Staff connect over wins and losses, minus the risk of real cash.
Weddings & Private Parties: The “Glamour” Factor
Essex knows how to throw a bash. We’ve seen it all, from TOWIE-style glamour to fancy country weddings.
Bring a roulette table into the mix and you’ll instantly add some serious Monte Carlo style to your party. It goes down a treat with black-tie themes, James Bond nights, or 1920s Gatsby parties.
In 2025, immersive themes are huge right now – think “Studio 54” and “Masquerade”. A luxury, full-size roulette wheel is an awesome addition that’s not just for show. It’s really helpful for entertaining guests during breaks, like the time between the wedding breakfast and the evening party.
What Exactly Is Included in Roulette Table Hire?
When you book with Trez Entertainment, you’re not just getting a table tossed in a van, and here’s what sets us apart – we’re hands-on from start to finish. We use top-of-the-line equipment.
Here is what a typical hire package looks like:
- Friendly Dealer: A sharp, welcoming croupier who runs the show and helps newbies learn the ropes.
- Wheel & Table: A classic mahogany-finish wheel and a clean baize setup, straight out of Vegas.
- Chips & Play Money: We give out “play money” to guests, which they swap for chips at the table.
- Lighting: We usually bring in special lights to make the table pop in darker spots.
We cover the whole of Essex, including Benfleet, Basildon, and Chelmsford, as well as reaching into London and Kent.

The “No Risk” Factor: How Fun Casinos Work
One of the most common questions we get is, “Is it legal?”
Absolutely. This is a fun casino. No real money changes hands at the table.
How it works:
- When you arrive, you get given a voucher or some “fun money”.
- You take that to the roulette table and swap it for chips.
- Then you can play as much as you like.
- At the end of the night, whoever’s got the most chips usually scores a prize from the host – think a bottle of bubbly or a gift card.
This structure ensures all the thrill of gambling without any of the financial pain. It keeps the vibe light-hearted and safe for everyone.

Planning Your Space
Before booking a roulette table, make sure you’ve got enough space at your venue. A full-size roulette table is a big piece of furniture.
- First, consider the space needed – around 9 ft x 5 ft for the table, plus some room for players to gather around it.
- You’ll also need a standard power socket nearby for the table lights.
- And, while our tables have folding legs, we still need pretty easy access – think wide doors or lifts for upper floors.
Pro Tip: Put the table by the bar, but far enough away from the DJ’s speakers. That way, guests can hear the croupier and chat with each other without any problems.
