21 Fun Casino Party

What 21 Fun Casino Party does

21 Fun Casino Party is a private, founder-owned event entertainment rental company founded in 2003 by John Scarborough in San Francisco and now headquartered in Burlingame, California. The company rents authentic casino gaming tables (blackjack, poker, craps, roulette, and specialty games such as Casino War, Three-Card Poker, Let It Ride, and Money Wheel) along with professional dealer-entertainers for casino-themed events. Its primary customers are corporate event buyers, nonprofit/fundraiser organizers, and hosts of private celebrations, weddings, birthdays, and educational/campus events, with service coverage across eight metropolitan areas in four U.S. states (California, Nevada, Arizona, Florida).

The company's core offerings are organized as a tiered package system — Flamingo (5+ guests), Bally's (25+), Paris (50+), Caesar (75+), Lake Tahoe (125+), Bellagio (175–225+), and a Custom package (225–2,000+ guests) — built around table rentals, dealer hire, full-service event planning, poker tournament services, and entertainment add-ons (aerial bartenders, magicians, photo booths, LED robots, fortune tellers). A proprietary real-time Casino Party Leaderboard System is used for competitive events and fundraisers, and a partnership with The Novel Donut adds mobile mini-donut catering (up to 1,200 donuts/hour). The company also sells custom USA-manufactured casino tables direct via an e-commerce storefront and operates a franchise/business-opportunity program (21 Fun Academy) plus a dealer training/recruiting platform (Casino Party Dealers), with training academies in Las Vegas and Lake Tahoe. No software platform or mobile app is described; the leaderboard is the only notable proprietary technology asset.

Commercially, 21 Fun runs an event-driven, direct-to-consumer GTM: bookings are taken via website quote forms, phone (818-239-7871), toll-free (888-275-2921) and text (415-859-6165). Pricing is package-based with a 25% non-refundable deposit, multi-method payment (credit card, PayPal, Venmo) subject to a 4% service fee, and explicit extension fees ($95/dealer/hour beyond a standard 3-hour gaming window; $100 per additional setup hour). Revenue streams span table/dealer rentals (one-time rentals), full-service event planning (professional services), direct hardware sales (table sales), entertainment add-ons, donut catering via partnership, and franchise training/licensing through the Academy sub-brand. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding, no parent, and no M&A activity; named customers include Google (corporate team building) and Konvoy Ventures (startup party).
