Jackpot Casino Events

What Jackpot Casino Events does

Jackpot Casino Events is a Reading, Pennsylvania-based event services company that rents professional-grade casino gaming equipment and trained dealers to host casino-themed parties at customer venues. Founded in 1997 by Ronald Schaeffer, the company operates a fleet of 40+ gaming tables (Craps, Roulette, Blackjack, multiple Poker variants, Money Wheel, Chuck-A-Luck/Sic Bo), 10 slot machines, and supports a network of 65+ skilled dealers, some with prior experience at Hollywood Casino, Atlantic City, and Las Vegas properties. It sells event packages tiered from a 2-table 'Family & Friends' setup for 20–40 guests up to a 21-table 'Ace of Spades' configuration for 260–300 guests, with each package including up to three hours of gaming, professional dealers, pit bosses for larger events, and full delivery/setup/breakdown logistics.

The company serves five primary use-case segments — private parties and celebrations, corporate events, fundraisers/non-profits, wedding receptions, and school/college events — with secondary service to senior living communities. Marketing is conducted via the company website, Facebook, Instagram, an email newsletter, direct phone/email, and word-of-mouth referrals; named clients in customer testimonials include The Boston Beer Company/DogFish Head, Entech Engineering, Whitford Country Club, The Heritage of Green Hills, Barry Isett & Associates, and the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania F&AM. Geographically, Jackpot serves a 3-hour radius from Reading, PA covering Central and Eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland.

The business has transitioned ownership three times — from founder Ronald Schaeffer (1997) to Robin and Steve Cuzner (January 2000), and most recently to Kathy Deissler (October 2023), with Steve Cuzner retained as a mentor for continuity. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Beyond casino games, the company has expanded into adjacent event entertainment offerings including Photo Booth, 360 Slow Motion Pod, GIF Digital Booth, DJ Service, iSmile Roamer, and Carnival Games. Headcount is reported at 1-10 employees, and the company operates as an uncapitalized private business with no funding rounds or institutional investors recorded.
