When planning a fun casino night, two games stand out as the most popular choices: Blackjack and Roulette. Both are classics, both are crowd-pleasers — but which one is the best fit for your event?

At Midland Casino Hire, we’ve seen thousands of guests take a spin at the wheel or place their bets at the card table. Here’s a breakdown to help you decide which game (or both!) is right for your party, wedding, or corporate event.

🃏 Blackjack – Quick, Competitive, and Engaging

How it works: Each player competes against the dealer to get as close to 21 as possible without going over.

Why guests love it:

Simple to learn, exciting to master
Fast-paced rounds keep the energy high
Perfect for small groups who like strategy and competition
Brilliant interaction between the croupier and guests

Best for:

Weddings (guests love trying it out between dancing and drinks)
Corporate events (great for team bonding)
House parties (compact setup, works well in smaller venues)

Andrew on Blackjack:

"This game is by far the most popular. We have done many events with Both Roulette and Blackjack and the crowds around the Blackjack table must make it popular amongst all guests".

🎯 Roulette – Glamorous, Social, and Iconic

How it works: Guests place their chips on numbers, colours, or sections. The dealer spins the wheel, and the ball decides the winner.

Why guests love it:

Instantly recognisable and glamorous
Easy for complete beginners to join in
Perfect for groups to gather around and cheer together

Best for:

Large weddings (eye-catching centrepiece)
Fundraisers (crowds love the excitement)
Big corporate parties (a classic casino vibe)

Andrew on Roulette:

"By far my favourite game to play and deal on. This is our most booked casino table for 1 table packages because it's a fun game and looks great at any venue".

🎉 Which Should You Choose?

Small, intimate parties → Blackjack works brilliantly.
Larger events → Roulette makes a stunning focal point.
Want the best of both worlds? → Hire one of each! Most of our clients book both to give their guests variety.

We have packages where you can book just the one table or both tables.
