Hi Jo,

For the past three years I have done Casino fundraisers. I have always gone to Casino Rama. They want you there for 5 hrs and pick you up and drop you off too - sometimes they also allow you to have two pick up and drop off locations. They expect you to fill a bus, I think it's around 43 people and if that is the case, the bus is free. If you have 42 people then it's $5 a person and if you have 30 something people, then it's $10 a person.
I've always charged $20 and so you are covered if you have to pay anything for people not showing up the day of. I would also suggest getting money from people before the day of. All you have to do is go on the Casino's webpage and look up the bus company you have to go through (closest to your area of living) and they'll walk you throug hthe process.
On the bus, I also have raffle tickets for various prizes - more money for your fundraiser :)

Good luck and let me know if you don't understand anything I wrote, let me know and I'll try and explain myself better -- it has been a long day haha :P

Also, we contacted the casino and they were willing to donate some prizes for the bus ride home so you may want to ask about that!

Thanks for the info Ashley and Joesph. I have been trying since 2005 to do a Casino Trip but every year something happens. Hopefully this year will be different.

It really isn't that hard to make this work.
As long as you can fill the bus, you make 100% of the profit :)

I will not.
This will probably be the first year that I don't need to have the Casino trip to raise my money.

Unless I sign up for another event haha
