Finding the perfect wedding gift for a casino fan takes a whole lot of effort. Sure, you can get your friend a branded T-shirt, a deck of poker cards, or a pair of dice socks. But maybe you want to up-the-ante for this special occasion.
On your gambling friend’s biggest day, you need to go all-in with a gift she will remember for the rest of her life. In this guide, we’ve compiled the best wedding gift ideas for casino fans. Let’s get started:
An Elegant Box of Poker Chips
Nothing says you know you’re friend better than a box of high-quality blackjack/poker chips. The set comes in an elegant box. The chips are carefully organized according to colors. And some sellers sneak in a deck of cards as a freebie.
The average poker chip set has 500 chips and comes in black, green, gold, purple, red, or white hues. It is something your friend can carry whenever he wants to come over to your place for a game of Texas Hold’em.
Consider chip quality when choosing a box. The best chips need to weigh around 10-15 grams to feel realistic. They also must look like real casino chips, both in pattern and material.
For the carrying case, aim for an aluminum box. Aluminum is strong and durable but not too bulky.
A Real Shots Roulette Wheel
A shots roulette tray is one of the best gifts you can buy a casino fan. Gamblers love roulette. Many of them also indulge in occasional drinking. A shot’s roulette wheel adds flair to a party in the best way possible.
How does the wheel work? At the center of the tray is a roulette wheel with all 37/38 numbers. It also comes with a couple balls to play roulette. The tray features up to 16 glasses painted black/red.
When you spin the wheel, the party begins. If the ball lands on your picked number, you need to take a shot. To elevate the fun, you can label a specific number of shots in various glasses.
If you spin the wheel and the ball lands on a glass marked “3 shots,” your lucky friend must take three shots.
Online Casino Vouchers
For couples who enjoy the convenience of online gambling, consider giving them vouchers or gift cards for their favorite online casinos. Many online casinos offer gift options that allow the recipients to enjoy games like slots, poker, and roulette. It is a thoughtful gift that lets them indulge in their favorite pastime at their convenience.
Contrary to popular belief, casino gift vouchers are not expensive. Most online casinos have a minimum deposit of $10. Some of them also give you a bonus to boost your account balance.
Where can you buy online casino gift vouchers? Find a genuine gift card vendor in your area. The Internet also features websites that sell gambling gift cards, especially vouchers for popular online casinos. The process is quick and allows you to print your gift card or email your friend the gift.
A Nice Watch
Yes, the rumor is true. Many casinos don’t have clocks on their walls. They remove clocks to create an illusion of time moving slowly. In turn, gamblers can focus more on entertainment.
A nice watch is a thoughtful gift not just to a casino fan. It is a beautiful gift most people find irresistible. The only catch is that watches can be confusing. Which timepiece should you buy?
Watches generally fall into several categories: high-end masterpieces, affordable budget brands from trusted brands, fashion watches, and low-end watches. The best option for someone on a budget is a watch from a trustworthy brand—Seiko, Casio, Citizen, or Timex.
You can easily find a beautiful $300 watch from Seiko or Citizen. Watches from reliable brands tend to last long. And they don’t cost an arm and leg. Before you buy a watch as a gift, check if your friend has any brand preferences. Also, find out whether they like automatic, manual, quartz, or smartwatches.
A Mechanical Slot Machine
The jangly music, whirring noises, and clinking sounds of slot machines are probably one of the reasons your friends love gambling. Slots cheer and celebrate you when you win. They also entertain you even in your losses.
Buying an antique mechanic slot is probably the best gift you can buy your friend on his big day. On eBay, a properly functioning slot machine will set you back anywhere from $50 to $30,000.
The reason some slots cost so much money is that slots are more popular than table games. A classic machine from the 1930s or 1920s can cost thousands of dollars.
Now, you don’t need to buy a rare slot machine unless you have the money to spend. A beautiful machine with a set of tokens will impress every slot fan.
An Informative Casino Book
Success in the casino space often stems from knowledge. If you know which slots to pick, you can win more often than a total newbie. If you can count cards in blackjack or use the right poker skills, you can make profits at the casino.
Buying the bride or groom a gambling book could be the best gift you ever purchase. Imagine if your friend discovered a great roulette out of the strategy. You can be certain he will come rushing to thank you after he wins.
