The idea

Most booked for

30ths · work dos · bucks nights · one extremely competitive book club.

Your own casino for the night, minus the tourists.

The Copper Room holds sixty people, two to four gaming tables and a bar that stays behind your door. You choose the games — blackjack and roulette are the crowd-pleasers — and whether the pokies corner hums along or stays dark. Dealers arrive with the room. So does the playlist, if you bring one.

It's the same setup we run for the salon, just with your people on the list. Everyone plays with house chips, the bar tabs are itemised like adults, and the room resets to normal by morning. Formats and pricing live below; the events desk holds dates for a week while you wrangle the guest list.

House chips, not real money

Guests play for chips and glory. Prizes come from your budget — we've got ideas if you're stuck.

Staff stay till the lights go up

Two hosts and a security presence for every booking over 30. Nobody walks to a taxi alone.

Good to know

The three questions every booker asks.

Everything else is one call to +64 21 199 1936 or the contact form.

Private events run on house chips with prizes you provide — it keeps the night legal, fun and nobody's rent at risk. The salon next door is the place for real stakes.

Decorations, yes — cake and catering come from the kitchen for safety and sanity reasons. The bar can be pre-paid or tabbed.

Deposit back in full up to 14 days out, half inside the fortnight. The terms page has the exact wording.

Fridays book out 4–6 weeks ahead

Give the birthday person a casino for one night.

Tell the events desk the date and the headcount — a floor plan and a quote come back the same day.
