Casino Q & A
Why can’t I play for money? Japanese Law prohibits us from doing so What games will be there? Roulette, Big Six wheel, and Blackjack What is “funny money”? “Funny money” is the currency that enables us to run a “casino”. You buy “funny money” with yen and then exchange it for chips ¥1000=¥1000 funny money=10 chips What do I do with the ¥2000 in funny money I receive at registration on the night? Central and get 2 raffle tickets What is a raffle ticket? Raffle tickets are what you are playing for. The more chips you have, the more times you can go into the Tyler Foundation/Talent Fusion Grand Raffle drawn on October 3 (10 chips=1 entry) What are my options if I have run out of chips? Buy some more!! Remember you can’t purchase chips directly with cash so first purchase funny money from a TF runner (they have the bright orange TF T-shirts on…) What do I do when I want to switch to another table/game? Either pick up your chips and leave (after collecting your winnings of course) or cash in your chips for the equivalent amount in funny money from a TF runner or the dealer What is a RT voucher? A Raffle Ticket Voucher (RTV) – is for those who wish to cash in their chips and enter into the raffle draw (Remember 10 chips gives you one entry) Just call a TF runner!! Can I exchange chips directly for raffle tickets? Yes, just ask an orange T-shirt!! Remember, you may also exchange Funny Money for raffle tickets if you wish (On October 2)
Go to a table and give the funny money to the dealer who will exchange it for chips, or you can go directly to Ticket
Don’t tell me I have to fill in raffle tickets myself!!! Nah, don’t worry about that – we do it for you!! Just provide an orange T-Shirt with your name and contact details (a good idea is to bring some business cards) How do I find out if I have won something in the raffle? All prize winners will be posted on the Tyler Foundation website – we will be in touch with all the lucky winners in the
week following the draw What are the rules for each game? Click on these links to find out more about the games Can I drink at the tables? Yes, by all means!! I haven’t gambled before but want to have a try – can I? No worries!! There is a “I haven’t gambled before but want to have a try” table designed just for you!! Do I need to know anything else? Yes, have fun and enjoy the evening – and as our new therapy dog would say… “Ruff… ruff ruuuufff…” (roughly translated means put all your chips on number 7…or number 9…)
