Classic and hands-on casino games (11–20)
slot
You’ve probably seen slot machines at arcades and might have even played them.
The basic rule is to match the same picture across three positions horizontally or diagonally.
Since it’s hard to get a real slot machine, try making one out of cardboard or use a craft kit—they’re available for purchase.
To keep things simple, don’t create lots of diagonal or other matching lines; just make it so that matching one horizontal row counts.
That way, the rules stay simple and even small children can enjoy it easily!
Handmade dartboard

First Magnitude Star – Diamond Lily
Darts seem like they could be a popular attraction at school festivals and similar events.
Why not try making a handmade dartboard? Here, the board is made by layering two pieces of cardboard, but if you’re concerned about the sharp tips being dangerous, there’s also a method using a magnetic board and magnets.
You can come up with various shapes and designs for the board—circles, squares, hexagons, and more—so it might be fun to design a dartboard that’s uniquely yours.
You can also make the darts themselves safer and more enjoyable by embedding magnets in the tips and shortening the throwing distance.
Classic games that get the casino buzzing at school festivals! Interactive ideas you can enjoy right in the classroom
@dekitakun Spiderweb darts with paper plates and masking tapeI tried making it#TikTok ClassroomworkArt#diy
Goodbye Declaration – Chinozo
Let me introduce darts, a surefire hit for livening up your school festival casino games.
Get some paper plates and masking tape, and let’s make it! Stick the masking tape onto the paper plate to form a spiderweb pattern.
When attaching the tape, place it with the adhesive side facing outward.
For the darts, crumple tissue paper into a ball and wrap it tightly with masking tape to make it a slightly firm ball.
Once it’s finished, stick the target on the wall and have fun playing!
Flashcard
Let me introduce “Flash Cards,” a card game that tests your memory and tracking skills.
The dealer places 10 cards in designated spots on the table.
One card is flipped over for the participants to memorize.
Once everyone has memorized the card, the dealer turns it face down and shuffles by repeatedly swapping the positions of the 10 cards.
Participants must carefully track where the original card goes.
When the dealer stops, declare the spot where you think the original card is.
If it’s there as declared, you win; if not, you lose.
It’s fun to watch as well, so it’s sure to catch many people’s attention.
American casino
https://www.tiktok.com/@user6676075114657/video/7419669491036015879When it comes to American casinos, places like Las Vegas and Atlantic City are famous.
In particular, many Las Vegas casinos are integrated with hotels, and their glamorous atmosphere is a major draw.
Let’s try to recreate that kind of casino with classroom decorations.
For example, a black-and-white floor made by cutting and pasting plastic bags, colored neon lights glowing in a dim space, and a room decorated in American colors—red, blue, and white—would all help create a luxurious, playful mood.
That would be a lot of fun.
A slot machine that moves with twine and stops with a magnet
One of the classic casino games is the slot machine.
You can find them in many arcades, too.
If there were a slot machine at a school festival, people would probably think, “I want to try it!” It’s known for its spinning reels, but it seems difficult to make one yourself, right? Actually, you can build one using craft paper, twine, and a hot glue gun.
You can probably get everything at a 100-yen shop.
The reels are powered by the twine.
Playing with a slot machine is fun, but a handmade slot machine would likely spark even more excitement.
How to make a wooden medal game
We’ll show you how to make a wooden medal game that has a warm, handmade feel.
Prepare wood, a motor, casters, adhesive, and screws, then get started.
When using a saw for cutting, firmly secure the board with your foot while you cut.
It’s important to wear shoes during cutting to help prevent injury.
After processing the parts, assemble everything at the end.
Use screws and adhesive for assembly.
The key is to check the positioning and movement as you put it together.
Give it a try!
