[Casino at the School Festival] Introducing classic casino games like cards and dice

Want to try a casino at your school festival? Still not sure which games will really get everyone excited? If you choose interactive games that anyone can enjoy—from small groups to large crowds—your classroom is sure to be buzzing with energy.

With some creativity, you can create a realistic atmosphere using darts, bingo, medal/ticket games, and more.

Here, we’ll show you how to set up a casino that will liven up your school festival—from classic, money-free games to ideas for authentic interior design.

Dice and Card Game (1–10)

High & Low

[Trump (High & Low)] Introduction and How to Play: A simple card game where you guess whether the next card is “High” or “Low”!
High & Low

We’d like to introduce High and Low, a game characterized by simple, easy-to-understand rules that still deliver a thrill.

The dealer shuffles the cards well, draws one card from the deck, and places it face up so the number is visible.

The other player also draws one card from the deck but places it face down so the number is hidden.

The player who placed the card face down then declares whether their card is higher or lower than the dealer’s card, flips it over, and checks.

If the declaration is correct, they gain a card; if it’s incorrect, they lose a card.

Players take turns being the dealer, and the player with the most cards at the end wins.

Since it’s fun even with a small group, it’s a great recommendation when you’re looking for ideas for a school festival activity.

Cho-Han

Cho-Han

Chō-han, often seen in dramas and films, is a game where a kimono-clad dealer shakes two dice in a cup and players bet on whether the total will be even or odd.

As long as you have two dice, any container that hides them—like a paper cup or a mug—will do.

The rules themselves aren’t very difficult, so anyone can play easily.

To set the mood, the dealer can dress in a kimono like in the shows, and you can use tatami mats for decoration.

If the dealer also memorizes and delivers the authentic lines used in real games, it’ll be even more exciting.

Cee-lo (Chinchirorin)

Chinchirorin is a gambling game born in Japan, named after the sound of dice rattling in a bowl.

You roll three dice inside a bowl, and the outcome determines the winner.

In broad terms, you win if you roll a higher result than the dealer.

There are specific combinations (hands) in the standard rules, but for a simpler version you can adopt easy-to-understand rules like: “win with triples,” “win by matching all even or all odd,” or “win if you roll the exact numbers you declared.” You don’t even need a dealer—players can compete directly with one another.

Simplify where you can and run it in a format that’s easy for all ages.

Sic Bo

[Online Casino] Sic Bo Rules and Payouts Explained Simply! [Recommended]
Sic Bo

Sic Bo is a game where you roll three dice and bet on the outcomes.

Because payouts increase as the combinations become more difficult—such as totals, specific outcomes, or triples—you can expect big returns depending on your bets.

The game itself only uses three dice, but if you’re running it as a school festival attraction, you’ll need a clear payout table for visitors, so prepare an easy-to-read one in advance.

The rules are simple, but aiming for high payouts requires strategy, making it a game with surprising depth.

Fantan

My New Favourite Live Casino Game FANTAN
Fantan

Fantan is a gambling game from China played with buttons and a cup.

The rules are simple: a lot of buttons are placed on the table, and the dealer randomly gathers them under a cup.

Players bet on what the remainder will be when the number of buttons under the cup is divided by four.

You can bet on numbers from 1 to 4, and there are also options like betting on 1 and 2, or 2 and 3.

Because the rules are very simple, it’s a game that even first-timers can enjoy.
