On the 8th of April, Funky Casinos had the pleasure of being part of an unforgettable evening, as we were hired to entertain guests at the exclusive launch party for the brand-new television programme Zero Stars, which is now airing.
Set against one of London’s most iconic backdrops, the event took place aboard The Dixie Queen — a stunning paddle steamer cruising along the River Thames. From the moment guests stepped on board, the atmosphere was electric, with excitement building for both the television launch and an evening of premium casino entertainment.
A Casino Experience with a Personal Touch
To create an authentic and immersive casino atmosphere, Funky Casinos provided professional roulette and blackjack tables, complete with our experienced and charismatic croupiers. Every detail was carefully considered, including personalised casino chips and branded playing cards created specifically for the event.
The customised tables added a unique touch to the evening and helped tie the casino entertainment seamlessly into the Zero Stars brand experience. Guests were immediately drawn to the tables, eager to try their luck and enjoy the thrill of live casino gaming.
From Beginners to High Rollers
One of the highlights of the evening was watching guests who had never played casino games before quickly get caught up in the excitement. Our friendly croupiers guided beginners through the rules of roulette and blackjack, helping everyone feel comfortable and involved.
As the night progressed, confidence grew, bets became bolder, and stacks of chips transformed from cautious single wagers into towering piles across the tables. The room was filled with cheers, laughter, and playful competition as guests embraced the fun and glamour of the casino experience.
At Funky Casinos, we pride ourselves on creating entertainment that is inclusive, interactive, and memorable — and this event was a perfect example of that.

A Unique Venue on the River Thames
While the casino tables brought the action indoors, the venue itself provided a truly spectacular setting. Hosting the launch aboard The Dixie Queen gave guests a chance to experience London from the water, with panoramic views of the capital’s skyline lit up beautifully in the evening.
One particularly magical moment came when Tower Bridge opened its arms to allow the paddle steamer to pass through — an incredible sight that added even more grandeur to an already special occasion. The combination of luxury river cruising, iconic London landmarks, and lively casino entertainment made the night feel truly cinematic.
Creating Unforgettable Event Entertainment
Corporate launch parties, television premieres, and brand events are all about creating memorable experiences, and casino entertainment continues to be one of the best ways to bring people together. Whether guests are seasoned players or complete beginners, casino tables naturally encourage conversation, laughter, and interaction throughout the event.
For the Zero Stars launch party, Funky Casinos helped transform a stylish celebration into an immersive entertainment experience that guests will be talking about long after the final hand was played.
