MIX IT UP!

Play money
& real money!

One can mix the play money with real money.

Players keep the real money & play with the play money that evening.

Use play money in the cash cube
to distribute the play money used for a Casino or Monte Carlo Night or playing Carnival Games.
Players can buy raffle tickets or one can hold an auction.

Win Prizes In The Cash Cube

Write prize names or increments of play money on slips of paper.

These slips of paper are added into the mix of play money and/or real money.

Players win these prizes or amounts of play money to use that night.

Put the slips of paper in small balloons.

The person catches the balloons as they blow around inside the Cash Cube.

They must pop the balloon & win the prizes on the slips of paper inside the balloons.

Put real or play money inside the balloons. They catch a balloon, pop it - and this is what they win!

USING THE CASH CUBE

One of the first times I was introduced to a cash cube,
I was running a game show for the promotions desk
at the Tropicana Casino in Atlantic City.
The winner of the game show
went in a cash cube for one minute with $1,500.
The denominations were something like the following:

  • One $100 Bill ($100)

  • Two $50 Bills ($100)

  • Ten $20 bills ($200)

  • Fifty $10 Bills ($500)

  • One Hundred $5 Bills ($500)

  • One-Hundred $1 Bills ($100)

    • The rules are you can't peal the bills off the floor,
    ceiling or walls.

    The most anyone won in seven weeks
    was about $385 total,
    if my memory serves me correctly.

    3 - Ways to use play money the People win

    When people win play money playing Casino Games,
    Carnival Games and in the Cash Cube
    they then buy Raffle Tickets.
    (1) They keep one-side of a two-stub raffle ticket.
    (2) They write their names on the other half.

    Option A
    All these tickets then go into one drum and
    names / tickets are pulled from the drum.

    Option B
    Boxes or fish bowls are placed by items on a table.
    The second half of the raffle ticket stub
    with the name written on it is put inside the box or bowl
    of only the items the people want to win.
    (often called a penny auction)

    Option C
     A Live Auction is held using the play money

    Option D
    A silent auction is held, however,
    kids may have a tendency to spend
    more than they have
    by bidding on multiple items
    in a silent auction
    when they don't have the play money
    to cover the all the items they might win.

    OPERATING
    THE CASH CUBE

    The cash cube has a tendency to blow
    all the money to the top.
    The money then sticks to the roof of the unit
    until it is turned off, then the money falls.

    Therefore, the operator of the cash cube should
    turn the blower off & on
    every 10-15 seconds
    while someone is in the cash cube so the money falls.

    To decrease the odds of winning a lot of money
    Use a blindfold
    if a lot of cash is put in the cash cube.

    Two operators are recommended.
    One operator helps people in and out
    of the cash cube and operates the blower.
    The second operator takes charge of counting money and keeping track of the winnings being used or won.
