Here’s a detailed English guide for organizing a "Casino Fundraiser" inspired by traditional Indian games, combining charity, entertainment, and cultural elements:
"Casino Fundraiser" Plan: Blending Indian Games & Casino Thrills
Objective: Raise funds for a charity while celebrating India’s rich cultural heritage through modified casino-style games.
1. Games & Rules (Indian-Inspired Casino Games)
Adapt popular Indian games into casino-like formats with charitable twists:
Game
How to Play
Fundraiser Twist
Kabaddi
Teams of 2 vs. 2 try to "tag" opponents by calling their names.
Winning team donates $50 to charity. Host a "Kabaddi Champions" bracket for daily matches.
Ludo
Classic dice game with Indian-themed tokens.
Players bet virtual "points" (donations). Top 3 players donate $20 each; others keep points.
Rummy 21
Arrange cards to total 21 points without a "joker" card.
Players donate 5 to play. Final score determines charity donation tier (e.g., 21+ = 100).
Tambola
Bingo-style game with Indian numbers (1-80).
Winning ticket holders pool $10 for charity. Top 3 tickets win a "VIP" donation spot.
Gambola
Indian version of Bingo with cultural themes (e.g., festivals, landmarks).
Every "Gambola" win = $5 added to the charity pot.
