Gangster Themed Poker Night - ideas?

D5T · 22 Oct 2010 at 13:24

Hosting a themed poker night in a few weeks & wondering if any of you had ideas to add to help me out?

Gangster themed ideas I've already got sorted are:

Yellow crime scene tape around the flat.
Body outline on kitchen floor marked out (in white tape - looks great)
Rather than playing with poker chips we're using fake US dollars.
Everyone attending in suits/fancy dress etc.
Gangster music from classic films.
Box of cigars, brandy & whiskey
Mannequin in corner with white blood splattered sheet covering it.

Anyone got any ideas or suggestions?

Have a plastic sheet under just one of the chairs.

You need a Gimp to serve drinks that won't go to the law after you shoot him in the foot.

You should force all players to speak in their "gangster" voice for the entire game

Need some bags of cocaine.

Nice touch Feek, like that a lot. When asked a "you'll find out later" reply will suffice.
As much as I love your reply of "hookers" I'll have to save that for another night.

Bags of Coke? Great idea except I'll divide up all the sugar, salt & flour in the house into cellophane packages ready for "exporting. Knew I'd asked the right kinda people.

Gangster place names will be done too.

How about a dim light bulb as well?

A police raid at some point in the night? Get some friends not involved in the poker to dress up and intervene randomly.

Mommas 'marinara' sauce cooking in the kitchen; constantly talk about 'up providance'; couple of shovels; tommy guns?

I have a man play the suspense violin music in the corner like all good gangster/mafia movies

Hire me to come & kick your door off & spray the room with a Tommy gun.

You and a mate goad them into gambling everything they own, your mate then hides behind a false wall and spies on their cards so you win. Then tell the losers that they have 5 days to pay you all the money you won, and for every day over 5 days you'll cut one of their fingers off.

I'm thinking of a couple of lads knock at the door not as a raid but needing to be "paid off" . Couple of my mates, trench coats & hats who show a badge. I pay them off & they leave. Not wildly exciting but if you don't know it's happening it could be pretty good.

A bag of cement and some chains stacked in the corner...................... you know for just in case

D5T · 22 Oct 2010 at 14:32

As I've got a mannequin under a blood stained sheet I was thinking along those lines, simply having a shovel & a bag of lime next to it.
