QUESTIONS?

WHAT IF I DON'T PLAY POKER WELL?

That's fine. Hold-‘em is a very simple game. If you have ever watched a poker tournament on TV, this is probably the game they were playing. At registration, we will provide sheets that explain how to play the game, the card rankings, the house rules, and a few tips to get you started. Lots of novices have played at all our tournaments!

CAN I PAY AT THE EVENT?

Yes, you can make a reservation now via our website, or through a box office, and pay on the day of the event.

Come join us for the fun!

CAN FRIENDS COME WATCH?

Yes, in addition to poker, we will have BlackJack Tables that anyone can play anytime, friends or players that have exited the tournament!

WHAT IF I HAVE A SPECIFIC QUESTION?

Just email our Artistic Director, Jim Helsinger, and he'll answer any specific question you may have.
