For your next fundraiser or charity event consider a hosted charity poker tournament by On the Go Casino® Inc. Our tournament directors are trained to run an event like those seen on television. The growing popularity of Texas Hold'em poker on television makes the use of a poker tournaments extremely popular and very successful at raising money for your charity or fundraiser group.

Running the Charity Poker Tournament

As your guests arrive, they will select a seat card. This will tell them their starting table and seat number. Upon arriving at the table, the dealer will direct them to their seat, collect the seat card and give the player his starting chips.

Once all of the players are seated, the tournament director will announce to the dealers to "Shuffle up and deal" as seen on many television poker tournaments. Any late players will still be allowed to play. A position will be held for them and any blind bets will be removed from their chip stack as if they were folding every hand.

Play begins with each player receiving an equal amount of chips. There will be two blinds posted per hand to force the action. As play progresses, the amount of the blind bets increase. The tournament director will customize the blind amounts based upon the starting chip count, number of players, and length of the event. Most events are scheduled for three hours but larger events can take longer.

As play continues, players will be eliminated from the tournament. The tournament director will continually move players around and break down tables to keep the same number of players at each table. Once we are down to nine players the final table will begin. Play will continue until one person accumulates all of the chips and is declared the winner.
