Running the Event

 

As your guests arrive, they will be given 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 their 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.

• Tables - We use high-quality Texas Hold'em tables. They have padded railings with cup holders and professional felt used in many casinos. Our tables seat nine players plus the dealer. On the Go Casino® Inc. only provides tables. The client will need to supply 10 chairs per table.
• Tournament Director - The tournament director will be the main person in charge of your event. He will set the blinds and chip amounts to make sure the event ends on time. He also is in charge of moving players and breaking down tables until the final table is reached at which time he will announce the action to spectators until a winner is determined. Our tournament directors employ the rules developed by the Tournament Directors Association and used in many big buy-in professional events so that your event is run to the same standards as a televised poker tournament.
• Dealers - Our dealers are professionally attired in tuxedo shirts and bow ties. Our tournament dealers receive additional training to ensure your event runs smoothly and all of your guests have a great time. They also will assist novice players by clearly explaining rules and procedures.

Also consider adding additional casino tables to your event. As players are eliminated from the tournament, tables will be freed up for side-game play. Adding blackjack, craps, or roulette tables to gives your guests other things to do for the remainder of your party. Any guests you have who do not play in the tournament can also enjoy the casino games. A good rule of thumb is to have enough side tables to accommodate 50% of the players in the poker tournament.
