Meeting fee

$5.00 per person

Tentative Games for the Evening:

Blackjack
The hand with the highest total wins as long as it doesn't exceed 21
Poker
Players bet on the value of the card combination ("hand") in their possession, by placing a bet into a central pot. The winner is the one who holds the hand with the highest value according to an established hand rankings hierarchy, or otherwise the player who remains in the hand after all others have folded (the player who makes an un-called bet.).
Craps
Players bet against the "casino" on the outcome of one roll, or of a series of rolls of two dice.
Wits and Wagers
Not a trivia buff? It doesn?t matter! Each player writes a guess to a question such as ?In what year did the bikini swimsuit makes its first appearance?? or ?How many feet wide is an NFL football field?? and places it face-up on the betting mat. Think you know the answer? Bet on your guess. Think you know who the experts are? Bet on their guess. Strike it big and you?ll be cheering like you just hit the jackpot!

Casino Night:
You will start the evening with 100 chips. You have 90 minutes to "bet." At the end of the 90 minutes, prizes will be auctioned, so bet wisely!

How to earn more chips:
We need dealers. Volunteers will be given 25 extra chips. You do not deal the entire night. We will rotate throughout the evening, so we need several volunteers smile

Prizes:
Thus far, there are 3 prizes. Please let me know if you have something you would like to donate (not a white elephant wink)

    Volunteer dealers - you will not deal the whole evening. That's why I'm asking for more volunteers. The goal is to rotate the dealers so that each one is only dealing between 20-30 minutes in the 90 minutes we are going to play. Remember, you volunteer and you get extra chips!
