Charity Gaming
Learn about our very popular Casino and the 50/50 Raffle.
And after many years, we’re also bringing back our popular Texas Hold’em Tournament on Saturday!
2025 Shotgun* Texas Hold’em Tournament
Join us for an exciting day of competitive poker at the Shotgun* Texas Hold’em Tournament!
With up to 10 tables and 100 players, participants will face off in two fast-paced, 2-hour qualifying heats. The top chip holder from each table advances to the final round, where all finalists start fresh with equal chip stacks and compete for cash prizes.
A $50 buy-in gets you 5,000 chips, and re-buys are available until the second heat begins. With a dedicated dealer at the final table and clear rules for fair play, this event promises intense action, big wins, and a great time for all skill levels.
* Hopefully we didn’t need to say this, but don’t bring your own shotgun.
