Running the Event
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.
What we Provide
- 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.
- Tournament Software - We employ tournament software from tournament director
to track play and blind levels as well as to keep the tournament
clock. We can also provide a projection system for larger events
to display the event information onto a screen to keep all players
informed about the progress of play.
- Accessories - All of the chips, cards and other
accessories needed to run a tournament. We use 100% plastic GEMACO
playing cards like those used in many casino poker rooms.

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.
