How to Throw Blackjack and No Limit Texas Hold’em Parties
Dan Sherman: “Rent a small conference room at a local hotel or perhaps at a college… any place you can get a 50′ x 50′ room or so as cheaply as possible. Bring in 10 or 20 tables, hire a waiter and dealers for each table (the game rental place can help you there as well.) Then advertise a Blackjack (or Texas Hold’em) raffle night. Basically, people pay $25 at the door to get in (or whatever you have to get to make it a profitable night) then everyone gets a certain amount of chips. The contest starts at 8pm or whatever and goes until midnight. At the stroke of midnight, everyone counts their chips. For each $100 (or whatever, again) a person has, they get one raffle ticket. Then you do a raffle of a 1st prize, 2nd prize and 3rd prize…. etc. Of course, you can make money on the snack bar as well. Serving alcohol will most likely be prohibited unless you go through the licensing… etc. However, there’s too much liability, so I wouldn’t even attempt it unless you outsource it to a catering company.”
