Are you planning on holding a Poker Run?\u00a0 Well, hold onto your handlebars, because Odds On Promotions<\/a> has come up with some great ideas to help ensure that you run the ultimate Poker Run party at your next event that will have participants itching to come back the following year for more!<\/p>\n

1.)\u00a0 Hold a Lucky Joker Poker Gameboard Promotion
\n<\/strong>Are you wanting to draw big attention to your event by giving a few lucky finalists the chance to win up to a $1,000,000?\u00a0\u00a0Lucky Joker Poker, a poker-themed Pick \u2018Til You Win game, does just that! The game board holds 40 envelopes, each of which is filled with one of three prize symbols. Contestants choose envelopes one at a time, until they collect five matching prize symbols, winning the corresponding prize. If your lucky contestant finds the five Royal Flush symbols first, Odds On will be there to pick up the tab!<\/p>\n

Be sure to advertise the promotion at your event by making an online flyer that you can post somewhere visibly on your website and direct all potential attendees there.\u00a0 Qualify your partipicants by holding a simple raffle or poker-themed prequalifer.\u00a0 Another great idea would to have the top 3 finishers of the actual Poker Run come back to try their hand at Lucky Joker Poker.<\/p>\n

Decorate the site of the promotion in joker or poker-themed props and\/or decorations.\u00a0 Be sure to create a banner (or have Odds On create one for you<\/a>) for the occasion to catch the attention of your attendees.\u00a0\u00a0Include not only the name, date and\/or time\u00a0of your event, but also announce the prize to be won at the promotion! \u00a0‘Dress’ the site of the promotion by having volunteers wear joker costumes and have others hand out fun joker hats as complimentary gifts for those who participate in the promotion!<\/p>\n

Holding a Lucky Joker Poker promotion in conjunction with your Poker Run will help increase the number of attendees at your event.\u00a0 After all, there’s nothing quite like seeing a big grand prize advertised… OR having to worry about the risk of pay-out!<\/p>\n

2.)\u00a0\u00a0Insure a Dice Roll
\n<\/strong>Here\u2019s a great promotion that combines the thrills of high-stakes poker with the fast-paced action of a dice roll! Contestants simply roll their way to fabulous prizes using Odds On\u2019s customizable over-sized dice. When someone rolls the grand-prize winning combination of symbols (i.e. 10-J-K-Q-A, R-O-Y-A-L, or F-L-U-S-H), they\u2019ll win your jackpot\u00a0(up to $1,000,000)\u00a0and Odds On will send you a check! Talk about easy money!<\/p>\n

Looking for a unique\u00a0qualifier?\u00a0 Instead of holding a traditional Poker Run, have a Dice Run!\u00a0 Rather than collecting cards during your Poker Run, players will roll dice at each stop.\u00a0 The objective is to have the highest cumulative score, which is determined by the total sum of the dice rolls.\u00a0 Bring the top 1-3 “high rollers” back to attempt the Dice Roll!<\/p>\n

Don’t forget to award consolation prizes (fuzzy dice, anyone?) to everyone who doesn’t manage to roll the winning combination of letters, numbers and\/or symbols!<\/p>\n

Insuring a Dice Roll will be sure to attract foot traffic at your event, so you’ll definitely want to take the time to dress up your promotion!\u00a0 If you still plan on incorporating poker into your event, have your contestants roll\u00a0the dice\u00a0onto a poker table\u00a0(ideal for 1″ dice). \u00a0Serving hors d’oeuvres at your event? \u00a0Why not make some square-shaped marshmallow treats with chocolate chips which symbolize dice?\u00a0 The possibilities are endless!<\/p>\n

3.)\u00a0<\/strong> Insure a Lucky Hand Poker Run<\/strong>
\nA Poker Run whether by land, sea, or just at a special event is a proven fundraiser or simply just, fun! Register contestants and issue a list of five sponsor locations to visit.\u00a0 At each location, contestants randomly draw a playing card.\u00a0 After visiting all locations, they proceed to the final stop and enter their five cards into\u00a0Odds On’s\u00a0Verification Computer.\u00a0 If their \u201clucky\u201d hand matches the preselected winning hand, Odds On will pay for the prize! Better yet, the computer will also tally the highest hands for easy administration of self-sponsored prizes.<\/p>\n

Looking to add in a little something extra to the traditional Poker Run?\u00a0 While insuring a Lucky Hand Poker Run is undoubtedly a good approach to piquing your participants’ interest, you might want to consider having your participants participate in\u00a0multiple, small insured promotions at each sponsor location they stop at.\u00a0 Whether it be a small envelopes promotion, a zoom ball promotion or even a “lucky motorcycle” promotion, have the individual who is currently in the lead at the time try their luck at any one of our great contests!\u00a0 On a budget?\u00a0 Simply hold one of them at the final sponsor location stop!<\/p>\n
