Easy Steps Guide for Your Casino Charity

Casino Night Charity Event, Casino Fundraisers and Charity Poker tournaments became a phenomenon today in raising money. In fact, both land based and online casinos actively yields charities to raise funds for non-profit group or organization while offering the exciting and fun casino games. Celebrity poker players are also making their way towards charity.

Planning a Casino Fund-Raising

One of our primary goal in planning our casino night event or charity poker tournaments is to maximize our fund-raising potentials while providing our guest with the real casino experience and enjoyment.

Setting your Goal

As all organizations do, setting your definite goal and purpose for a certain project or event is the best way to start. This would be your starting point to vision your event.

Be realistic in planning your casino fundraiser or casino charity event. Set your goal of how much money you would like to raise covering the sums of your expenses and your target fund for your charity. This will set your entrance fee, script voucher prices and expenses. Then after, you could start figuring out your pricing and expenses.

Determining your Revenues

In business, revenue is income that a company receives from its normal business activities, usually from the sale of goods and services to customers. In casino Fundraiser, revenue usually come in the form of ticket sales, casino table sponsorship, additional casino script vouchers and others.

Ticket Sales

In order to reach your goal, encourage more participants to come in your event and sell more tickets as possible. Your attendee and tickets sold are your main source of income for your charity event.

Setting casino fundraiser committee is a good way to handle this. They should be the one responsible for selling tickets or providing names for mailing and invitation’s lists. It is very important to determine your head count; this would determine the amount of casino tables you will need and food counts.

Sponsoring Tables

Getting sponsors is a great way to lessen your expenses. For the tables needed in the event, its a wise idea to get your sponsors so that you would not pay for the tables and provide additional revenue towards your goal. Sponsoring casino fundraiser tables should at least cover the cost of the table.

In addition, willing sponsors could also donate prizes for your charity event. In return, you could also invite your sponsors and their employees to attend or ask if they would like to have some small advertisement cards on the tables.

Additional Vouchers

Guest are usually given initial voucher as part of their entrance fee. This nominal amount of “casino script” let them purchase additional “casino script”, making an additional donation to your charity. Just keep your donations in a comfortable range.

Be creative in your casino fund-raising events and don’t forget to promote your event via Internet to attracts even the online casinos avid players. Plan your event wisely and consider every details.



 
 
 
 

Brief to Host a Texas Holdem Tournament in 10 Easy Steps

In today’s ever expanding world of poker popularity learning how to host a Texas Holdem Tournament is both valuable and rewarding. You’ll get a better understanding of how tournament strategy is different to normal ring game strategy and more specifically, how the rising blinds and ante’s affect your overall game. Even with all of the current strategy guides, TV shows and instructional DVDs, No Limit Texas Hold ‘Em continues to confuse and confound the most casual players. One big obstacle is the proper way to play premium hole cards such as AA and KK.

How To Host A Texas Holdem Tournament In 10 Easy Steps

I’m not going to waste time talking about the extreme basics. You will of course need a few decks of cards, poker chips, tables, chairs and participants. Further to that:

1) Make the entry fee appropriate and easily affordable.

The night should be fun, entertaining and easily affordable. No one likes have to pay too much for anything. Make the tournament about the cost of a fair dinner or the same as going to the movies – like $20. If you have contact with keen players who like the idea of a bigger kitty move it up to a maximum of $50.

2) Set a starting time and stick to it.

Its important to have a set starting time and actually start the tournament at that time. Communicate how important it is that everyone is there on time and late arrivals won’t be allowed to join in.

3) Randomly draw seat assignments.

No one gets to sit where they please or next to someone they choose. Use face down cards to decide who sits where. I.e. If there are ten players, pull out cards Ace-Ten, shuffle them and deal them, and the card number a players gets dictates their seat number.

4) Start everyone with an equal amount of chips.

Everyone gets the same amount of chips at the start and the tournament runs until one player has all of those chips. If a player loses all their chips they are out of the tournament.

5) When someone’s out, they are out.

Have something for them to do! This can be another table where they can play cards (like Texas Holdem), backgammon, watch TV or DVD’s etc. Don’t forget to keep the snack table nicely stocked and the drinks fridge too.

6) When you have more then one table, keep them as balanced as possible.

As players bust out and vacate their seats some tables will have fewer players then others. To move a player from one table to another, take the player who is in the big blind of the table with the most players at it and move him to the most favourable seat of the other table. The most favourable seat will be the one that is the farthest from the big blind at that time.

7) You can have a set time limit where rebuys are allowed.

But be sure to set the rules around this. I.e. Only one rebuy per player and the rebuy must be within 20mins of starting the tournament. Outline the cost of the rebuy, the amount of chips the players gets, etc. and have these rules set before the start of the tournament!

8) Pay the top three places.

50% for 1st. 30% for 2nd. 20% for 3rd. Let everyone know at the start of the tournament what the payout structure will be.

9) Set the structure of the tournament.

Set the levels, the times between levels, the amounts of the blinds and antes all before starting the tournament. Be sure to have the levels clearly shown and have a clock clearly visible. Time flies in tournaments so its better to have an alarm or someone who isn’t playing to keep any eye on the clock.

10) Remember Texas Holdem is all about fun.

Don’t forget to have fun. Hosting a Texas Holdem Tournament can be a little bit stressful at times (especially if you are playing as well) so remember the real reason you’re doing it – to have fun.



 
 
 
 

Is it Easy Promoting Local Offline Businesses That Go Online?

You might be asking yourself what is the big difference promoting something in a global market verses trying to promote a business online that you just need to rank above everyone in your city or maybe county? This is actually a great question. Most people just don’t realize that there are very substantial differences. We’ll go over some of the major differences in this article.

1.) Geographic Targeting – We have an Internet Retail Site that sells Poker Supplies. It actually does pretty well for the little bit of time we’ve spent promoting it. Since people can buy Poker Supplies and use them all over the world this means that it is a Global Market. While this sounds very appealing, you have to understand that a market like this has hundreds of serious competitors all trying to get these customers.

2.) Poker vs. San Diego Lawyers – Lets say you are a San Diego Lawyer trying to get more clients on the Internet. While your customer base might not be global, you’re only competing County Wide for clients who can use your services. Which means statistically you might only be competing with a few people who know Search Engine Optimization real well, and maybe 10 others who know bits and pieces of the big picture. For example I typed in “poker” in Google and came up with 118,000,000 page results. I type in San Diego Lawyer in Google and get 31,600 results.

Which do you think would be easier to rank for? We usually can get on a page with these types of page results within a month or two, and that’s being conservative. The truth is if you drill down and do your Keyword Research, I guarantee you can find dozens of much less competitive keyword phrases to rank on. But the term San Diego Lawyer isn’t that competitive at all, at least for us it isn’t.

And almost 98% of all Small Offline Business that need an online presence would have much less competition than this. Think about it. I randomly picked a very popular niche “Law” and a very large city “San Diego”. Chances are your business will be a lot easier to get a top Google Position than this. The key is not to sell globally, but to drill down and sell locally instead. Most of the time you’ll find your pot of gold right in your back yard. This example fits perfect with real estate agents and at least 3 dozen other niches I could spit off but don’t have room in this article.

If you want us to discuss with you if your Offline Business fits this criteria, we’ll be happy to discuss this with you free. There’s so much misinformation out there, and people make things so complicated these days, that we just love to keep people informed.
