- Once you have the opening hours of each marina, map out your route. REMEMBER, this poker run can be completed by boat or land or combination of the two! You can stop at as few or as many marinas as you wish, but the more stamps you get, the more cards you get to make the best possible hand you can.
- During the actual event, for every stop you make, take your ticket inside to get the back stamped by that participating marina. For every stamp you get from the different marinas, determines how many cards you will receive at the final stop which is Moors Resort.
- Be sure to be at MOORS RESORT MARINA by 4:00PM. At this time, you will get in line to turn in your stamped ticket and receive your hand from one of our dealers. In order to purchase a “mulligan” for an additional $10.00, you must have visited at least 5 marinas beforehand.
- Sit back and wait to see how your hand measures up, best hand wins!
-Prize Payouts are as follows: Best hand pays out $1,000; 2nd best hand pays out $500; 3rd best hand, $300; 4th & 5th best, $100 each.
