 Congress Trade Show - Friday

Game #1: Chips Flow, Guesses Rock - Find the Chip Jar and put in your guess as to how many Chips are there!

Game #2: Today’s theme is: Hands That Connect - Deal Yourself Into the Flow

How to Play:

  1. Collect Cards

    • Visit vendor booths and chat with the exhibitors.

    • Not sure what to say? Use the sample questions provided on your sheet to get the conversation flowing.

    • After each conversation, the vendor will give you ONE playing card.

    • The more vendors you visit, the more cards you’ll collect!

  2. Build Poker Hands

    • Use your collected cards to make as many poker hands as you want.

    • Each hand must include exactly 5 cards, even if your best hand is just a simple pair (like two 9s).

    • The stronger your poker hand, the more tickets you’ll earn — check the Poker Hand Board to see how many tickets each hand is worth.

  3. Score Big With Golden Chips!

    • If you have a really great conversation with a vendor, they may reward you with a Golden Chip.

    • Bring your Golden Chip to the Roulette Wheel and spin for extra tickets!
