RULES

• Paid meal receipt must show ten dollars or more (excluding taxes and tip) to be eligible for a Meal Ticket Hold'em ticket.
• When a ticket is requested a receipt must be provided to the TD that matches the day of the event on which the request has been made. Receipts not showing the proper date, and/or late submissions cannot be honored to ensure fairness.
• The TD will issue a ticket for every ten dollars accumulated on the receipt submitted. Only one member can collect tickets for one receipt, it is up to the players to share tickets if all meals were on one bill.
• To increase the chance of winning, Members can accumulate as many 'hole' cards as they want. Tickets are limited and coded to avoid duplication of unique hands.
• The winning hand must be the best five card hand using the two (2) cards printed on the participant's ticket and the five community cards displayed on the Red Hot Poker Tour site at the end of the month.
• In the event of a tie, new hole card 'break open' tickets will be awarded for each tied player. Then a new set of community cards will be dealt (for only tied players) to determine a winner. Rank of suits is not used as a tie breaker.
• The board does not play. The winning hand must use the two cards in your 'break open' ticket. Cards that duplicate community cards can only be used once.
• If the best hand is the highest hand, and all players are tied, a new set of community cards will be dealt.
