It is important to be aware that this fundraiser does call on your club community to donate and doesn’t give an opportunity for fundraising dollars to be made from external sources. This is a great fundraiser to engage your members and to grow excitement and atmosphere around the club. Imagine how much excitement would be generated if the joker hadn’t been found after 15 weeks and the prize had grown from one carton of drinks to being 15 cartons of drinks. For example the prize may be a carton of drinks in the first week and jackpot by a carton of drinks each week until the joker is selected. Part of the excitement and fun of Joker Poker is that after each unsuccessful card selection the prize jackpots. The objective is to select the joker from the playing cards that are pinned faced down. Each night/week a raffle is held where club members pay for the right to select a single card.
In simple terms, 52 playing cards plus a joker are shuffled and pinned face down on a board, like a cork board. It’s usually played throughout a season on the major training night of each week or at the after match function. Joker Poker is a simple and fun game that has been played at clubs to raise funds for many years.
