Your Team Will Love Poker - Here's Why

Gold line.

Our clients often say they want something that makes their team more "team-y". Nothing brings people together faster than the power of play. Combine the structure of a tournament with the luck of the draw for a potent team building experience. It’s intentional, it’s effective, and it’s easy to implement.

There is a leader.
Our specially-trained dealers are your "Poker Ambassadors."

It's inclusive. 
Poker is a truly level playing field and since there is no real money involved, everyone can play.

Communication comes naturally.
The distraction of playing a game reduces anxiety and brings down barriers.

It's truly social.
Random seating ensures that players overlap and interact throughout the experience without any awkward, forced collaboration.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re hosting an office party for 10 people or an annual convention for 200—we make it easy. Guests simply show up and our amazing dealers will guide them every step of the way.  When you need a unique team building game that will engage your staff, think poker.  Yes.  Poker.

"We recently hosted poker tournament as a social event for women entrepreneurs. Our founders and guests had a blast. They appreciated the opening lessons and had a great time playing and getting to know one another and our guests. The Poker People back of the house team made planning the event a breeze and the dealers were personable, professional, and great company."
