Poker Night Scheduled to Benefit Local Students
A WHS nonprofit is sponsoring a "Learn to Play Night" at the Poker Room next week.
The Friends of Winnacunnet Foundation, a tax-exempt, non-profit set up to benefit education at , will hold a 5 day fundraiser June 5 through June 9 at the Hampton Falls Poker Room with a special night on Tuesday June 5 geared toward people who want to learn the games.
The Poker Room is located at 1 Lafayette Road in Hampton Falls. For those who have never been to the Poker Room, June 5 will be a “learn to play night” with free food from local restaurants and instruction on the games of chance.
"Charitable gaming" is New Hampshire's legalized version of gambling. There is a $4 bet limit per game and 35 percent of each day’s proceeds go to a designated charity, in this case the Friends of Winnacunnet Foundation.
