2. Special Offer: Christmas Gift Giveaway
Every practice (social) game will begin with a "gift chip" placed in the pot of the first hand
The "gift chip" will have a value of whatever the big blind is for the hand / game
Whoever wins the first hand, wins the "gift chip" and may use it to pay their next or any following unraised big blind
Once used, the "gift chip" is part of the pot and no longer belongs to the user, unless they also win that pot
Whoever wins the pot with the "gift chip" can then use it for their next unraised blind, a following unraised blind, or keep it in their stack
A player may only use the "gift chip" to pay an unraised blind or to go "all in"
If a player goes all-in, the "gift chip" is included and calculated as the same value as the big blind for the hand / game
Starting at 10pm (or top of the next hour if the game didn't start at 10pm), whoever has the "gift chip" may redeem the "gift chip" for an actual gift or keep the "gift chip" in their stack to be used for the same value as an unraised blind
The "gift chip" can be redeemed for a gift anytime between 10pm and the end of the game
Once the "gift chip" is redeemed, it is no longer in play and no longer has any value
At the end of the game, if the "gift chip" is still in play, it can be cashed out for the same value as the big blind or it can be redeemed at that time for a gift
If the "gift chip" is redeemed for a gift, the gifts from which to choose are valued from $5 to $15

Any returning player who requests to play the practice (social) game for free can be given $2, $3, or $5 (whatever the big blind is). The request to play for free can only be made once per night and only at the beginning of the players play (first chips they play must be the free play). New players can buy in for additional practice chips after they use their $10. Returning players are not allowed to buy in again if they chose to accept our big blind free play. There is no real incentve for returners to play for free. But, they can play for free as advertised if they really wanted to. Finally, anyone who wants to play our Big Quarterly Tournament can do so by requesting free chips equivalent to one big blind. If they choose this option, they can still buy into the tournament but will be docked one big blind from their starting stack. Free play is only allowed during the first level of play.
