Yes you do have to be present to win the Daily, but once you are on the board for the Monthly you to not need to be at every event.  The Highest Hand of the Month will be posted online in our social media, our weekly newsletter and at the event.  The monthly winner will have until the end of the first weekend of the new Monthly giveaway to collect his prize money or forfeit their winner.  The Monthly Jackpot winner’s picture will be posted online.

Does the hand have to go to showdown in order for me to win?
No.  As long as there is a flop, and you table your hand and all other qualifications are met you will be eligible for the High Hand Giveaway.  For example: you have pocket 88 you raise to $10 preflop, two callers and the flop comes 8810.  You bet out and no one calls, please table your hand and announce I have Quads the dealer will call the floor and you will be written up on the High Hand Board… plus you’re probably good for the monthly too!
