Main Event Charity Games is holding Blackjack Tournaments at most of their events in the Chicago area. These are legal games hosted by licensed non-profits.
In Illinois there is legislature called the Illinois Charitable Games Act which gives non-profits a license to basically be a casino 4 times a year. Players win cash. Main Event Charity Games works with them to put these events on. Up to now the events have all been poker, but are now expanding out to offer Blackjack Tournaments.
Every event is hosted by a different charity organization. Usually 80% of the money paid by a Player goes back to the Players in the form of prize money, and 20% goes to the charity. The split may be more or less depending on the amount of money the entrance fee is. The split is always posted clearly on the website.
Tournaments usually consist of 3 or more rounds of 30 hands.
The next scheduled Blackjack Tournament is September 11 in Chicago.
