Join us on the beautiful lawns of the historic Harry S. Truman Little White House for what we hope will become an annual event: The Buck Stops Here Charity Casino Night and Shotgun Poker Tournament. This will be a full night of activities, from traditional casino games to a shotgun poker tournament, with a silent art auction, a raffle, and, of course, good food and a donation-based bar for drinks. All ticket holders will receive $100 in chips, 1 drink ticket, and one raffle ticket, with the option to buy more of everything!
The night will begin with a cocktail hour from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Enjoy The Truman’s favorite drink, a strong Old Fashioned, nibble on hors d’oeuvres, and peruse the art for sale in the silent auction. You will also be able to see the items available for the raffle to be held at the end of the night and choose which ones you would like to compete for.

Shotgun Poker Tournament
What is a shotgun poker tournament?
- Everyone begins play at the announced start time.
- Players are assigned to multiple tables.
- Each player starts with the same number of chips.
- When time is called, the player with the most chips at each table will advance to the final round.
- The players who do not advance will receive $100 in chips to use in the casino
The final round will be played on the exact replica of President Truman’s poker table, which will be center stage.
This tournament will start promptly at 6:15 PM. The first round will run until 8:15 PM. The player with the most chips at each table will advance to the replica table, which will be located on the stage, and the final round will run from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM. The winner will receive a plaque and the use of the poker porch and bar in the museum for a cocktail party.
Buy-in for Members is $200, and Non-Members is $250
Players in the poker tournament will start with $3,000 in chips, with an optional add-on of $2,000 in chips, 2 free drinks, one raffle ticket, and hors d’oeuvres.
Between 9:30 PM and 10:00 PM, the winners of the raffles, the silent auction items, and the winner of the poker tournament will be announced.
This is a fundraiser for the continued care of the poker porch, the poker table, and associated items.
