-Rules to the Queen of Hearts-
At Theo’s Lounge, we are proud to offer a unique game experience called Queen of Hearts. We’ve purchased an official, sealed board and it is kept in a locked case at all times until the time of drawing.
-How It Works-
• There are 52 cards and 2 jokers for a total of 54 cards.
• For a chance to draw for the Queen of Hearts, purchase a $1 ticket.
• Tickets will be sold behind the bar ONLY.
• ALL TICKETS MUST HAVE YOU LEGAL FIRST AND LAST NAME, PHONE NUMBER, AND CARD NUMBER YOU ARE CHOOSING ON THE BACK OF THE TICKET. IF THE NAME ON THE TICKET IS NOT LEGIBLE, THE TICKET WILL BE CONSIDERED VOID AND ANOTHER TICKET WILL BE DRAWN. IF THERE IS NO CARD NUMBER ON YOUR TICKET, ONE OF THE PRESENT BARTENDER(S) WILL MAKE THE SELECTION FOR YOU.
• Tickets will be sold at the bar only and the jackpot amount will be posted.
• The tickets will be sold, completely filled out and placed into the container by 7:30pm on Tuesday’s.
• Each Tuesday at 8:00pm there will be a ticket drawn for a chance to pick the Queen of Hearts.
• Each week after the drawing, all tickets will be thrown away and ticket sales will start over.

Is the game “Queen of Hearts” Legal?
Queen of hearts is a game known to be played in different ways. Whether or not a certain game is legal depends on the specific facts and circumstances. As a general rule, when all proceeds collected in a queen of hearts game are paid out to the pool of all participants in the same game, it may be considered a “pool not conducted for profit,” which is not against the law in Ohio. However, if the operator takes a “cut” or “rake” of the proceeds, or if the game proceeds are used to pay winners of other games, then the game may be a scheme of chance, which is illegal under Ohio law. Theo’s Lounge does not take any proceeds from the game, it is 100% payout.
