Queen Of Hearts

The legality of Queen of Hearts depends on how the game is set up and operated, since there are different versions of the game. In Texas, a game may generally be considered lawful if all money collected is returned entirely to the participants involved in that same game, making it a participant-funded prize pool rather than a for-profit activity.

​

However, if organizers keep a percentage of the money collected, receive a commission, or use funds from one game to pay prizes for another, the game could be viewed as an unlawful game of chance under Texas law.

​

Highway 71 Brewing does not keep any portion of the proceeds. Every dollar collected is paid back out, resulting in a full 100% payout.
