Gulf Shores, Ala. — (OBA) — The Mystics of Pleasure krewe is hosting a public Poker Run along the Gulf Coast. The event welcomes participants traveling by boat or car. Players will visit a series of beach-area stops, collecting stamps at each location to build a poker hand. Organizers say the event is designed for everyone, not just krewe members.

The Poker Run is scheduled for Sunday, October 11, 2026, with registration and breakfast at Tacky Jacks Gulf Shores from 8:30 to 10:00 a.m. Participants are encouraged to pre-register on the Mystics of Pleasure website to avoid lines on event day.

The route includes six stops across the area. Stop two runs from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. at Island Time Daiquiri Bar. Stop three, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., brings participants to Last Mango for lunch. Stop four, from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m., takes the group to Pirate's Cove.

Stop five runs from 2:30 to 4:00 p.m. at Cobalt, featuring a pirate theme. The final stop begins at 4:00 p.m. at Tacky Jacks Orange Beach, where a grand Poker Party will wrap up the day with food, drinks, and live music.

The entry fee is $100 per participant. However, every participant will receive $100 back in cash or as a gift card. The top poker hand will win a grand prize of $1,000 in cash. Organizers credit the event's restaurant sponsors for making the prize structure possible.
