Ski Utah Announces License Plate Poker

Salt Lake City, UT - The new "ski" license plate recently issued by the Utah Division of Motor Vehicles features "The Greatest Snow on Earth" and depicts the majestic Wasatch Mountains with the figure of a skier in front of them. In celebration of the new plate, Ski Utah has decided to play some cards in the form of license plate poker.

License plate poker is simple to play and all Utah vehicle owners are eligible to enter. Contestants must email a picture of their new plate with their name and city to poker@skiutah.com in order to enter. License plate letters and numbers are scored like poker hands. The player with the highest plate will hit the slopes next winter with a brand new pair of Rossignol skis and bindings or a Burton snowboard with bindings. Ski Utah will accept new contestants throughout the 2007-08 winter season.

“We were so excited by the new ski plate, we just had to have some fun with it,” said Ski Utah president, Nathan Rafferty. “License plate poker is a great way to get people as excited as we are about this new plate… and win some great gear too.”

The rules of License Plate Poker are just like classic poker, only the letters on your plate substitute for the cards in your hand. The new plates contain six characters, consisting of one letter followed by three numbers followed by two letters. These characters will act as your "cards." Your hand will be the best five cards found in the number/letter combination available from your plate.
A=Ace, K=King, Q=Queen, J=Jack, 0 (zero) = 10, W = Wild Card
All other letters are garbage (don't count for anything)
Since they're using 1s, Aces are high
Look for hands containing pairs of numbers or letters to make three-of-a-kind, two pair, straight, full houses, etc.
Best hands are listed in order below:
1. Full House
2. Straight
3. Three of a Kind
4. Two Pairs
5. Pair
6. High Card
Vanity plates will also be honored and rewarded with cool new Ski Utah swag.

You have to have the new license plate, and you must be the owner of the car and be able to provide proof of ownership in order to win. For more information or to enter, visit www.skiutah.com
