Yup, we have 'em out west, lots of 'em. Starting point, (usually at a bike shop or the club house of the club puttin' it on) sign in, get your run pin, then the traditional 4 stops at various bars to draw your cards, then the final draw at the end where there is a bar-b-q, band, beer, games (on and off the bike) and raffles for prizes.

They are illegal here in Arizona: http://www.azgaming.gov/WebGamblingDocument.pdf I guess the Arizona Nations consider them to be a threat to their lock on local gambling.

I thought they had a big doin's just NE of Phoenix last Sept early Nov. I was talking to few guys out there while I was visiting my son. They didn't use the term poker run. Maybe it was just a bike ride. All I know is there was a big hullabaloo because one town they had to go thru to get there didn't want em around.
