Games

Every game.
Every structure, every table.

Hold'em, Omaha, Short Deck, Stud, Draw and mixed games — No-Limit, Pot-Limit and Fixed-Limit — dealt by one engine, from public cash tables to invite-only home games, offered market by market.

The catalogue

Thirteen games.
And the rotations that mix them.

Every game is composed from the same engine seams — deck, deal, forced bets, betting, action order and showdown — so each one is a rule set, not a fork. Stud Hi-Lo and Razz share a card below, as do the two deuce-to-seven draws. Face-down cards are drawn in green, face-up cards in brass, the board as outlines.

Betting structures

No-Limit. Pot-Limit.
Fixed-Limit, to the letter.

No-Limit, Pot-Limit and Fixed-Limit, chosen per room.

No-Limit

Bet anything up to your stack.
A raise is at least the last full raise.
A short all-in does not reopen the betting.

Pot-Limit

At most the call plus the pot after it, dead money included.
At least what no-limit allows.
The Pot button is the server's maximum, to the chip.

Fixed-Limit

One size a street: the small bet, then the big bet from the turn.
Four bets a street — uncapped when it is heads-up before the cap.
Half a bet or more all in is a full bet; less is completed.

The cap, enforced by the decision

In a limit game the engine offers one size, or nothing. After the fourth bet before the flop, the next player's decision carries no raise at all — the client cannot offer one, and the server would refuse it.

At the table

The games that make a room.
Run it twice, bomb pots, the 7-2.

The extras players ask for by name, settled by the same engine and the same ledger as every other hand — set per table by its owner or the operator.

Run it twice — or three times

Players all-in choose to run the board more than once, with equity shown and the pot split by board.

All-in insurance

Heads-up and all in, the favourite can insure the contested pot at a price set by their equity — paid from the wallet in its own ledger entries, so the pot and the rake never change.

Bomb pots and the 7-2 bounty

Everyone antes and sees a flop, on one board or two; a seven-deuce that wins the main pot collects a bounty from every seat — the games that make a room fun.

Straddles

Under-the-gun, button and Mississippi straddles, re-straddle chains and short-stack all-in straddles — or none, by house rule.

Each hand's share of the pot — exact with one or two cards to come, a seeded sample otherwise — so the same hand always shows the same numbers.

Cash games & private rooms

Public tables.
Home games. Both run themselves.

Public, private and invite-code rooms, waitlists that seat automatically, seat change, rebuy and top-up, sit-out and owner controls for home games.

A room's life

Open
Running
Paused
Closing
Closed

Closing finishes the hand in play, cashes every player out and takes the room off the lobby. The room is the only arbiter of its seats: two players claiming the last one at once get one seat and one debit between them.

Public, private and invite-code rooms

Rooms listed in the lobby, private to the owner's invitees, or reached with an invite code — checked when a player joins and again when they sit.

Waitlists that seat themselves

An ordered waitlist seats the next player automatically at the hand boundary, with head-of-list priority on the last seat.

Seat change

Immediate between hands, and deferred to the end of the hand when asked for in play.

Rebuy and top-up

The wallet is debited at once and the chips arrive at the next hand boundary — never in the middle of a hand.

Sit-out and stand-up

Sit out by choice or automatically after repeated timeouts, stand up after sitting out too long, and empty rooms close themselves.

Owner controls for home games

The owner invites and removes players, pauses, resumes and closes the room, and changes its stakes, timers and name between hands.

Room templates

Ready-made tables by game, stakes and size — six-max, heads-up, limit and run-it-twice — opened in one step.

Spectators, safely

Each room sets whether spectators may watch, and a spectator's stream never carries a hidden card.

Games per market

Each market sees
what its licence allows.

Which games and stakes are offered is a switch per operator and per jurisdiction, set from the back office.

Rooms, tournament templates and the back office all check the engine's one catalogue where a game is configured — never at the first hand.
Switching a game off stops new rooms and tournament templates of it; tables in play and schedules already set up carry on.
Each connection is placed by geolocation; a seat, waitlist, entry or new table of a game not offered there is refused, and the lobby lists only what the player may play.

The player's screen

Drawn from events.
Driven by the server.

Lobby, multi-table play, tournaments, hand history and replayer, wallet, store and rewards — 45 ms p95 render with four tables open.

01
Events in
A room's burst of events arrives as one batch, in sequence; a gap asks for a fresh snapshot.
02
One reducer
The client holds no poker rules: one reducer rebuilds the table, tested against the engine's golden hands.
03
The felt
Each table redraws only itself, so four tiled tables cost one felt per event, not four.
04
The action bar
Fold, call, raise and the slider's bounds come from the server's decision, never the client.

The player's web client at a six-handed No-Limit Hold'em table at 1/2: the felt in a leather rail with a brass line, a flop of six, ten and jack on ivory cards, the pot of 36 as casino chips over a brass-edged pill, five bot opponents on plates with their initials and stacks, one with a Bet 4 tag and its chips in front of it, Maya's five and king above her plate, an action bar with Fold, Call 4, a raise slider with Min, half pot, Pot and All-in presets, Raise to 8 and Time bank, and beside the felt the hand log and the table chat. — The web client at a 6-max No-Limit Hold'em table against the server's bots (each marked as one): Maya is facing a bet on the flop, with the hand log and table chat beside the felt.

The same moment on a phone: the felt taller, every seat on the screen with its cards over a plate, the flop and the pot in the middle, Maya's cards above an action bar held at the bottom of the screen with Fold, Call 4, Raise to 8, the time bank and the raise presets. — The same table in the web client on a phone.

The mobile app's lobby: a greeting by the time of day in a serif face, the balance of 20,000 play chips in brass, joining a private table by its code, the private-table button, the filters by game as pills, and the tab bar with Lobby, Tournaments, Hands, Wallet and Settings. — The native app (React Native), its lobby and a table. Shown here from its web build (Expo, react-native-web): the app’s own screens and code, not the web client.

The mobile app at a six-handed No-Limit Hold'em table on a phone: the table's name with the game and a green dot for connected under it, the felt in its rail, the flop of jack, queen and jack, the pot of 47 in chips, five bot opponents with Fold, Bet 4 and Call 4 tags on their plates, the bets in chips in front of them and a gift button by each, Ava's two and ten of clubs under the felt, and the action bar with the raise slider, the presets, Fold, Call 4, Raise to 8 and the time bank. — The native app (React Native), its lobby and a table. Shown here from its web build (Expo, react-native-web): the app’s own screens and code, not the web client.

Multi-tabling

Tables in tabs or tiles over one connection, open while the player walks to the lobby or the history, and tournament table moves that follow the player.

The web client on a phone

The same client laid out for a phone: every seat on the screen, the action bar under your thumb, buy-ins and decisions as a sheet over the table.

Your brand on the felt

Every operator themes the client with its own name, logo and colours. Premium branding adds fonts, felt, card backs and chip art and drops the “powered by” mark; Multi-brand runs further brands over one set of players; the mobile app builds once per brand.

Native mobile apps

An iOS and Android app, built with React Native and Expo on the web client's own state layer and protocol: lobby, tables for every variant, multi-tabling, tournaments, wallet and cashier, with an age gate, in-app account deletion and store ratings built in.
