Overview
The poker system is a fully playable Texas Hold'em implementation with physical tables placed around the map. Tables are persistent (saved to the database) and support up to 8 players per table. Games use a sit-and-go format: once 2 or more players are seated, a 10-second countdown begins and the hand starts automatically.
Each hand follows the standard Texas Hold'em structure: every player receives 2 hole cards, then community cards are dealt across the flop (3 cards), turn (1 card), and river (1 card). The best 5-card hand wins the pot.
Hand Rankings (strongest to weakest)
| Rank | Hand |
|---|---|
| 9 | Royal Flush |
| 8 | Straight Flush |
| 7 | Four of a Kind |
| 6 | Full House |
| 5 | Flush |
| 4 | Straight |
| 3 | Three of a Kind |
| 2 | Two Pair |
| 1 | One Pair |
| 0 | High Card |
Blinds and Buy-in
Every table has a small blind and a big blind. The big blind is always double the small blind. The buy-in range is calculated from the big blind:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Minimum buy-in | 50x the big blind |
| Maximum buy-in | 250x the big blind |
| Absolute minimum buy-in | $100 |
| Absolute maximum buy-in | $100,000,000 |
| Chip value | 1 chip = $1 |
For example, a table with $100 / $200 blinds has a buy-in range of $10,000 to $50,000.
Rake
A small rake (house cut) is taken from each pot when it is awarded.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Rake rate | 2% |
| Maximum rake | 5x the big blind |
The rake is capped so it does not become too large at high-stakes tables. If the 2% exceeds 5 times the big blind, the cap is used instead.
How to Join a Table
- Walk up to a poker table object in the game world. You must be within 10 meters of the table.
- Use
/poker join <tableid>to start spectating the table and see its UI. - Click the JOIN GAME button on screen, or use
/poker join <tableid>again while spectating. - A dialog will ask you to enter your buy-in amount (between the minimum and maximum).
- If a hand is already in progress, you will be queued and seated when the current hand ends.
Spectating
You can watch a poker game without playing by using /poker spectate <tableid>. As a spectator you see the full table UI including community cards, pot size, and player actions, but you cannot see other players' hole cards.
To stop spectating, use /poker leave.
Gameplay Actions
When it is your turn, you have 30 seconds to act. You can use the on-screen action buttons or type commands.
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Check | Pass your turn without betting (only when no bet is owed) |
| Call | Match the current bet |
| Raise | Increase the bet (minimum raise is 1x big blind) |
| Bet | Same as raise |
| Fold | Give up your hand and forfeit any chips in the pot |

AFK Timeout
| Time remaining | Warning |
|---|---|
| 15 seconds | Yellow warning |
| 10 seconds | Orange warning |
| 5 seconds | Red warning |
| 0 seconds | Auto-action |
If you time out and can check, you will auto-check and stay in the game. If you must call or raise to stay in, you will be auto-folded and removed from the table.
Leaving a Table
Use /poker leave to leave the table at any time. Your remaining chips are converted back to cash and returned to you.
- If a hand is in progress and you leave, your hand is automatically folded.
- If you are all-in and disconnect, you remain in the hand until it finishes. Any winnings are saved to your account.
- If you move too far from the table, you are automatically removed.
