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.

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:

SettingValue
Minimum buy-in50x the big blind
Maximum buy-in250x the big blind
Absolute minimum buy-in$100
Absolute maximum buy-in$100,000,000
Chip value1 chip = $1

For example, a table with $100 / $200 blinds has a buy-in range of $10,000 to $50,000.

You choose your own buy-in amount within the allowed range when you join a table. The money is taken from your hand or bank.

Rake

A small rake (house cut) is taken from each pot when it is awarded.

SettingValue
Rake rate2%
Maximum rake5x 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

  1. Walk up to a poker table object in the game world. You must be within 10 meters of the table.
  2. Use /poker join <tableid> to start spectating the table and see its UI.
  3. Click the JOIN GAME button on screen, or use /poker join <tableid> again while spectating.
  4. A dialog will ask you to enter your buy-in amount (between the minimum and maximum).
  5. If a hand is already in progress, you will be queued and seated when the current hand ends.
You will be automatically removed from the table if you walk too far away from it.

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.

While spectating you can click the JOIN GAME button to enter the game. If a hand is in progress, you will join when the current hand finishes.

Gameplay Actions

When it is your turn, you have 30 seconds to act. You can use the on-screen action buttons or type commands.

ActionWhat it does
CheckPass your turn without betting (only when no bet is owed)
CallMatch the current bet
RaiseIncrease the bet (minimum raise is 1x big blind)
BetSame as raise
FoldGive up your hand and forfeit any chips in the pot
All-inBet all of your remaining chips

AFK Timeout

Time remainingWarning
15 secondsYellow warning
10 secondsOrange warning
5 secondsRed warning
0 secondsAuto-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.

If you are auto-folded due to timeout, you are converted to a spectator. You can rejoin by clicking JOIN GAME.

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.

Card Notation

Cards are shown using a short format: rank followed by suit letter.
