Starting a game
Type /arcade in a voice channel, or open the Activity from Discord's launcher. Players join the waiting room, everyone marks themselves ready, then the lobby host starts the game. Poker accepts 2 to 9 players.
Rules and pace
- Each player starts with 1,000 play chips.
- Blinds start at 10 and 20, then double every 8 hands, up to level 10 (blinds of 5,120 and 10,240).
- Each turn is limited to 25 seconds.
- The available actions are fold, check, call and raise.
- The game ends when a single player holds chips. A new game can then be started straight away.
Cards and privacy
Each player sees only their own cards. The shuffle uses a cryptographically secure random generator. Finished hands are logged for 13 months, then deleted. Play chips have no value outside the game.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to pay to play?
