What you need to play
- One shared screen (TV, tablet, or laptop) for community cards
- A phone for each player to view their hole cards
- Physical chips or cash (or enable chip tracking)
- One person to act as the game manager
The game manager controls the flow
The game manager is the only player who can advance each hand. On the shared screen, tap the small table graphic in the bottom-left corner to open player management tools. They can also do the following:
Assign the Dealer Button
Use the ✦ icon to assign the dealer button to a specific player in the game. The dealer button automatically moves clockwise after each hand and helps indicate which player is the dealer as well as who is in the blinds.
Change the Ordering of Players
Drag and drop player avatars to update the order of play. This helps when seats change or someone joins late.
Setup menu and options
Open Setup to adjust blinds, starting stacks, chip tracking, and game preferences for the table.
These settings are where you decide whether the game is cards-only or chips-enabled.
Chips enabled
When chips are enabled, the game tracks pot size and action order to keep live play moving.
Editing chip counts
The manager can tap chip counts to correct stacks when someone rebuys or cashes out.
Playing the Game
Use the shared screen for community cards and the manager controls the flow. Each player keeps their phone private for hole cards while the table advances together.
To peek, drag your hole cards downward on your phone. Release to hide them again.
