01 / THE GUIDE
Welcome Gift and Recurring Bonuses
Upon first launch you receive a welcome gift of one million free chips. This initial boost provides a sizable starting bankroll for learning Texas Hold'em mechanics and entering tables with other players.
A free bonus can be collected every two hours. Collecting the bonus five times in a row grants a Bonus Chest, adding an extra incentive for frequent logins.
- Log in at least every two hours to claim the recurring bonus.
- Aim for five consecutive collections to trigger the Bonus Chest.

Avatars and Poker Room Voting
Players can select from hundreds of avatars and display their chosen character while seated at a table. The avatar choice is shown to other participants, making each table visually distinct.
The game also allows voting for your favorite poker rooms.
- Browse the avatar catalog to find a look you enjoy.
- Participate in room voting to influence the next playing environment.

03 / THE GUIDE
Random Chest Drops During Hands
During a hand a random chest may drop into the pot. The chest appears as a visual cue and remains part of the current pot until the hand resolves.
If you win the main pot, you also claim the chest and receive its contents, adding an extra reward to the standard chip payout.
- Watch for the chest drop notification to know when extra rewards are at stake.
- Focus on strong hands when a chest is present to increase the chance of winning both pot and chest.

Global and Country Trophy Leaderboards
Winning hands and skillful play award trophies that contribute to a personal score. Scores are compared globally and within each player's country, forming two separate leaderboards.
Each Sunday the game distributes rewards based on leaderboard positions, giving players a regular target to aim for.
- Play consistently to accumulate trophies before the weekly reset.
- Check both global and country rankings to gauge your relative standing.
05 / THE GUIDE
Mini‑Games, Wheels, and Jackpot Events
Tickets can be spent on the Super Mega Wheel, one of the game's mini-games, which offers a chance to win the biggest prizes.
Special jackpots trigger on rare events such as a Royal Flush or a Bad Beat, and a Mega Drop occurs every four hours, providing additional chip opportunities.
- Save tickets for the wheel when you have a surplus of chips.
- Monitor the Mega Drop timer to plan high‑risk hands around its activation.
