Nobody has to shuffle tonight

It's still live poker

Everyone sits at one table, and the app never matches you with strangers. Your phone shows your two cards and, when it's your turn, the betting buttons. You peek at the cards by bending the corner, like real ones, and tap Check or Raise.

The chips are yours to push. Poker Dealer doesn't count them and has no idea how much anyone bet. Want the whole table to see the board? Put it on a tablet, a laptop or the TV in the middle of the table.

Less waiting between hands

Shuffling takes forever.

The server shuffles and deals on one tap. Nobody at the table has to know how.

Misdeals start arguments.

No card flips face up by accident and nobody burns one too many. Everyone sees the same board.

"Wait, whose turn is it?"

The app follows Hold'em betting order and moves the action along. The dealer button, the blinds and a timer for the next blind level are on screen.

From the all-in to the final tally

When a hand goes all-in and the rest of the board is dealt out, everyone sees each player's chances to win. At showdown, the winner screen shows who won the hand. At the end of the night, there are stats.

Results tab: final standings for the night, best hand and total hands played

Stats tab: each player's hands won, showdowns, all-ins, comebacks and bad beats

Some hands deserve a picture

After a big moment, Poker Dealer makes a 9:16 picture for your story or a Telegram chat: the odds you won with, a rare hand, a bluff, the final result of the night. Other players' hidden cards never end up in the picture.

FAQ

Do I need Telegram?

No. Poker Dealer is a Telegram Mini App, but it also runs in a browser: open in your browser. A friend without Telegram opens the invite link or scans the QR and types a name.

How much does it cost?

Nothing. Poker Dealer is free. If you want, you can tip the developer in Telegram Stars — it's optional, and the app stays free either way.

How many people can play?

Two to six, all at one table.

Do we need chips?

Yes, bring your own. Poker Dealer only replaces the deck: it doesn't count chips and doesn't know the size of any bet.

Can you play for money in the app?

No. Poker Dealer doesn't handle money and doesn't count chips. It deals the cards and keeps track of whose turn it is.

Do I have to download something?

No. It's not in the App Store or Google Play — it opens right in Telegram or in a browser.
