Poker

Poker in Cookie Wars is Texas hold'em for cookies. You sit down with a buy-in, play hands against real players and stand up whenever you like: your remaining chips go back to your balance.

Tables and levels

Tables have 2 or 6 seats. The level sets the blinds and how much you can bring to the table:

Commission

5% of the hand's pot, but no more than 2 big blinds heads-up, 3 with 3–4 players and 4 with 5–6. If the hand ends before the flop, there's no commission.

Table rules

• 15 seconds per move, plus a 30-second time bank for your whole stay at the table;
• miss 3 hands in a row and your seat is freed, with your chips going back to your balance;
• join a table mid-game and you're dealt in when the big blind reaches you (heads-up — right away);
• leave the game while others are waiting for you and your seat is held for 2 minutes; hands go on without you and without your blinds;
• come back to the same level within 30 minutes and you must bring at least as much as you left with;
• at showdown a losing player may keep their cards hidden; the winner's and all-in players' cards are always shown.

You can also play with frozen cookies: what you win from them stays frozen with the same unlock date.

To invite a friend to a two-seat table, use the “Challenge” button in the poker lobby. Bot tables exist only in demo, where poker is played with demo cookies.
