Poker Chips Royale

Real cards. Digital chips.

Your phone is the chips.

Deal a real deck as usual. Poker Chips Royale counts every blind, bet and pot, down to the last chip. Play on one phone in the middle of the table, or let everyone bet from their own.

Two ways to play

One phone, or everyone's phone

Pick how your table plays when you start a new game. Both work for 2 to 8 players.

One device

One phone in the middle of the table

Lay a phone or tablet on the felt. When it is your turn, your seat opens into a panel that turns to face you: fold, check, call or raise, then confirm. The pot, the blinds and the dealer button move on by themselves.

  • No sign-up, no setup on anyone else's phone
  • Works completely offline
  • Tap the winner and the pot flies to their seat
One device: the player whose turn it is sees a panel turned toward them with Fold, Call and Raise
Multiple devices

Everyone plays from their own phone

The host opens the table and gets a QR code and a table code. Friends join in the app or straight from the browser, the host seats everyone in the Green Room, and every phone shows the table from that player's chair.

  • Join by QR code, table code or a shared link
  • iPhone, Android or any browser, mixed at the same table
  • Your stack, your buttons, your seat

  • Minimum raises and pot limit handled for you
  • Each seat shows what that player has in the pot

Showdown

Tap the winner. The chips fly.

Turn the cards over and tap the winner on the table. The pot flies to their seat and the next hand is one tap away.

  • Split pots: pick several winners
  • Side pots on all-ins, paid out one at a time
  • Odd chips go to the right player
  • Wrong winner? Undo it and pick again
Add chips: half buy-in, buy-in or max
Rearrange seats: the chairs around the table, with a plus on every empty chair

Comings and goings

Rebuys, late arrivals, early nights

Tap a seat to add chips. In the middle of a hand, they land as soon as the hand ends. When someone is out of chips, they can buy back in right from the winner card.

  • Add a player who turns up late, dealt in from the next hand
  • Remove a player who heads home
  • Rearrange seats on the chairs around the table
  • Guests ask for chips from their own phone, the host approves

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this gambling?

No. There is no real money in Poker Chips Royale: no wagering, no deposits, no payouts. The app only replaces the physical chips in a game you are already playing in person with real cards.

Do my friends need the app?

No. With One device, everyone shares a single phone or tablet. With Multiple devices, friends can join in the app on iPhone or Android, or straight from the browser at pokerchipsroyale.com/join, with no download and no account.

Does it work without internet?

One device works completely offline, so it is perfect for the cabin or the basement. Multiple devices needs an internet connection on every phone, because the phones talk to each other through our relay. Nothing about the game is kept after the table closes.

How many players can play?

From 2 to 8 players, in both One device and Multiple devices. Players can join, leave and change seats during the evening.

Which games can we play?

Texas Hold'em, Omaha (pot limit), Omaha Hi-Lo, Five Card Draw, Short Deck and Pineapple. Each game has its own rules card in the app.

Is it free?

Yes. The app is free to download and use. There is one optional purchase that removes the ads and supports the app at the same time, but it is entirely optional.

Which devices does it run on?

iPhone and iPad with iOS 17 or later, and Android phones. To join someone else's table, any phone with a modern browser works too.

The table is set
