One laptop behind the bar deals the game to your customers' phones over your own Wi-Fi. No cards to buy, no dealer to pay, no app for anyone to install. Tournaments, tables and a season league that all run themselves.
Free to try · $14.99 a month per venue · Windows laptop · play money only
Double-click one icon on the bar's Windows laptop. It starts the game server and tells you the address to share. Nothing to install, nothing to configure.
A big join address and a QR code. Players point their phone camera at it, pick a name and they're in the lobby. You don't set anyone up, and nobody downloads a thing.
Open a cash table or start a tournament. The software deals, runs the betting, moves players between tables and posts the results to your league.
Nothing here is mocked up. It's the software itself, run by hand on one laptop, with the TV and the phones beside it.
The whole idea: the house screen, players joining on their phones, a tournament that runs itself.
Set a name, a buy-in and a start time. At that time it seats everyone at random and deals. You never touch it again.
Tell it “every Thursday at 8:00 pm”. Each night’s tournament creates itself and opens for registration ahead of time, so your regulars sign up before they arrive.
Give each night and each season a prize in one line — a £20 bar tab for the winner — and it shows in the lobby, on the TV and on the league page. Then print the poster that tells the room.
Because the software deals every hand, it knows who finished where. Nobody keeps score on a spreadsheet, and nobody argues about it.
Put the house screen on any TV. It shows the room what's on, who's playing and how to join, and it refreshes itself all evening.
Built for people holding a pint in one hand and their phone in the other.
Your colours, your logo, even your own table. No designer, no code: it all happens in the admin console, in minutes.
Less than a round of drinks a month, for a night that brings people in on a quiet weekday.
Yours to keep for as long as you like. Upgrade whenever you're ready: the same download, nothing to reinstall.
Download freeIf your internet goes down, the game carries on. If the subscription lapses, a running tournament still plays out to its winner.
Subscribe: $14.99 a monthNo. They scan the QR code on your TV, or type the address it shows, and play in the browser their phone already has.
No money changes hands in the software. Everyone plays with play-money chips that have no cash value. How you run prizes for your night is up to you.
No. The game runs on your own Wi-Fi with no internet at all. The laptop only goes online when it starts, to renew the licence, and it keeps working for weeks if it can't.
A Windows laptop, your Wi-Fi, and a TV if you want the house screen. Players bring their own phones.
Download the installer, double-click it, and click Yes, Next and Install. It takes about a minute. Windows asks for permission once, because the installer lets phones on your Wi-Fi reach the game. Then double-click Plug-n-Play Poker on the desktop. Until you have a licence key it asks for one each time it starts: just press Enter to play on the free tier.
No. It's the same software. Your licence key arrives by email: type it in when the game asks for it as it starts, and tournaments, the league, themes and your own artwork switch on.
Download the installer from this page again and run it over the top: your members, results and settings are kept. To update your card or cancel, use Manage subscription.
No. Add a weekly event once — say, every Thursday at 8:00 pm — and the software creates each night’s tournament and opens registration ahead of time. Skip a night by removing that night’s tournament, or pause the rule.
Yes. Choose one of five colour themes, upload your logo, and if you like, your own picture of the table and of an empty seat. We give you a template to paint over, plus wording to give an AI image tool if you’d rather it drew one. You line the seats up with three sliders and see the result before your customers do. It takes minutes and needs no designer.
Nothing is lost. An update never replaces your database. The first time a page loads afterwards, any new tables and columns are added in the background, once, and nothing already there is changed or removed.
They keep their seat and their chips. The game folds for them while they're away and they can jump straight back in. A lost connection never knocks anyone out.
Each venue has its own subscription. Your licence covers two machines at the same venue, so a spare laptop is included.
Download it free and run a cash table tonight. When you're ready for tournaments and a league, subscribe: your licence key comes by email within one business day, and you type it in once.
