We've added the long-awaited Multi-Table Tournament (MTT) game mode!
True to the name, MTTs take place over many tables at once. However, unlike Shootouts, this mode will jump players to new tables as others are eliminated (or new players join) to keep a relative balance. Tables will be removed as the number of remaining players dwindle, until one table remains. Players may be able to "Late Join" an MTT for a certain period after a game has started.

In a game like Poker, the order in which the cards are dealt is critical. The RNG algorithm used determines the sequence in which cards are drawn from the deck. By using a certified RNG algorithm, HD Poker guarantees that this sequence is random and thus, the outcome of the game is random and does not follow any pattern.

Ensuring an authentic poker experience is of the utmost importance to our team. Official certification of our RNG to ensure fair dealing is just one of the many steps that we are taking to provide the best poker gameplay experience possible.
