Real Poker

Real Poker is an early test release of a multiplayer online Texas Hold’em poker client.

This is not a casino app, gambling service, or real-money poker platform. It is a free test version of an online poker program built for casual play, private testing, and continued development.

The goal is simple: create a clean, direct, real-time poker experience where players can sit at a table, play hands, manage chips, and test the foundation of a real online poker system.

Current Status

This is an early public test build.

The core client and server are functional, but the software is still being actively tested and improved. Bugs, disconnects, display issues, and unexpected behavior may happen.

Right now, the purpose of this release is to test:

  • Account creation and login
  • Server connection stability
  • Multiplayer table syncing
  • Sitting down and leaving the table
  • Betting, folding, calling, checking, and raising
  • Chip tracking
  • Hand flow
  • Observer behavior
  • General client stability

Important Notice

This software is for play-money testing only.

There is no real-money gambling, no cash-out system, no deposit system, and no financial wagering of any kind. Chips inside the program are only virtual test chips used for gameplay.

How to Play

  1. Download the client.
  2. Unzip the folder anywhere on your computer.
  3. Run the Real Poker executable.
  4. Create an account using the test authorization code.
  5. Log in and connect to the table.
  6. Sit down or observe the game.

No installer is required. The program runs as a Windows desktop application.

System Requirements

  • Windows PC
  • Internet connection
  • Microsoft .NET support may be required

If Windows asks for permission to run the program, that is expected for unsigned early test software. This build is currently not code-signed by a paid certificate authority.

Known Notes

Because this is an early test release, you may see a Windows warning saying the publisher is unknown. This happens because the program is not yet signed with a verified publisher certificate.

Only download the client from the official itch.io page or from a direct link provided by the developer.

Feedback

Feedback is welcome.

Helpful feedback includes:

  • Bugs or crashes
  • Login problems
  • Connection issues
  • Table display problems
  • Incorrect chip amounts
  • Betting/action problems
  • Anything that feels confusing or broken

Screenshots are especially helpful when reporting visual bugs.

Development

Real Poker is being built as an independent online poker project with a custom Windows client and private server backend.

This test build is the first step toward a more polished multiplayer poker experience.

Important Notes

Real Poker does not use an installer. You do not need to run a setup program.

The program runs directly from the folder after you unzip it. Do not run it from inside the ZIP file.

Windows may show a warning because this is an early test build and the program is not currently signed by a verified publisher certificate. Choose More info, then Run anyway if you trust the download source.

If Windows says Microsoft .NET is required, follow the prompt to download and install it from Microsoft, then run Real Poker again.
