What is this report about?
What happened? Please select from below
Suggestion: in my opinion, the following would greatly improve the game implementation
Detailed description
• Please explain your suggestion precisely and concisely so that it's as easy as possible to understand what you mean.
I used to play online poker and the animations etc and time after calling etc to see cards revealed is just way way too slow. This must be improved. If it’s this slow I would never play this on BGA.• Which browser are you using?
Safari v16.3

Mar 10th 2025 23:18 • I feel like this interface is exactly what you would expect to see if some board game creators put a poker game online. This feels like a great platform for people who don't know how to play poker but want somewhere nice and slow to learn and see everything that is going on.
People who play poker online will not like this interface. One of the tenets of poker is speed of play. Players at a table that is playing faster will make money faster, and have more opportunities to win between blind increases. This is a major advantage in cash games as well as multi-table tournaments. However in a single table, hand count blind increase tournament it works just fine.
However if in the future you want to attract more players you could add scheduled tournaments and possibly sit and go cash tables. For these to work you would need to add some options like; pre-action player option buttons, time-limited auto fold, auto sit out for afk players, and end of hand money distribution would happen in an instant, no need to explain who won or lost with what, poker players already know all of this the instant the last card is flipped. Just keep all the details in the activity thread.
