How dealin.cloud works

The cards are digital. The poker is all you. dealin.cloud is a cards-only Texas Hold’em table: the central device shows the shared board while each player’s phone is a private seat. No betting logic—just fair, fast dealing.

This page explains exactly how the system fits into a live game so you can see what changes (the deck) and what doesn’t (chips, house rules, and table talk).

One shared table screen

Open the table view on an iPad or laptop in the center of the game. It shows the board (flop, turn, river), a small deck and burn pile, who is seated, who folded, and who showed. It never exposes anyone’s hidden pocket cards.

One private screen per player

Each player joins from their phone by scanning their seat’s QR code. They get two private pocket cards, plus buttons to Fold, Show, Deal now, and Leave table. Only they can see their cards unless they choose to reveal at showdown.

Claim a seat in seconds

  1. Tap an empty seat on the central screen. Seats are arranged as 0–9 around the edge.
  2. A QR code pops up for that seat. Scan it with your phone to open the join page.
  3. Enter a name and confirm. The seat now shows as occupied on the table view.
  4. If you leave or sit out, tap “Leave table” on your phone. The seat reopens for someone else.

Starting a hand and peeking at cards

  1. Someone taps “Start hand” (you decide who can). The app shuffles a fresh 52-card deck, clears the board, and deals two hole cards to every occupied seat.
  2. On each phone, players see two facedown cards. Press and hold to peek; release to hide. The central screen only shows that the seat “has cards.”
  3. Betting, blinds, and table talk stay entirely with your group. dealin.cloud never tracks action or pot size.

Folding, showing, and staying in the hand

  • Fold: Tap “Fold” on your phone. Your cards clear from your device; the table marks your seat as folded.
  • Show: At showdown, tap “Show” to reveal your pocket cards on the central screen. If you prefer to muck, do nothing.
  • Stay in: Folded players can keep watching the board and are automatically set for the next hand.

Deal now: moving through the streets

The app doesn’t enforce turn order or betting rules. The dealer controls when to expose each street; other players don’t submit readiness votes. The dealing cadence:

  • From preflop: burn one, then deal the flop.
  • From flop: burn one, then deal the turn.
  • From turn: burn one, then deal the river.

Players can tap again to undo readiness if the action changes. After dealing, “Deal now” resets for the next betting round.

Run it full-screen on the table iPad

The central view feels best when there’s no Safari bar. Add dealin.cloud to the Home Screen before you start:

  1. Open shuffle.casa on the iPad in Safari.
  2. Tap the share button, then choose Add to Home Screen.
  3. Launch it from the new icon to get a full-screen, nav-bar-free table.
  4. On Android Chrome, use the ⋮ menu and pick Add to Home screen.

Once saved, opening from the icon keeps the central felt immersive and the device locked to the table.

What dealin.cloud handles

  • Shuffling a fresh deck for every hand.
  • Dealing pocket cards privately and the board publicly.
  • Keeping the dealer button visible and tied to a seat.
  • Tracking who folded or showed while the dealer advances streets.

What stays in your hands

  • Chips, bets, blinds, and side pots.
  • House rules and pacing—dealin.cloud never forces action order.
  • Deciding winners and pushing pots.
