What Is Arcade Mode?
Arcade Mode features single-table, 6-player SNG tournaments.
SNG tournaments are on-demand poker tournaments. Instead of a scheduled time, the tournament starts right when your table is full. Games start with 10/20 blinds and increase at set time intervals throughout the tournament until there’s 1 last player standing.
The 1st place and 2nd place winners get Tournament Badges that you can redeem for prizes in the Arcade Prize Shop.
Multi-tabling is allowed and you can enter multiple tournaments at a time.
