GET READY TO ANTE UP: Yuga Labs’ James Hall Shares A Texas Hold ’Em Screenshot, Teasing Poker Coming To Otherside Soon

The devs are getting ready to deal around the swamp, as the team teased that poker will be coming to Otherside soon!

This isn’t a bluff. On Wednesday, Yuga Labs Head of Engineering James Hall shared an Otherside screenshot of “Texas Hold ’Em,” showcasing a drop down menu similar to PokerStars or PartyPoker, complete with active, joinable, and open tables, as well as the option to take a seat or simply spectate.

 

Tonight, it’s still unclear when poker will officially launch in the metaverse, but Hall did say that a play-money version will roll out first, with a real $Ape money version potentially following.

“We’re gonna open it up,” Hall tweeted. “Let people play with fake money make sure there’s no huge issues, then maybe figure some other fun stuff out.”

 

 

 

Although poker hasn’t gone live yet, Apes have already gotten a glimpse of what the game could look like around the swamp.

As the Gazette previously reported, the Web3 world was invited to Otherside back in August 2024 to play some poker and watch a charity game where Captain Trippy won $45,000 USD for Made By Apes charity By Autistic, besting Garga, Gordon Goner, Tomato, Figge, Adam Weitsman, OSF, MachiBigBrother, and PP Man!

  

 

The Gazette will continue to follow all things poker on Otherside and will let you know when Apes can finally ante up. Stay tuned for updates!
