About Pixel Poker 5

Pixel Poker 5 is a five-card draw simulation using one standard 52-card deck. Each round begins with five cards face up. You choose which cards to hold, then make one exchange for the unheld cards. After that single exchange, the final five-card hand is evaluated against the return table.

The available round sizes are 20, 50, 100, and 250 GC. Glow Credits are shared across the site’s games and are stored only in browser localStorage. The starting balance is 5,000 GC. There are no accounts, no registration, and no way to purchase credits. A balance below 100 GC is automatically restored to 5,000 GC, and Free top-up is always available.

The return table starts at a pair of jacks or better. Hands below that level return no credits. Higher-ranking hands return larger multiples of the selected round size, with the largest table entry assigned to royal flush. The interface supports keyboard use, and a text log below the cards records the round size, held cards, final hand, and credits returned.

How to play

Set the round size
Choose 20, 50, 100, or 250 GC. The selected amount is subtracted when the initial five cards are dealt.
Review the five cards
Look for made hands, pairs, suited sequences, high cards, or possible draw patterns before choosing which cards to hold.
Hold any cards
Mark any number of cards to keep, from none to all five. Cards that are not held will be replaced during the single exchange.
Draw once
Press the draw control. Unheld cards are replaced from the same 52-card deck, and the resulting five-card hand is evaluated immediately.

The rules in full

Pixel Poker 5 uses one 52-card deck for each round. The initial hand contains five cards. After you choose holds, the game replaces every unheld card once. There is no second exchange in the round, so the hold decision is the only player choice after the deal.

The table is based on standard poker hand ranking. A pair of jacks, queens, kings, or aces returns 1 times the round size. Two pair returns 2 times the round size, three of a kind returns 3, straight returns 4, flush returns 6, full house returns 9, four of a kind returns 25, straight flush returns 50, and royal flush returns 800. A lower pair or any unlisted hand returns no credits.

A straight is five cards in sequence, and a flush is five cards of the same suit. A straight flush is both sequential and one suit. A royal flush is ten, jack, queen, king, and ace of the same suit. If the final hand fits more than one description, the highest applicable poker category is used.

All play uses Glow Credits for entertainment. GC cannot be purchased, transferred, or converted into money. The balance and local progress depend on browser storage, so clearing browser data can reset them. Since the credits have no monetary value, that reset is not the loss of anything valuable. The game includes keyboard-accessible buttons and a result log under the cards.

Randomness. The deck order is random for each round. Holding cards can change which possible final hands remain, but it cannot predict or control the replacement cards. No pattern in prior deals changes the next shuffled deck or the cards available after the exchange.
