■Story

Asuha Senahara, a self-proclaimed genius gambler, is a wanderer. Amidst the tables of cards and dice, it is she alone who snatches the chips at stake. One day, she learns of the “gambling district”, a special ward where gambling holds influence above all else. The “Witches” - a group of the most extraordinary gamblers rule over the place - treat Asuha to the taste of defeat; something she was unfamiliar with. They exercised not luck, not skill, but dirty tricks, such that felled Asuha to the depths of the abyss. As a self-proclaimed genius gambler, Asuha becomes determined to take down the Witches. The Coliseum is the battlefield. The challenger is Asuha Senahara. The chips are on the table, and the Witches are ready to be exposed.

■Game Information

■Improve Your Poker Skills and Become the Ultimate Gambler

In this game you will challenge others in a 1v1 battle of a variant of poker called Texas Hold‘em. You win by reducing your opponent's coins to zero. Gather strong hands and wager coins to deal massive damage to your opponent, leading them to bankruptcy.

*Texas Hold'em is a popular variation of poker where players are dealt two cards each and use a combination of those cards and five community cards to make the best possible five-card hand.

 

■Utilize Skills to Gain the Upper Hand in Battle

Asuha can use various skills to showcase her talents as a gambler. By using these skills, she can control poker hands, read her opponent's cards, and turn the game of poker in her favor.

 

■Uncover the Cheating and Defeat the Witches
