A downloadable game

Dream Table Poker is the ultimate home Texas Hold’em poker experience built for the SEGA Dreamcast, focused on trash talking and bluffing your friends from behind your controller!

Our hook: Every player views their private hole cards on their own VMU, eliminating screen-peeking and recreating true poker table tension. No other poker video game offers personal handheld card privacy. 

Your Profiles: Saved to VMU and can be transported keeping all data intact for play anywhere with a Dreamcast and a copy of Dream Table Poker. Your stats everywhere!

In the upcoming MARCH 8th release:

Now powered by GlowBot AI. A Monte Carlo driven, Dreamcast optimized, poker intelligence with adaptive personalities built from the ground up for Dream Table Poker. We STACKED it against that other slowki-poki AI, and it destroyed it!

Now with Rumble support. 

VMU emoji integration.

I'd be happy to help test online whenever you guys need.

I absolutely love the use of the VMU here. Fantastic stuff, keep it up!

Thank you for your support! We are trying to really build a full fledged poker experience that can only be done on the Dreamcast!!!
