Pure Hold'em World Poker Championship Description

Pure Hold'em World Poker Championship for PC is a simulator of classic poker in its most popular variant: Texas Hold’em. It was developed by the independent VooFoo studio. The production is the third installment in the Pure series. The two previous games, Pure Chess and Pure Pool, focused on realistic presentation of chess and billiard matches respectively. The developer also prepared other titles adapting classic parlor games, such as Hustle Kings and Backgammon Blitz.

Up to 8 players may take part in the competition. The opponents are controlled by the computer AI or by other players in the online multiplayer mode. In the game, a full standard 52-card deck is used. During every round, the players receive new cards and have to decide whether or not they raise the stakes, check-raise or pass. The person with the strongest set or the one that can force their opponents to surrender wins.

Similarly to the previous game in the series, the developers made sure Pure Hold'em offers most realistic and interesting presentation of the environment and elements of poker, such as the table and the cards. We may play in 6 various locations, from a regular casino to a VIP penthouse. Players may also change the color of chips and cards using a few themes available.
