Each player initially receives a stake of 100 Hold'em Dollars complimentary. If your current stake is not sufficient to cover the Buy In, you can purchase additional Hold'em Dollars. After the usual antes, each player rolls two Hole dice, that are not visible to other players. Betting starts. After betting the button player rolls the three Flop dice, the Turn and River dice, each visible on each player's iPhone. There is betting after each roll.

PRISON LUDO — the classic game of Ludo, reimagined inside a prison block with a bold new twist. Instead of a single die, you roll two dice every turn: move two prisoners (one die each), or combine both numbers to send a single prisoner further. Roll a 6 to break a prisoner out of the cell, and double sixes earn you an extra turn. But beware — the Guard's Attention meter fills over time and with every turn. When it hits full, the alarm blares and the farthest unprotected prisoner is dragged back to their cell! Speed and smart moves aren't enough; you have to escape before the guard notices. Get all four of your prisoners to the center to win — and the first cell block to finish wins instantly. Features: • 2 to 4 players on the same device, or play against AI bots • Two dice open up deeper tactics than classic Ludo • The "Guard's Attention" meter adds thrilling time pressure • Fully localized Arabic interface with a distinctive prison theme • Plays offline — no internet required • Free to play — with an optional one-time "Remove Ads" purchase Escape… before the guard notices.
