INTRODUCTION
「After looking through some of the offerings of this casino, you find one that is not spooky and sounds like it belongs in a casino.」
『So many of these "games" have been nothing but luck, and I know poker takes skill, right?』
「Welcome! I sure hope you like 5-Card Draw, Texas Hold 'em, or 7-Card Stud, since those are the rules for today!」
「You hadn't noticed the dealer standing behind one of the tables, and watched as they picked up two decks and started shuffling them. "Do I get to choose which one?"」
「Oh! You misunderstand! All of them, at once! Let me explain!」

You can tag @MegaManBK7 in this thread or on discord in the event's channel for any question related to this section rules, forms, anime, time periods, etc.
All forms should be posted here now, and Mega'll grab all the sign-ups from up until this point.
What do you watch for a Joker?
Whatever card you are using it as. It can by any that work if it's used to finish a 5-of-a-kind.
What happens if I have two of the same card?
You can use it for any pairs, full houses, or 3/4-of-a-kind. They do NOT work to make a 5-of-a-kind.
There's a lot of cards here, how do I choose them?
You can take 5 from both your hand and the table to make any set you want. The hand rankings table shows the order of the strongest hands at the top left to the weakest at the bottom right. On the other hand, lower ranked cards are assigned larger genres if you want an easier time finding something or overlapping with non-casino challenges.
