## What it is
An open-source online poker game server built on Node.js, Redis, and Socket.IO, supporting Texas Holdem and Jinhua with a WebSocket client API and web demo. It scales horizontally using Redis as a message bus and PM2 for clustering.

## Use cases
- run a self-hosted online Texas Holdem poker server
- build a multiplayer card game backend with WebSocket
- host a Jinhua (three-card) poker game
- scale a real-time game server across a cluster with Redis
- prototype an online casino game with a JavaScript client API

## When to choose
- you need a ready-made, scalable poker game server on Node.js
- you want Redis-backed real-time multiplayer card games
- you want a WebSocket-based game server with a web demo client

## When to avoid
- you need Blackjack, Fight Landlord, or other unimplemented game rules
- you need an admin portal or payment integration out of the box
- you need a actively maintained project with recent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: service
