Card rooms and casinos
The same engine that runs a kitchen table runs a festival: the difference is configuration. What the biggest rooms add is scale, and Felt was designed for it from the first migration rather than bolted on.
Multi-day
Every flight, day and final table is its own room with its own clock, its own lease and its own director. Day 1A and Day 1B run at once. Registration closes across all flights together, one live entry per player is enforced across them, and the prize pool and payouts are computed once for the whole event.
Bagging
Bags are sealed with a count by denomination and reclaimed on Day 2; chips are conserved through the bags or the discrepancy is shown with a delta. The redraw is seeded and recorded so a challenged seat can be replayed. The cross-flight chip leader board is on the wall before the last bag is sealed.
Dealer stations
A dealer's own phone with a grant that expires with the session, or a venue iPad on a stand bound to a table for good. Hand-for-hand completes from the table, so the bubble resolves correctly. A bust at the table is one tap. Chip counts at bag time and colour-ups come from the person who counted them. A compromised station can mis-bust one table, reversibly, and nothing else.
Screens
Name every screen, group them by section, point any of them at any event's clock, payouts, seating, a playlist or the sponsor reel, from the floor. Apple TV for permanent installs, a browser on a stick for the rest. Overscan and brightness are calibrated per screen; the clock digits are a quarter of the screen tall.
Cash games
Games by variant and stakes, first come first served, call-downs by push, web push or text, no-show rules the venue sets, seat changes and must-move tables proposed and never forced. The list is on the podium screen and on every player's phone. Felt records no cash-game buy-in, rake or time charge: the cage does that, and Felt has nothing to hold.
Control room
A control room does not want an iPad in someone's hand to be the truth. Set the venue to room-held and the cloud object sequences every command while every director's device sends intents. Lose the internet and an iPad can still take over locally, after a person confirms it.
Integrity and audit
Every event in the room, from a bust-out to a payout publication, is appended to a hash-chained log that cannot be edited without breaking the chain. Every random draw carries its seed. Every action carries the device that made it and the person who authorised that device, so an anonymous floor phone still resolves to an accountable human.
Integration
A big room adopts by integrating, not by retooling. Felt's API is the one our own apps are generated from, with API keys as a first-class principal, per-key scopes, webhooks signed the way integrators already know, a written deprecation policy, and live commands in scope so a floor system can drive a session.
Talk to us
Card rooms and casinos are priced for the room and the season, not per player at the door, and we would rather agree it with you than publish a number that fits nobody. Tell us how many tables, how many screens and how many flights, and we will come back with a plan.
