Live Poker Pro puts a professional dealer at your screen with every hand dealt in real time, clear betting intervals, and a table layout that reads cleanly on the phone already in your hand.
Live Poker Pro is a live casino table game built around a poker hand structure where you compete against the dealer rather than other players at the same seat.
HOW THE GAME PLAYS
Live Poker Pro Gameplay and Betting Structure
Four mechanics define how Live Poker Pro feels different from standard card games in the lobby. The betting rounds are paced by the dealer, not a timer you race against, which makes each decision point clear rather than pressured.
Ante and Opening Bet
Every hand of Live Poker Pro starts with an ante placed before cards are dealt. Once the dealer distributes your hand and reveals one of their own cards, you decide whether to raise with a play
Dealer Qualification Rule
The dealer must hold a qualifying hand to compete against yours. If the dealer does not qualify, your ante pays out at fixed odds and your play bet is returned.
Hand Rankings in Play
Live Poker Pro follows standard poker hand rankings from high card through to straight flush. The game window displays a reference chart before you confirm your seat.
Mobile Bet Controls
The chip stack interface in Live Poker Pro is touch-calibrated: each denomination appears as a tappable chip, and your running bet total updates above the table felt.
GAME TRANSPARENCY
Return and Rules Visibility in Live Poker Pro

In-Game Rules Access

Supported Devices and Browsers
Live Poker Pro runs in the mobile browser on Android and iOS without a separate download. The dealer video stream and card animations load through the same browser session used to log in to your 88ek account, so there is no separate app installation required for this game.

POKER TERM GLOSSARY
Live Poker Pro — Terms Explained
These definitions cover the key terms that come up when learning Live Poker Pro. Each entry is written for someone new to the poker variant format, not for a tournament player who already knows the mechanics.
What is an ante bet in Live Poker Pro?
The ante is the mandatory opening bet placed before any cards are dealt. It commits you to the hand and is the minimum required stake. If the dealer does not qualify, the ante pays out at fixed table odds regardless of your hand strength.
What does dealer qualification mean?
Dealer qualification is the minimum hand strength the dealer must hold for their hand to compete against yours. In Live Poker Pro, if the dealer fails to qualify, the play bet is returned and only the ante is settled, typically in the player's favour at fixed odds.
What is a play bet in this game?
After seeing your hand and the dealer's face-up card, a play bet is the optional second wager you make to continue the hand. Placing a play bet means you believe your hand can beat the dealer's. Folding forfeits the ante and ends your participation in that round.
What is hand ranking in Live Poker Pro?
Hand ranking is the hierarchy that determines which poker hand beats which. From high card at the lowest position through pairs, two pairs, three of a kind, straight, flush, full house to straight flush at the highest. The in-game reference chart lists every rank before play.
What does RTP mean in a live casino table game?
RTP stands for Return to Player — the theoretical percentage of total bets a game returns over many rounds. For live casino games like Live Poker Pro, RTP is shown only when the provider publishes it inside the game window. We do not publish figures the provider has not confirmed.
What is a side bet in Live Poker Pro?
A side bet is an optional wager separate from the main ante and play bet, typically settled on the strength of your initial hand before the dealer reveals. Side bet pay-tables are specific to the Live Poker Pro variant and are displayed in the game's information panel.
YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Live Poker Pro — Common Questions
These questions come from players who are either new to the poker variant format or returning to Live Poker Pro after time away. Answers focus on how the game works on 88ek specifically, not on general poker theory.
How do I find Live Poker Pro in the 88ek lobby?
Open the live casino section from the main navigation menu, then select the table games filter or type 'Live Poker Pro' into the search bar. The game tile shows the active dealer and seat status before you enter, so you know the table is running before you click in.
Do I need to download anything to play Live Poker Pro on my phone?
No separate download is needed. Live Poker Pro runs entirely inside the mobile browser on Android and iOS.
Can I deposit with bKash or Rocket before joining a Live Poker Pro table?
Yes. bKash and Rocket are both configured payment methods on 88ek. Add funds to your account wallet using either method, then navigate to Live Poker Pro in the live casino section. The wallet balance you deposited will be available at the table chip selection screen.
What happens to my Live Poker Pro session if my connection drops mid-hand?
If your connection drops while a hand is in progress, the platform handles the round based on the game's disconnection rules, which are published in the help centre under live casino session management.
Is Live Poker Pro available in Bangladesh?
Live Poker Pro appears in the 88ek live casino lobby, but access depends on your local law and the eligible regions applied to your account.
How is Live Poker Pro different from Holdem QuickFire on 88ek?
Both are live table games in the poker category on 88ek, but they follow different formats. Holdem QuickFire is structured around the Texas Hold'em community-card format with shared board cards.
