The strength of a player’s hand is determined by the combination of cards they hold. Combinations are formed by the player’s 2 “hole” cards and the “community” cards. The hand rankings are listed below from lowest to highest:

High Card < Pair < Two Pair < Three of a Kind < Straight < Flush < Full House < Four of a Kind < Straight Flush (Royal is the top straight flush).

(provided photo examples if possible)***

High Card: When more than one player doesn;t have a pair, hands are rated based on the highest card in the hand

A>K>Q>J…

Pair: Two cards of the same rank

Two Pair: Two cards of one rank and two cards of another rank

Three of a Kind: Three cards of the same rank

Straight: Five cards in numerical sequence

Flush: Five cards of the same suit

Full House: Three cards of one rank and two cards of another rank

Four of a Kind: Four cards of the same rank

Straight Flush: Five cards of the same suit in numerical sequence

Royal Flush: A, K, Q, J, 10 of the same suit

Can I play online?

Yes. Install the Plato app on iOS, Android, or macOS to play the full catalog with friends or matchmade opponents. You can also play Ocho online in your web browser — no install needed.

Can I play with friends?

Yep. Tap Create Private Game, then share the invite link or invite from your contacts. When they tap Accept, they're seated at your table.

Is it free?

Yes — free to play and ad-free. If you buy something, it's for looks (themes, profile flair), not power.

Is it fair?

Shuffles, deals, dice, and timers run on Plato servers, not your device. Everyone plays by the same rules and no one can peek at hidden information.

Is it safe?

You can block and report from profiles or chat. Public spaces use filters and human review. Some rooms use Chat Pass to deter spam, and privacy controls let you limit who sees you online.

Live vs. turn-based: what’s the difference?

Both are turn-taking; the difference is the clock. Live uses short timers for quick back-and-forth. Turn-based gives you longer — often up to 24 hours per move in games like Chess — so you can play at your pace.
