== Playing Poker ==

The core gameplay of Round 10 is using Secret Actions to bid for cards at the auction and form hands in the weekly "poker game". Round 10 has many more card suits and ranks than a standard game of poker, which means there are some unusual multipliers to get a higher scoring hand.

== Gambling ==

In addition to the weekly auction and hand presentation, players have a few other gambling options available to them during the week. (See rule: Tables for the full explanation). Players can currently play Slots (solo) or War (against another player) in the #Tables channel. War can be a good way to settle disputes between players in the same way a coin flip could be used, and Slots is a good way to test your luck.

=== Bartering Phase ===

During the bartering phase players reveal the unhashed text of any bids and hands they submitted (See the Secret Actions sections for more info on that). Players also barter amongst each other to try to get the edge in the upcoming weeks by buying/selling cards (or occasionally other items).

Players also barter amongst each other to try to get the edge in the upcoming weeks by buying/selling cards (or occasionally other items). The bartering phase can also be a great time to spend any extra chips you have lying around either through gambling or trades with other players, since having a high amount of chips can impact your wealth.

== Weekly Income ==

In an effort to make sure that idle accumulation of chips and huge blanket bets is not an optimal strategy (as its an incentive to not participate), the income players gain decreases as their wealth goes up. At the ~~time being, this results in a soft cap~~ of ~~700 chips for the weekly income. ''~~(~~In most cases~~, wealth ~~is equal to a players chip count, but can also be impacted by the player being in contracts that have chips)''~~

In an effort to make sure that idle accumulation of chips and huge blanket bets is not an optimal strategy (as its an incentive to not participate), the income players gain decreases as their wealth goes up. Wealth is increased by the amount of Trungs (secondary currency) and Chips (primary currency), which gives players an incentive to find ways to spend or manage their wealth instead of hoarding it.

The number of chips a player gets at the start of the auction phase goes down by 5 for every 20 wealth they have above 300. Players who have less than 320 will gain a full 100 chips every week. The table below is a quick way to see how many chips you'll gain at the start of the auction phase based on your current wealth.
