POKER’S IN THE CARDS: Texas Hold'em Will Be A Day-One Experience On Otherside This June

You gotta know when to hold ’em and know when to fold ’em.

On Wednesday, Yuga Labs dealt the community a teaser for its highly anticipated poker game on the Otherside, featuring a 3D-modeled Curtis with cards in his right hand and a smoke in his left, degenerately gambling with his frens around the swamp!

“Otherside Poker, powered by the ODK,” Yuga Labs tweeted from its Otherside account.

 

 

After the tweet, Yuga Labs CEO Garga took to the Otherside Discord and reiterated that poker will be one of the day-one experiences available to everyone once the Otherside’s persistent metaverse opens in June 2025.

“June is about persistent state, ApeCoin/ApeChain transactions for tipping, vending machines, token-gating, etc., major islands (Nexus, Meetropolis, The Swamp), features like Poker, Bubbles, and a couple new ones, and ODK experiences (like Bathroom Blitz).”

 

As the Bored Ape Gazette previously reported, the Web3 world was invited to Otherside back in August 2024 to play some poker and watch a charity game where Captain Trippy won $45,000 USD for Made By Apes charity By Autistic, besting Garga, Gordon Goner, Tomato, Figge, Adam Weitsman, OSF, MachiBigBrother, and PP Man!

 

 

The Bored Ape Gazette will continue to follow all things Otherside and will let you know what’s in the cards for the metaverse as we get closer to its summer launch. Stay tuned for updates!
