Dan has sent Kaboom, his pet gopher, into the caves to find the best place to start, but he hasn’t returned.

Ante Up: Texas Hold’em makes poker fun portable with realistic mechanics and a compelling story to keep you stimulated and playing for hours. The game is graphically superb, and the players are realistic portrayals of uncanny casino characters.

Best of all, the game is based on the authenticity of poker and the algorithms that produce a natural falling of the cards.
