Cash Games & Tournaments Open
Real skill, real opponents, real PKR winnings. Games 789 brings a full poker room to Pakistani players — cash games, Sit & Gos, multi-table tournaments, and live dealer poker, all running 24 hours a day.
From the most popular game in the world to specialist formats — something for every type of player
Two hole cards and five community cards. Bet any amount at any time. The most played poker format at Games 789 by a significant margin — from micro-stakes beginners to experienced high rollers, everyone plays Hold'em.
Four hole cards, but you must use exactly two of them. Pot-limit betting keeps pots growing fast. PLO is the action game of choice for experienced poker players at Games 789 who find Hold'em too predictable at lower stakes.
Three down, four up, one winner. Seven-Card Stud requires a different kind of reading skill — tracking opponents' exposed cards across multiple streets. A classic format that Games 789 has added for players who enjoy traditional poker forms.
Play against a live dealer rather than other players. Simpler hand decisions, fixed ante structure, and a bonus bet for premium hands. Perfect entry point for Pakistani players new to poker — no bluffing required, just card strength.
Fixed buy-in tournaments that start as soon as a full table registers. No waiting for a scheduled start time. Games 789 runs 9-player and 18-player Sit & Go tables continuously with buy-ins from Rs 500 to Rs 50,000.
Scheduled MTTs at Games 789 run daily and weekly with prize pools reaching Rs 5,00,000 in the flagship Sunday Majors event. Satellite qualifiers let you win your seat for as little as Rs 200 in PKR — no need to pay full buy-in directly.

Practical advice from experienced players at Games 789 — useful whether you're just starting out or looking to sharpen your game
The earlier you act in a betting round, the less information you have. From the first two or three seats at a 9-handed table, stick to your strongest hands — high pairs and broadway cards.
The dealer button is the most powerful seat in poker. Acting last on every street gives you information your opponents don't have. At Games 789, use late position to open more hands and steal more blinds.
Bluffing is part of poker but newer players tend to do it too often. At micro and low-stakes tables at Games 789, players call more frequently — value-bet your strong hands rather than bluffing into calling stations.
A common rule for cash games is to have at least 20–25 buy-ins for your chosen stake. Playing within your bankroll at Games 789 means short-term variance won't force you to move down stakes unexpectedly.
If you need to call Rs 500 into a Rs 2,000 pot, you're getting 4:1 odds. Compare that to your chance of completing your draw. If your equity beats the price, calling is mathematically correct.
Even when you're not in a hand, watch how other players bet. Are they aggressive only with strong hands? Do they chase draws? This information is free and incredibly valuable at Games 789 tables.
Tournaments have a lot of variance — you can play well and still bust early. If you're new to poker at Games 789, cash games are more forgiving and let you develop your reading skills without going deep into a tournament structure.
Everyone runs bad sometimes. When you feel yourself making emotional decisions after a bad beat, the best play is to leave the table. Games 789 has session time limits in your account settings to help you manage this.
There's something fundamentally different about poker compared to every other game in an online gaming platform. In slots, roulette, or crash games, the house always has an edge and there's nothing you can do about it in the long run. Poker is completely different — you play against other players, not against the house, and skill genuinely determines who wins over time. That distinction matters a great deal to a certain kind of player, and it's why the poker room at Games 789 attracts a consistently engaged and competitive community of Pakistani players.
Texas Hold'em is the obvious starting point. It's the game most people have seen on television, most people have a vague understanding of, and most beginners feel comfortable learning first. The Games 789 Hold'em tables range from micro-stakes cash games — where you can sit down with Rs 200 and learn the mechanics without serious financial risk — all the way up to high-stakes rooms where experienced players compete for substantial PKR pots. The progression is deliberate: there's a clear ladder from learning to competing to winning seriously.
Pot-Limit Omaha is where the more experienced poker community at Games 789 tends to concentrate. The four-hole-card format creates enormous hand equity swings and much bigger pots on average than Hold'em. Players who've ground through thousands of Hold'em hands and want more action, more complex decisions, and larger swings naturally gravitate toward PLO. Games 789 offers both Hi and Hi-Lo variants, with deep-stack configurations that reward technical players.
The tournament schedule at Games 789 is one of the aspects Pakistani players talk about most positively. The Sunday Majors event with a Rs 5,00,000 guaranteed prize pool has become the flagship weekly event — a proper tournament that attracts serious players from across Pakistan. But the access point is the key innovation: the Sunday Satellite runs every week with a Rs 200 buy-in, and winning players earn a direct seat into the Majors. This means you don't need to come up with Rs 5,000 outright — skill at a Rs 200 table can get you there, which is exactly the kind of meritocratic opportunity that poker players appreciate.
Casino Hold'em in the live dealer section at Games 789 serves a different audience — players who want the atmosphere and experience of poker without the complexity of playing against other humans. You bet against the dealer, the decisions are simpler, and the Royal Flush bonus bet adds an exciting jackpot dimension to what is otherwise a straightforward player-versus-house format. For players who want to move from slots into something with a bit more strategy without committing to learning full multi-player poker, Casino Hold'em is the natural bridge.
Deposits and withdrawals for the Games 789 poker room work identically to the rest of the platform. Load PKR via Easypaisa, JazzCash, NayaPay, SadaPay, bank transfer, or Visa/Mastercard, and your balance is immediately available across every table and tournament. Withdrawals go back through the same channels, and poker winnings carry no special processing delays. The platform treats poker as a first-class product — not an afterthought bolted on to a sportsbook.
