NHN announced on the 28th that it has launched 'Rush Hold'em,' a new mode for the mobile web board game 'Hangame Poker.' This mode is characterised by adding a sense of speed to the basic Hold'em rules.

'Rush Hold'em' consists of up to six players per table, and users can fold (die) even when it's not their turn and immediately join another game. The biggest advantage highlighted is the ability to proceed to the next play quickly without waiting for other users' bets.

Special challenge events are also prepared to stimulate users' competitive spirits. When an event table (Flop Battle, Turn Battle, River Battle) occurs, users can start the game from each betting stage. Users who win according to the event stage can earn up to 200 billion in bonus chips.

To commemorate the launch of 'Rush Hold'em,' mobile 'Hangame Poker' has been running various events since the 21st. Users who have played 'Rush Hold'em' five times will immediately receive 10 million chips in game money and be automatically entered into a sweepstakes for a 1-don solid gold prize. The 1-don solid gold will be awarded to three users through a draw.

The user who participates most frequently in event tables will be selected as 'Battle King' and receive rewards. After the launch celebration event concludes, the user ranked first in event table participation per arena (based on seed money) will be awarded 50 billion chips. Additionally, for each arena, the user who secures the most bonus chips in Turn or River Battles will receive double the bonus chips acquired.

An event is also underway where users receive one lucky draw ticket for every five plays of 'Rush Hold'em.' Users can obtain up to 10 lucky draw tickets per day, which can be exchanged for 10 gems or 100 million chips. Entering the draw with these tickets offers a chance to win prizes such as an iPhone 17 Pro Max (1 winner), StandbyMe 2 (3 winners), iPad Air 11 (5 winners), Shinsegae Department Store gift certificates worth 300,000 KRW (20 winners), and Americano gifticons (200 winners). Choi Young-doo, Head of NHN's Mobile Webboard Business Group, stated, "'Rush Hold'em' is a new content that offers the fun of speedy gameplay and intense competition," and requested significant user interest.

In addition, a new event, 'Rake Race,' will be held in the 'Rush Hold'em' arenas of mobile 'Hangame Poker' in June. This event determines rankings based on accumulating points from the dealer fee (rake) generated after games. Points can be earned even when losing, and game money will be awarded to top-ranked users.
