What is Pineapple?
Welcome to Pineapple
Pineapple is a fast-paced, variant of poker where strategy is key. Unlike traditional poker, you aren't just building one hand—you're building three.
Here is everything you need to know to master the board and ultimately reach the Fantasy Game.
🃏 The Basics
The game is played with a 54-card deck, consisting of a standard 52-card set plus two WILD cards.
WILD Cards: These are your best friends. They can substitute for any card in the deck to complete a hand.
Game Structure
A single game consists of five rounds. You will receive cards in stages and must place them into your hands immediately:
Round 1: You are dealt five cards. You must play all five.
Rounds 2–5: You are dealt three cards per round. You must play two and discard one.
By the end of the game, you will have placed a total of 13 cards.
📐 Arranging Your Hands
Your 13 cards must be organized into three distinct rows. The most important rule in Pineapple is the Hierarchy of Strength.
| Hand Position | Card Count | Strength Requirement |
| Bottom Hand | 5 Cards | Must be the strongest hand. |
| Middle Hand | 5 Cards | Must be stronger than (or equal to) the Top hand. |
| Top Hand | 3 Cards | Must be the weakest hand. |
NOTE: If your hands are not arranged in this order (e.g., if your Middle hand is stronger than your Bottom hand), you Bust. A Bust results in zero points and a total forfeit of winnings for that game.
The "Middle Hand" Bonus
Strategy pays off in the center. If you land a Full House or better in the Middle hand, your payout for that hand is doubled.
✨ The Fantasy Game
The Fantasy Game is a special bonus round where you can earn additional bonuses. You enter this mode if your Top hand is a pair of Queens (QQ) or better and you do not bust at the end of all 5 rounds.
In Fantasy, all cards are dealt at once and auto-arranged for the optimal possible strategy. The number of cards you receive depends on the strength of your Top hand:
Pair of Queens (QQ): 14 cards
Pair of Kings (KK): 15 cards
Pair of Aces (AA): 16 cards
Three of a Kind: 17 cards
Golden Cards & Multipliers
During Fantasy rounds, Golden Cards may appear.
These cards assign random multipliers to your round.
Multipliers can stack up to a maximum of 10x.
If three or more Golden Cards appear, your multiplier is guaranteed to be at least 5x.
Staying in Fantasy (Consecutive Rounds)
You can keep the momentum going! You gain an additional Fantasy round (up to a max of 30 rounds) if:
Your Top hand is Three of a Kind or better.
Your Bottom hand is Four of a Kind or better.
