Learn how Strip Poker works: drawing cards, hand rankings, betting, difficulty levels, 32- or 52-card decks, and practical playing tips.
Important information about the game
The game is based on classic draw poker and uses either a 32-card deck (sevens through aces, without jokers) or a 52-card deck (twos through aces, without jokers). Suits have equal value. You can find the detailed rules below.
The aim is to completely undress the woman on the screen. When she runs out of virtual money, she wagers her clothes one item at a time and removes an item whenever she loses. After completing a stage, you can replay all previously unlocked strip scenes.
As you progress, icons on the left side of the screen unlock several requests. The available surprises depend on the opponent’s personality. You can also buy her a drink to distract her and perhaps catch a glimpse of some of her cards. Drinks consume virtual resources, however, and the opponent may not always accept one.
Opponents also try to distract you by flirting, reacting to the game, or throwing cards. Each has a distinct temperament that affects how difficult she is to beat.
If you leave the game, you can resume from the same stage the next time you play. Automatic stage saving is available from the second stage onward. You can also use secret cheat codes to view the opponent’s cards or replace your own. Cheats make the game considerably easier, so we recommend using them sparingly. See the cheat-code guide for details.
Each time you completely undress an opponent, you earn a trophy that lets you begin a future game at a later stage. Select one of the trophy icons around the play button to choose your starting stage. Collecting every trophy lets you start at any stage or watch every unlocked strip scene without playing through the game again.
Important: pausing and resuming a stage, as well as earning progress trophies, is available only for fully activated characters purchased or unlocked with a product code. These features are unavailable for characters played without activation.
Other game features:
- Double-click the screen to hide the controls and view the video without an overlay. Click once to restore the controls.
- To open the cheat-code window, click the upper part of the screen five times during a game. A valid code lets you view the opponent’s cards or replace your own after the draw. The code remains saved until it expires, usually in the following month.
Difficulty levels
A good choice for beginners. The opponent plays boldly and can sometimes be unpredictable, but she makes more mistakes and may take excessive risks when managing her bankroll. The gameplay is fast-paced, and the game may also help the player by increasing their chances of being dealt better cards.
The classic version of the game, featuring an opponent with a more traditional playing style. She makes decisions according to clear, partly predictable patterns while maintaining a sensible balance between risk and caution. The pace of the game and the stakes remain moderate.
The most difficult version, intended for experienced players. The opponent assesses risk more carefully, protects her bankroll better, makes effective use of strong cards, and chooses which cards to exchange based on their expected value. The higher buy-in adds further financial pressure.
In this mode, you also cannot get the opponent drunk — we play sober. :)
Good to know
- First and foremost, this is just for fun — the game does not use real money and is not gambling.
- In no mode does the opponent receive better cards or any other hidden advantages. In Easy mode, only the player may receive a small amount of assistance.
- Each opponent has her own playing style, so her behavior may differ even at the same difficulty level.
A deck of 32 or 52 cards?
Fast-paced gameplay
Playing with a 32-card deck is faster and more dynamic — pairs, straights, and stronger hands appear more often, so deals tend to be more evenly matched and exciting.
Classic gameplay
A 52-card deck offers more traditional, calmer gameplay, where you must rely more often on a high card, a single pair, or a bluff.
How a typical game works
Both players begin with the same amount of virtual money. Before every deal, each player automatically contributes $5 to the pot as an ante. Five cards are then dealt to each player.
1. First betting round
The first betting round takes place before the draw. Depending on the opponent’s action, you can:
- BET to open the betting with an amount of your choice;
- STAY to wait and let the opponent open the betting;
- RAISE to match the current bet and increase it;
- DRAW to match the current bet, if necessary, and proceed to the draw;
- I FOLD to concede the deal and lose the money already paid into the pot.
2. Drawing cards
Select the cards you want to replace, then press DRAW. The selected cards are discarded and replaced with new ones.
3. Second betting round
After the draw, another betting round begins. You can bet, raise, call the opponent’s bet, or fold. When a player calls, both hands are revealed and compared.
4. Showdown and the next deal
The higher-ranking poker hand wins the pot. If both players have the same type of hand, the ranks of the cards forming that hand are compared first, followed by the remaining cards from highest to lowest. If every relevant card is equal, the deal is a tie, the pot remains in place, and a new deal begins.
Poker hands
- High card: no other combination; the highest card determines the hand’s value.
- One pair: two cards of the same rank.
- Two pair: two different pairs.
- Three of a kind: three cards of the same rank.
- Straight: five cards in sequence, not all of the same suit. In a 52-card deck, an ace may also count as low in A–2–3–4–5.
- Flush: five cards of the same suit that are not in sequence.
- Full house: three cards of one rank and two cards of another rank.
- Four of a kind: four cards of the same rank.
- Straight flush: five cards in sequence and of the same suit.
The order of a flush and a full house depends on the selected deck: a full house is stronger with 52 cards, while a flush is stronger with 32 cards.
When the opponent no longer has enough virtual money, she wagers an item of clothing and removes it if she loses. If she later wins enough money, she can buy back previously lost clothes and put them on again. The objective is to completely undress her.
