Endless Mode

Play beyond Ante 8 in an infinite sequence that ends only when you fail a round.

Endless Mode allows players to continue playing after completing Ante 8, which is normally the end of a standard run. In this mode, the game continues indefinitely until the player runs out of hands or cards without reaching the target score.

Quick Facts

Type: Game Mode
Key mechanic: No final blind limit until Ante 39

Lore & Background

In Endless Mode, players can continue after beating the first Showdown Blind. However, if they run out of hands or cards before hitting the required score during any subsequent round, the run ends. The game includes a technical limit: at Ante 39, the required chip count overflows to infinity (stored as NaN), making further progression impossible because scores can never be evaluated as greater than NaN.

To enter Endless Mode, complete Ante 8 by defeating the first Showdown Blind. You can then continue playing rounds beyond this point. Be aware that at Ante 39, the chip requirement overflows to infinity (NaN), preventing any further progression as no score can equal or exceed NaN.
