In Aces Poker Run, your poker hand is built by collecting cards at each stop during an event. Depending on how the event is configured, there are three different ways you might receive your cards.
This guide helps you understand what to expect based on the method your event organizer selected.
š Where to Find Card Distribution Info
You can see the card deal method when you:
Go to Home > Select an Event
The "Dealt by:" line under the event name will show the card distribution type.
š“ Card Distribution Types
1. š² QR Code Scan
"Dealt by: QR code scan"
This is the most common and interactive method.
How It Works:
At each stop, youāll see a printed QR code poster
Tap āScan QR Code for Next Cardā in your event screen
Use your camera to scan the QR
Your card is instantly dealt into your hand
Canāt scan?
You can also enter the check-in code manually using the āEnter code to get your cardā option.
ā
Great for in-person events with good signage
š” Cards only deal once per stop, so no need to scan twice
2. ā± Scheduled Time Release
"Dealt by: Scheduled time"
Perfect for virtual or low-contact events.
How It Works:
Each stop has a set arrival time
At the scheduled time, the card for that stop is automatically dealt
No action is required from you
Youāll still see the list of stops, and cards will appear one by one in your hand as each time window passes.
ā
Great for remote or hands-off events
ā³ Cards wonāt appear early ā only after the set time
3. š GPS-Based Release
"Dealt by: GPS"
Cards are triggered when you physically arrive at a stop using your deviceās GPS.
How It Works:
The app checks your location when you arrive at a stop
If you're within the correct range, your card is automatically dealt
No need to scan or tap anything
ā
Ideal for outdoor and large-scale location-based events
š± Make sure location permissions are enabled for the Aces app
ā¹ļø If youāre attending a GPS-based event and something seems off, double-check your location settings or contact the event organizer.
š§ Tips for a Smooth Card Experience
Make sure youāre logged into your account
Refresh your event screen if you think a card didnāt deal
QR events: Scan only the stop-specific QR code (not a friendās!)
Time and GPS events: Cards are only dealt at the designated time/location
ā Still Waiting for a Card?
If you missed a stop or didnāt receive a card:
Try resyncing the event by reopening the app
Check if you have a multi-day event and are viewing the correct date
