Poker Chase is an authentic poker game utilizing Texas Hold ‘em rules.
The “Poker Chase Winter Offline Event 2026” was organized to provide a space for players to connect offline, expanding the poker fan community.
Throughout both days, the venue maintained an enthusiastic audience at full capacity, with intense and serious competitions unfolding across both the main and side tournaments.

Hosting the “Poker Chase Winter Offline Event 2026”
The event served as a valuable opportunity for users who normally play online to compete face-to-face, allowing a wide demographic of generations to enjoy “Poker Chase.”
In addition to hosting the “Pokache Amusement Arcade”—a collection of various mini-games and tournaments designed for all skill levels—the “POKER CHASE FES FINAL” was also held. This grand finale featured top players who had successfully advanced through prior in-game and in-store qualifiers, leading to intense showdowns that bridged the gap between online and real-world play.
Top-ranking finishers in each game were awarded exclusive “Poker Chase” in-game items, alongside chips usable at the GiGO POKER Shinjuku store.

Opening of the “Poker Chase” Original Shop
The original shop featured an extensive lineup of limited-edition “Poker Chase” merchandise, which had already garnered high acclaim during the collaboration period. The selection ranged from apparel such as T-shirts and caps to staple items like acrylic stands and playing cards. Furthermore, brand-new merchandise making its debut at this event—including custom dealer buttons and embroidered patches—was also offered for sale.
Numerous players visited the shop between their matches to purchase items available exclusively at the venue, keeping the shop corner consistently vibrant.
Sale of “Poker Chase” Original Drinks
To commemorate the event, we prepared special collaboration drinks themed after characters appearing in “Poker Chase.”
Additionally, customers who purchased a collaboration drink received a poker-chip-style coaster, while those who ordered food items were gifted a playing-card-style postcard.
Execution of the Offline Event Collaborative Mission
On the days of the event, attendees used playing cards distributed at the reception desk to call out to one another and complete a collaborative mission to form a 5-person poker hand. Those who successfully completed a hand and posted a photo on social media were rewarded with an exclusive original sticker. Card partner search had begun, and newly met participants were seen exchanging high-fives with big smiles. This led to intense, real-world interactions unique to offline events—something that received highly favorable reviews in the post-event surveys.
