How It Works

Smarter Than It Looks

1

Deal

NFC-tagged cards are detected the moment they hit the mat. The system knows every hole card and community card instantly.

2

Play

RFID chips are tracked in real time. LED indicators show whose turn it is, pot size updates live, and the app follows every action.

3

Relive

After the session, get full hand histories, highlight reels of your biggest pots, and player stats — all generated automatically.

The mat uses 13.56 MHz RFID and NFC antenna arrays embedded beneath the playing surface. Each card and chip has a unique tag that's read automatically when placed in the designated zones. No cameras, no computer vision — just proven radio frequency technology used in professional broadcasts like the WSOP.

Yes. The mat rolls out flat on any table surface — dining table, folding table, dedicated poker table. No permanent installation required. Non-slip rubber base keeps it locked in place.

Up to 8 players, with dedicated card and chip zones for each position, plus a community card area and dealer/muck zone.

Yes. Professional RFID poker systems from companies like PokerGFX power the broadcasts you see on TV for the WSOP and WPT. Poker Nomad uses the same core 13.56 MHz RFID technology, repackaged into a portable consumer product.

Texas Hold'em and Omaha at launch, with additional game modes (Stud, Draw variants) coming via app updates.

Absolutely. We have exciting stretch goals planned including additional chip denominations, tournament mode in the app, and multi-table support. More details when the campaign launches.

If we don't hit our funding goal, all backers are fully refunded — that's how Kickstarter works. No risk to you. But based on the interest we've already seen, we're confident we'll fund.
