Poker Ladies is a puzzle game released in 1989 for the Arcade Machine. The gameplay revolves around a card-based puzzle system where players aim to form winning poker hands by strategically selecting and arranging cards on the screen. The main objective is to clear levels by creating valid poker combinations before time runs out or moves are exhausted.
The pace of Poker Ladies is moderately brisk, requiring players to think quickly while managing limited opportunities to rearrange cards. A unique mechanic in this game is the integration of traditional poker rules into a puzzle format, blending card strategy with spatial reasoning. This creates an unusual idea of combining gambling elements with puzzle gameplay, which was uncommon for arcade titles of the late 1980s.
Distinctive features include its focus on poker hands as the core gameplay element and the arcade presentation style. Poker Ladies stands out for its clever fusion of card games and puzzles, offering a different experience compared to typical arcade action or fighting games of its era.
