Every half hour at the $5/5 tables, an Oreo fidget spinner is placed in front of each player. The poker game then plays out under the normal rules of the table.
Win a hand and reveal your hole cards, and you've earned the right to remove your Oreo from the table. If you win but forget to show your cards, your Oreo stays put.
If anyone reminds the winning player to table their cards, the person who issued the reminder loses the game.
The losing player pays the other players for the half hour of time (i.e. $8 per player, or $72 if nine-handed).
Once you begin the Oreo Game, you’re in for the duration. If you leave early because you bust and don’t want to rebuy, or because you’re worried about missing a minute of RuPaul's Drag Race, them’s the breaks. You lose and pay the penalty.
The dealer only runs it once.
Oreos stay put if the result of a hand is a chopped pot.
If two or more players are still holding Oreos when the half hour ends, the remaining players collectively pay the penalty.
Once the Oreo Game is complete, normal poker play resumes until the next half hour mark (i.e. the next dealer change), at which point a new Oreo Game begins.
If you lose the Oreo Game and refuse to pay the penalty, that's your prerogative, but you'll be blacklisted from this game and everyone will hate you until you die.

❤️♠️♦️♣️
Every half hour at the $2/3 tables (i.e. every dealer change), the players play a bomb pot, after which normal play resumes.
Bomb pots are where each player puts a set amount of money in the pot before the hand is dealt. The preflop betting round is skipped and all players immediately see the flop and normal play begins.
The default bomb pot format will be a Single-Board No-Limit Hold'em. Before each bomb pot, however, the table may take a vote to shift the bomb pot format to Double-Board Pot-Limit Omaha only if the majority of players approve.
