• Abstract: PokerKit is an open-source Python library designed to overcome the restrictions of existing poker game simulation and hand evaluation tools, which typically support only a handful of poker variants and lack flexibility in game state control. In contrast, PokerKit significantly expands this scope by supporting an extensive array of poker variants and it provides a flexible architecture for users to define their custom games. This paper details the design and implementation of PokerKit, including its intuitive programmatic API, multi-variant game support, and a unified hand evaluation suite across different hand types. The flexibility of PokerKit allows for applications in diverse areas, such as poker AI development, tool creation, and online poker casino implementation. PokerKit's reliability has been established through static type checking, extensive doctests, and unit tests, achieving 99% code coverage. The introduction of PokerKit represents a significant contribution to the field of computer poker, fostering future research and advanced AI development for a wide variety of poker games.

  The IDGE project aims to democratize game development by enabling a large language model to follow free-form game descriptions and generate game-play processes. We train the IDGE in a curriculum manner that progressively increases its exposure to complex scenarios. Our initial progress lies in developing an IDGE for Poker, which not only supports a wide range of poker variants but also allows for highly individualized new poker games through natural language inputs.

We propose the PHH format which provides a concise human-readable machine-friendly representation of hand history. In the supplementary, we provide 10,088 hands covering 11 different variants in the PHH format.

  Existing multi-camera solutions for automatic scorekeeping in steel-tip darts are very expensive and thus inaccessible to most players. We present a new approach to keypoint detection and apply it to predict dart scores from a single image taken from any camera angle. We develop a deep convolutional neural network around this idea and use it to predict dart locations and dartboard calibration points.
