ICONIC21’s Gravity Poker Bolts 1,000x Wins Onto Hold’em

Live casino supplier ICONIC21 has pulled its signature multiplier engine across to the poker table. Gravity Poker, the newest addition to the developer’s Gravity Series, keeps the familiar shape of Texas Hold’em but drops in two side bets and a headline multiplier that can turn a single winning hand into a 1,000x payout.

What’s been released

ICONIC21 has announced the latest release in its Gravity game series with the launch of Gravity Poker, which mixes casino Texas Hold’em with side bets and random win multipliers.
The title is
now available to operator partners, joining the company’s portfolio of live casino products and Gravity Series
, with ICONIC21 pitching it as a bridge between traditional poker fans and players who want faster, more jackpot-driven sessions.

It is the latest live table to carry the Gravity branding, following Gravity Roulette and Gravity Blackjack, both of which already apply randomised multipliers to side bets rather than the main wager. ICONIC21’s Chief Product Officer, Edvardas Sadovskis,
described the launch as a natural progression of the Gravity Series, which is built around keeping dynamic multipliers active in every round, adding that the series has already proven its appeal across multiple formats and now brings that multiplier-driven experience to one of the world’s most recognisable card games.

How it plays

Gravity Poker is a head-to-head format rather than a multiplayer table.
The game pits players directly against the dealer rather than one another, with each participant receiving two hole cards and aiming to build the strongest five-card poker hand using five community cards and two hole cards.

After the flop is dealt, players choose either to continue with a Call bet or fold, creating a straightforward decision point while retaining the strategic appeal of poker.

Sitting alongside the main hand are two optional side bets.
AA+ and The Pocket are settled independently of the main game: AA+ rewards players based on the strength of their Hole and Flop cards, while The Pocket focuses solely on the first two hole cards, offering payouts for combinations including pairs, blackjack and other qualifying hands.
That means a strong starting hand can pay out before the turn and river even land.

The multiplier mechanic is where the big numbers come in.
Before each round, a qualifying side-bet outcome is selected and assigned a multiplier ranging from 10x to 1,000x, and players holding the highlighted winning combination receive the boosted payout if that outcome wins in the game, creating the possibility of significant returns from a single hand.
Crucially, the multiplier is attached to one specific combination per round rather than applying broadly, so most winning hands still settle at standard side-bet odds. According to reporting on the launch, the base game runs at an optimal RTP of around 97.41%, which covers everything bar the two side bets themselves.

Where it fits

Gravity Poker extends a format UK live-casino fans already know from suppliers such as Evolution, which has built a sizeable audience around dealer-versus-player Hold’em tables with their own bonus structures. What ICONIC21 is doing differently is leaning harder into the crash-game style of a single, randomly assigned top-tier multiplier rather than a fixed paytable, borrowing a mechanic that has become common on its roulette and blackjack Gravity tables and applying it to poker’s hole-card drama.

For operators, the appeal is adding variance to a genre that can otherwise feel slow-paced next to slots or game shows, giving players a reason to watch every flop even after folding the main hand. As the title rolls out to ICONIC21’s partner casinos, it joins a growing cluster of multiplier-enhanced table games competing for space in live lobbies alongside the bigger studio brands.
