URGENT Fixes + Future-Proof Innovation: Liquidity, AI Coaching, & Crypto Integration

This document outlines key feature implementations that will immediately increase liquidity, retain high-volume players, and differentiate Phenom as the most modern poker platform.

I. Critical Fixes: Player Retention & Quality of Life

(These fix problems currently driving away serious players.)

1. Deep Stack Cash Games (250BB):

• Introduce dedicated "Phenom Deep" tables with 250BB max buy-in and auto-rebuy to max. (Retains pro traffic and generates high rake.)

2. Card Visibility / 4-Color Deck:

• Mandatory high-contrast 4-color deck option. Fix the poor contrast/blending issue (e.g., the "purple card" problem) to support multi-tabling and accessibility.

3. Waitlist Efficiency (1-Click):

• Enable 1-Click Waitlist from the lobby, which should also display key table data like Avg. Pot Size and VPIP (Site-sanctioned profiling neutralizes 3rd-party HUDs and speeds up table selection.)

II. Revenue & Growth Drivers (Proven Market Success)

(These formats and features are essential for broad market growth and financial flexibility.)

1. Instant-Action: Spin & Win:

• Integrate a high-velocity, lottery-style Spin & Win SNG format. (Essential for attracting casual new players and boosting overall revenue.)

2. Financial Flexibility (Crypto/Multi-Currency):

• Full multi-currency wallet support (USD, EUR, etc.) and complete Crypto integration for deposits, play, and instant withdrawals. (Core requirement for a modern, global platform.)

3. Private Tables & Community:

• Feature to create private, password-protected tables with custom settings. (Massive driver of social growth, community building, and player loyalty.)

III. Unique Future-Proofing Innovations

(These are industry-first features that will differentiate Phenom and generate massive buzz.)

1. The Phenom AI Coach (Exploitative Tips):

• Implement an in-game AI Assistant/Tutor that offers simple, exploitative tips based on opponent tendencies for recently played hands. (Solves the high barrier to entry for study, improves beginner confidence, and is a major value-add.)

2. Universal Accessibility (Auditory Cues):

• Offer an optional card theme with subtle, unique sound cues for critical events (e.g., a quiet ping when dealt Aces, or when a flush hits the river). (A unique accessibility feature for the visually challenged and an invaluable real-time aid for multi-tablers.)

3. The Omni-Game Waitlist (Liquidity Solution):

• A single "Active Wait for Any Game" button that lets a player join the waitlist for multiple cash game variants and stakes simultaneously. (Unique solution to low liquidity in niche games like PLO/Short Deck, ensuring players are always seated quickly.)
