Background music changes the room
A poker table is not only rules and cards. Ambient sound makes the browser feel less empty and more like a shared room.
Music should support the table mood without stealing control from the player.
UX rules
Make sound optional and visibly controllable.
Remember the player preference instead of resetting the mood every visit.
Use background music as presence, not as decoration.
Why it matters here
The game is social, so silence can make the table feel unfinished.
A calm loop helps solo BOT mode feel less like a test screen.
Sound gives the table rhythm while people wait for the next action.
