I can't read the Chinese or evaluate the sources. But they look plausible. Does the nom have more information about those sources? Hobit (talk) 17:09, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or merge to poker (under variants). I try to have some humility around non-American games, and it's possible this really is a phenomenon. But much of the article is about detailed rules and game guide style information, which is something that wikipedia is not. Jontesta (talk) 19:37, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.
