Anubis City is free online poker for Nigeria: Texas Hold’em with real people, plus blackjack, roulette, bingo and slots, in a pixel-art Egyptian city that runs in the browser. You play with free coins called debens: no stake, no wallet to fund, nothing to cash out. It is a game, not a betting site.
In Nigeria the money games people talk about are sports bets, and the card game nearly everyone knows is Whot. Texas Hold’em is newer here, and a free table is the right place to learn it: you can find out what beats a flush without risking a kobo.
The game runs in a phone browser, with nothing to install. It is in English, and the city is shared with players from many countries — Lagos evenings fall in the same hours as evenings in Europe.
If poker is new to you, read the hand rankings and the rules first — about ten minutes. Then sit at the Scribes’ Table in the Temple of Fortune: blinds of 50/100 debens, a buy-in from 1,000 to 20,000, and you arrive with 100,000.
Every move has 15 seconds, the table names the winning hand at the showdown, and computer players marked “AI” fill the empty seats, so you can practise at any hour. Friends can play together at a private table opened with a six-character code. Poker in Anubis City.

Bingo is the easiest game in the city. Buy one to four cards in the Hall of Seshat and watch the 75 balls come out of the drum; in an auto hall the numbers mark themselves. The first line in any direction takes 30% of the pot and the full card takes 70%. Bingo rules.

Roulette in the Rotunda of Shai: put chips on numbers, colours or dozens, and the wheel spins for the whole table about every half minute. Hover over the cloth — or press and hold on a phone — and the table shows which numbers your bet covers and what it pays. Roulette.
Blackjack in the Hall of Thoth: get closer to 21 than the dealer without going over. Six decks, the dealer stands on 17, blackjack pays 3 to 2. Blackjack.

Three machines in the Treasury of Ra: Sevens of Ra with three reels and five lines, Book of Thoth with ten free spins, and Treasures of Horus with Hold & Win and four jackpots. Each returns about 95% of bets over a long run, and a spin costs only debens. The slots.

The ten players from Nigeria with the most experience this week. Experience comes from every hand, spin and bingo card, plus daily visits and Ra’s Boat, and each new level brings a rank named after a real title of ancient Egypt.
The weekly top is shown when at least five players from here have chosen to show their place.
Since a Supreme Court judgment of 22 November 2024, lotteries and gaming have been for each state to regulate — Lagos through its Lotteries and Gaming Authority — and the federal regulator’s reach is limited to Abuja. A federal gaming bill has been debated since without settling the matter. The state laws, like the old Criminal Code, target lotteries, betting and gaming houses — schemes and places where money or money’s worth is staked or won.
Anubis City has none of that: nothing is for sale, and debens and ankhs can’t be cashed out, sold or exchanged. In the northern states with Sharia penal codes, many players avoid gambling-style games for religious reasons, free or not, and that choice is theirs. We are not lawyers, and nothing on this page is legal advice. Only adults 18 and over may play.
Checked:
No. You never pay and never cash out. Debens and ankhs are game coins with no money value, and there is nothing to buy.
Yes, in the phone’s browser. The tables and buttons adapt to small screens.
Lagos regulates gaming through its Lotteries and Gaming Authority, and its licences are for games with stakes or prizes. Anubis City has neither.
No. Start with the hand rankings and the rules, then play at the Scribes’ Table, where the stakes are lowest.
