Business Rule

When hole cards are dealt (HOLE stage), a dealing_cards sound effect plays once per card as each card launches from the shuffler. The sound is tightly synced to the card’s visual departure — it fires at the same moment the card becomes visible and begins its flight path. Community card advances (FLOP/TURN/RIVER) play a single dealing_cards sound at stage transition, plus a card_flip sound for each individual card that flips face-up.

Sound Keys

Key	Trigger	Timing
`dealing_cards`	Each hole card launched from shoe	Per-card, at launch moment
`dealing_cards`	FLOP/TURN/RIVER advance	Once per stage advance
`card_flip`	Community card flips face-up	Per-card reveal

V5 Implementation

File: source/client_source/src/js/Game/gameTypes/cardDesktop.js — _launchCard() (line 51)

_launchCard() {
  GAMEVIEW.soundController.playSoundFX('dealing_cards');  // fires per card
  // ... tween animation starts
}

The card’s stagger delay ensures each dealing_cards play is separated by ~300ms (= CARD_FLY_STEP), giving a rhythmic tap-tap-tap as cards fly out.

V6 Implementation

Sound is fired inside the delayedCall callback in _renderCards(), at the same moment the card is positioned at the shoe and the tween begins:

this.time.delayedCall((c + 1) * CARD_FLY_STEP, () => {
  this._sfx('dealing_cards');  // per-card — HEDGE-174
  sprite.setPosition(SHOE_X, SHOE_Y).setAngle(SHOE_ANGLE).setVisible(true);
  this.tweens.add({ ... });
});

_sfx() respects the cfgSfx toggle and soundLevel mute state, so the sound is suppressed when the player has muted audio.

Sound Asset

Platform	File
Desktop primary	`sounds/desktop/dealing_cards.m4a`
Desktop fallback	`sounds/desktop/dealing_cards.mp3`
Mobile	`sounds/mobile/dealing_cards.m4a`

The v6 client loads the sound file via PreloadScene under the key dealing_cards.

Acceptance Criteria

ID	Criterion
AC-F046-01	On HOLE stage deal, `dealing_cards` plays exactly once per hole card (3 hands = 6 plays)
AC-F046-02	Each play is separated by ~300ms, synced to card launch timing
AC-F046-03	Sound does NOT play when SFX is muted (`soundLevel = 0` or `cfgSfx = false`)
AC-F046-04	FLOP/TURN/RIVER advances still play one `dealing_cards` sound per stage
AC-F046-05	Community card flips still play `card_flip` per revealed card

Version Parity

Version	Status	Notes
JS (v4)	⬜ Not yet audited	Likely same pattern
TypeScript (v6)	✅ Implemented	Per-card sfx in `delayedCall`, commit `HEAD`
UMA (v5)	✅ Implemented	`_launchCard()` line 51
