Can I partially distribute the Center Pot instead of the whole amount? Yes! PartyPot supports partial pot distribution. The banker can disperse any specific amount from the Center Pot to one or more players while keeping the remainder intact for the next round. This is essential for games like In Between, Ban Luck, and poker where the pot doesn't always clear in one round.

Detailed Answer
Yes, partial pot distribution is fully supported.
How partial disperse works:
The banker can choose to distribute any amount from the Center Pot — not just the full pot. This is critical for many card games where the pot carries over between rounds.
Step-by-step:
1. The Center Pot shows the current balance (e.g., 500)
2. A player wins a round but only takes a portion (e.g., 200)
3. The banker taps "Distribute from Pot"
4. Enter the amount to disperse (200)
5. Select the winner(s)
6. The pot balance updates (300 remaining)
Games that need partial pot distribution:
Multi-winner partial split:
The banker can also split a partial amount between multiple winners. For example, distribute 300 from a 500 pot, split evenly between 2 players (150 each), with 200 remaining.
Full audit trail: Every partial distribution is logged with the exact amount, recipient(s), and timestamp. All players see the updated pot balance in real-time.
Why this matters: Many traditional card games in Malaysia and Singapore (In Between, Ban Luck, Gao Ngau) rely on partial pot mechanics. Without partial disperse, you'd have to empty and refill the pot manually — creating errors and confusion.
