What is Slow Roll in Poker?

« View All Poker Terms

A slow roll is when a player delays showing a winning hand at showdown or delays calling a bet/raise with a very strong hand before showdown.

The goal of a slow roll in poker is to make the opponent think they are about to win when they really aren’t. This is often seen as poor etiquette. “He slow rolled for several minutes before showing a royal flush.”
