Statements from 888poker
We believe that real poker is not just about winning money, but it's about the thrill, the fun, the excitement and the social poker experience.
Online poker has been traditionally focused on the "money making" element – we feel that there is no reason why online poker should not enable players to meet, socialize and play together.
It's all about opening our doors to customers that want a casual game of poker, some may play for fun and some may play for real money what we offer is a fun and exciting game of poker against people who share the same interests as you and now you can actually see and talk to them!
I'm thrilled to offer current and new customers of 888poker this innovative and fun feature.
It's been almost a year in the making and we are delighted at the result. Players can look forward to enjoying a completely new and different poker experience, by simply downloading the new 888poker software on a computer with a standard webcam. Now the greater challenge will be how to conceal the big smile when you get pocket aces!
Other software changes
- Synchronized breaks. All multi-table tournaments (MTT) will now go on break at XX:55 and the play will resume 5 minutes later. Tournaments starting between XX:50 and XY:00 (where Y = X + 1 hour) will only go on break from the next hour onwards (XY:55). The synchronized breaks also applies to Sit & Go's with 90 or more players.
- Lobby size increased. The 888poker lobby is now optimized to work on resolutions of 1024 x 768 and higher. The larger lobby now gives a better overview, as well as improving the user friendly factor.
- Block chat in DoN. The chat will now be blocked in the Double or Nothing Sit & Go's when the number of players "in the money" + X remain in the tournament. X is a parameter initially set to 2.
