Software and extra features
The Poker software was recently updated, renovating the lobby, but pleasantly unfortunately
neglecting the gaming tables, which are rather bare. The software, however, is very fast and
reliable and supports up to four tables simultaneously in play.
Party Poker ordered, in fact, all the action buttons in a single area, and players can choose to
use color-coded buttons. Additionally, the client has a cursor for the best point and has
introduced new features to make the purchase of chips as simple as possible.
A special feature that allows you to stand out at Poker competition is the function of Deal
Making. It can be used at the final table of a tournament and is completely optional. All
players can agree on the division of the prize, finishing the tournament and dividing the
money as they wish.
Before negotiations can begin, all players must agree to discuss the agreement, but without
the obligation of having to accept later. Any player may refuse to conclude the agreement and
to complete the tournament normally.
Player traffic and competition
Poker has particularly felt the blow dealt by the new law that prohibits American players to
attend the online poker room. The location of the site with the highest number of users is now
severely threatened by names like Poker Stars and Full Tilt, which continue to accept U.S.
players.
Poker is now focusing on Western Europe and Scandinavia, as well as emerging markets like
South America and the Far East. The number of players in these areas has grown
dramatically since the entry into force of this Law and Poker has increased the promotional
activities in these areas. Currently, during rush hour, the average number of active users is
7000 cash tables and 40,000 players in tournaments.
Since the entry into force of the new law, has become much easier to play at Poker than in the
past. If the first to register for a Sit & Go competition was fierce, now participate in any
tournament is very simple. There is no trace of the old struggle to fill a vacancy, but this led
to an inevitable loss of enthusiasm on the site.
