By implementing Microgaming’s platform on Maria Poker we can ensure that the products we offer are the most innovative and captivating, and well suited to the fun and feminine ethos of our newest gaming portal.

"Maria Poker appeals to all levels of player and is particularly suitable for beginners as it features an online poker school, specifically designed to guide novice players through their initial gaming experience on Maria Poker. With quick tips, visual aids, step-by-step tutorials of the basic game plays, libraries and improvement techniques, they can soon learn how to hit their winning streak."

Microgaming’s new Flash Poker software will power the Maria Poker site, and feature an innovative no-lobby interface. All games selection is available directly from the poker table so that once the player has made a selection, they are seated within seconds.

There is currently a boom in female participation in gaming, so it is certain that Maria Poker is set to become an exciting portal in all countries.”
