3D ONLINE POKER NEARS LAUNCH AT LADBROKES
16 November 2007
Video gaming and online poker technology merges in
new offering
Online poker players at Ladbrokes will soon experience
for themselves the latest in Internet poker technology
as the website gears up for the launch of the company's
latest 3D virtual reality poker this week (see previous
InfoPowa reports).
The new service integrates cutting edge video gaming
software with its existing poker service and means that
all Ladbrokespoker customers will have the option of
creating a custom 3-D 'Avatar' with physical
characteristics. In the poker game the 3-D avatar will
display the same human-like movements that have been
developed for state of the art video games.
MD of Ladbrokes eGaming John O'Reilly comments: "This is
a major step in the convergence of video gaming
technology and online gaming and we're pleased to be the
first leading poker site to go 'virtual'"
Ladbrokes customers can still play on any table, but
they will have the option of playing in 3-D should they
choose to. The service further enhances the online poker
experience by enabling players to talk to each other
using VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) as well as
existing text chat.
The new Ladbrokes site has been developed in conjunction
with Playwize plc, a UK developer of video games for
consoles such as XBOX, PS2 and Nintendo GameCube.
Players have the opportunity to develop their skills by
using interactive tutorials and by playing in practice
mode with advice and tips from online poker experts.
O'Reilly says that the key priority has been to ensure
the 3-D virtual software integrates effectively with the
existing poker site to ensure the best possible delivery
for new 3D players. "This means 3-D players will have
access to all the same tournaments and cash games as
existing players", he said.
