2 October 2007

New lobby gets players to the right tables faster


Using the European Interactive Gaming Congress and Expo (EiG) as a launchpad, online gambling software developer Microgaming today unveiled its new online poker lobby.

The innovation is currently being rolled out across over 40 top poker rooms on the Microgaming Poker Network, with the goal of getting players to the right tables faster and easier.

Updated lobby features include a set of flexible and intuitive options that will appeal to new and experienced poker players alike. The ‘Quick lobby’ provides a speedy solution for Single Table Tournaments and there is an ‘Advanced Lobby’ which allows experienced players to see all games in the same view, enabling them to spend even more time at the table.

Other useful options within the lobby menus include ‘Rabbit cam’ and ‘Keep folded cards visible’ that helps intermediate players understand the odds better, plus ‘Fold and Show’ that allows players to show those great lay-downs

Enhanced player-defined customisation enables players to filter tables, game types and stakes, while the introduction of a new navigation bar; redesigned accounts page and a day view for the calendar have all been designed specifically to respond positively to player feedback. A new buddy system ‘My Buddies’ also enables players to select and add players to their buddy list, as well as track them.

When it comes to the tournament lobby, players are able to see Betting Structures - levels, blinds, antes, minimum required; Prizes - placed paid, percentages, total prize pool; All Players - name, place, prize, stack, table; tournament description and the Tournament Dashboard, showing player’s position, next break, levels, current level and players remaining.

Launching the new lobby, Roger Raatgever, CEO, Microgaming said, “The Microgaming Poker Network continues to go from strength to strength, both in terms of the quality of operators we power and the technology we deliver. This new poker lobby is the culmination of months of player feedback, because ultimately, it’s our operator’s players we are here to serve. There are a host of new additions and cutting edge features, providing extra value and an enhanced playing experience - we believe this poker lobby has it all.”
