The rumours were true after all - famous poker site announces its new
destination
Speculation and rumour on where the famous Doyles Room.com online poker venue would relocate following the pull-out from the US of Tribeca-Tain-Playtech network came to an end this week with the announcement that the popular site has joined the expanding Microgaming Poker Network.
The move will allow Doyle's Room to expand into European markets and is seen as evidence of the continued success of the rapidly growing
Microgaming network, which now has over 40 sites operating.
Doyle's Room launched in 2004 and since that time has established itself as one of the world's most popular online poker sites. In addition to offering one of the largest tournament selections in the industry, Doyle's also draws players to its extremely popular Bounty tournaments, a series of weekly events in which players vie to win prizes by knocking out the bounty players.
A spokesman said that players looking to sign up can expect to meet and play the likes of Mike Caro, Todd Brunson and the great poker legend Doyle "Texas Dolly" Brunson himself, as well as a host of other professional and celebrity faces.
Doyle Brunson is one of the world's most celebrated poker players,
accumulating a record ten World Series of Poker bracelets and winning back to back world championships during his career. He is widely acknowledged to be the game's most recognisable face and he still plays at the highest limits in the biggest games in the world.
The move to the Microgaming Poker Network will provide Doyle's Room with greater liquidity and access to one of the most aggressive tournament schedules on the web, offering players the chance to enter a wealth of satellites to some of the world's biggest offline tournaments. In the last week of February alone $400 000 worth of buy-ins were won on the network.
Roger Raatgever, CEO Microgaming says, "It doesn't get much bigger than this - signing up the 'king' of poker to the Microgaming Poker Network, so as you can imagine how we view this as a real coup. The Microgaming Poker Network has been enjoying a period of exceptional growth and deals like this only point to this trend continuing."
A spokesperson for Doyle's Room said, "We are delighted to be joining the Microgaming network. We reviewed many software providers in our search for a better gaming experience for our players and Microgaming met all of our requirements in terms of liquidity, tournaments and player features. We look forward to a long and successful partnership with them"
