The World Poker Tour has announced the launch of a new app titled PlayWPT, which the company hopes will enable it to open up new market opportunities. The app features both poker and progressive slot action branded Time Slots.
PlayWPT is a free-to-play social casino platform with support for desktop and Facebook, and plans for a mobile app coming before the end of the year. The free-play element can be topped up by buying additional chips with real money.
WPT will be competing with established companies like WSOP and Zynga in the space.

Infopowa news was a staple of Casinomeister’s news from 2000 until 2019. Brian Cullingworth was the main writer, contributor, and was one of the most knowledgeable persons I have ever known involved in the online casino industry.
We first met in January 2001 at the ICE in London where I observed him going booth to booth interviewing online casino, software, and licensing jurisdiction representatives. Brian was also heavily involved with our forum as “Jetset“, he was involved as an informal consultant to eCOGRA, the OPA, and was a player advocate who assisted countless aggrieved players with his connections to industry folks. He also published “Casino Cautions” via Infopowa news for quite a number of years. These can be found in our news archives.
His passing in February 2019 was a dark day for us. He will be forever missed.
