ZONE4PLAY LAUNCHES FIRST CROSS-PLATFORM POKER PRODUCT
Texas Hold 'Em can be made available across a range of delivery platforms, enabling mobile, iTV and Web gamblers to compete against each other.
Zone4Play, Inc. today (Tuesday) launched the world's first cross platform multi-player poker solution as an technology-based answer to the worldwide Texas Hold'em poker demand.
Worldwide poker-playing communities are now estimated at nearly 100 million people and growing, and this spurred Zone4Play to leverage its unique cross-platform gaming technology in order to launch the services that reach across interactive TV (iTV), Internet and mobile delivery platforms over the coming months.
The amount gambled on poker websites around the world in 2005 is estimated to exceed US$ 60 billion, with commission revenues around US$ 3 billion or approximately 60 percent of the Las Vegas strip revenues, the company claimed.
The first ever iTV multi-player Texas Hold'em poker will be available on Sky's iTV system in the UK and accessible from more than five different channels, including Avago, The Poker Channel (sponsored by Party Poker), Channel Five and other major broadcasters. The solution will be initially launched on a play for fun mode, ultimately being replaced by a real gaming solution, depending on legislation changes in the UK.
Other iTV deployments to be launched later this year include one of the largest cable operators in the US and the largest hospitality provider in the world.
Zone4Play claims that its multi-player Texas Hold'em Poker is the first and only poker game available for iTV. The company has managed to overcome major technological barriers in order to present the market with a swift and easy to use product.
On the Internet where Texas Hold'em poker is recognised as being the hottest product, Commonwealth Telephone Enterprises, Inc., is set to launch an online version of the multi-player Texas Hold'em poker game in the third quarter of this year.
Additional to the iTV and Internet deployments, Zone4Play is currently developing a mobile version of the multi-player Texas Hold'em poker for one of UK's leading bookmakers. The Mobile MP Texas Hold'em Poker will be introduced to the market later on this year and will enable play for real and play for fun versions of the popular game.
Zone4Play hosts the game on a unique hosting environment platform, allowing competition between players who use Mobile, iTV and the web.
