NAME CHANGE FOR INTERNET POKER NETWORK
And greater gaming diversity, too
Top Swedish gambling software provider Ongame has announced that it is
introducing a new name and greater gaming diversity to its global Internet poker
network. Formerly titled Poker Network, the operation hosts almost 4
million regular poker players, mainly under Ongame subsidiary Poker Room.com.
The network branding has been changed to Ongame Network, and with it
a new range of non-poker games has been made available, including casino games
like Craps, Roulette, Blackjack, PaiGow Poker and Video Poker Multi-Hand. Slot
machines will also be introduced offering seriously large progressive jackpots,
for example the forthcoming Sultan’s Treasure slot machine game which will
have a starting jackpot of $300,000.
Ongame Network’s director, David Flynn says, “Multi-player
casino games and Blackjack tournaments, along with high quality graphics, will
differentiate Ongame Network from the broad offering that currently exists in
this part of the industry.”
The move comes at a time when online poker market leader Party Poker
has also announced that games other than poker will be available to its network
players. In distancing Party Poker's network from that of its white label partners
this week, Party Gaming said that it planned a major new site to be launched
early next year which would present not only poker but a variety of other games
to its claimed 9 million players.
