ONLINE POKER HEAD HUNTING FROM CRYPTOLOGIC
New Internet tournament concept
Online poker software developer CryptoLogic Limited played another 'ace' this week with an Internet poker industry first - a 'headhunter' tournament software concept in which players win cash for every player they eliminate. The company also unveiled new features that allow players to learn and improve by reviewing key hands and identifying the turning point in every big match.
"CryptoLogic continues to blaze the Internet poker trail with software that gives players more entertainment, more information and more innovation" said Javaid Aziz, CryptoLogic's President and CEO. "The Headhunter Challenge tournament is an industry first and should be a major marketing draw for our customers. And with CryptoLogic's new Tournament Key Hands Review tool, we're giving players more tools than ever to improve their games - and their entertainment experience."
The Headhunter Challenge is a new type of multi-table poker tournament that allows players to earn cash for every 'head' they eliminate, plus any share they win of the overall prize pool. Skilled players should be careful, though, because the value of each player's 'head' increases with everyone they eliminate, so the best players will be big targets.
Another new variant in CryptoLogic's tournament line-up is the Bounty Tournament, which adds a cash bounty to the 'heads' of big-name entrants such as celebrities, professional poker players and leaderboard winners. In Bounty Tournaments, knocking out a big name will bring cash over and above the normal fame and bragging rights.
CryptoLogic is launching a new site at Head Hunter Challenge.com to coincide with the new tournament format. This site will feature a game description, high-resolution screenshots, a step-by-step guide and links to CryptoLogic licensees where the game can be played.
The company has also launched a new information tool in its Tournament Key Hands Review, a player aid that provides a recap of every hand in which a player wins or loses 33 percent of their chips. Players can quickly analyse the strength of the hands they lost, identify the turning point of the match, and see where they played well or gave someone a really Bad Beat.
