Top Swedish gambling software provider Ongame has announced that
it is introducing a new name and greater gaming diversity to its global
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
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.
