PartyGaming has launched it's fully integrated gaming platform that allows players to play in PartyPoker and PartyCasino from one single account. The launch was combined with a new release of the PartyPoker software, with substantial usability improvements.
In October last year PartyGaming already added Blackjack to it's poker room, a move that boosted PartyGaming's revenues to the point it is now the world largest online casino. At the time the company announced it was working on a "shared purse" concept, and this week the integration was completed and publicly launched.
The new integrated platform allows players to play poker and casino games from one single "Party" account. Players don't need to login separately anymore, nor do they need to deposit money in two different accounts.
The integration was combined with a new release of the PartyPoker software, which offers substantial usability improvements. Here's a short overview of the various improvements the new software is offering:
- Faster table access;
- Easier navigation;
- Selection filters on poker variants and status;
- More player friendly starting chip counts and prize structures in tournaments;
- Resizing and tiling of poker tables for easier multi-tabling.
PartyGaming is anticipating more upgrades this year. CEO Richard Segal commented: "We plan to enhance the Party-branded platform with more games and features later in the year, including the launch of multi-currency and multi-lingual versions of our products.”
PartyGaming furthermore expects to migrate the PartyBingo software to the new platform in March.
