WPT Poker Site Re-Launched
WPT online poker had originally intended to develop their own proprietary software, but in April of 2007, struck a deal with Cryptologic instead. Known for their smooth, fully functional platform, Cryptologic software
powers some of the most popular and intensely successful Internet gaming sites around the world.
Along with the revamped web site, WorldPokerTour.com players will find a good selection of poker games like Texas Hold'Em, Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven Card Stud and Hold'Em Blackjack. Ring games and tournaments are continuously
running, and of course satellite tournaments awarding entry to the WPT.
As a part of the Cryptologic network, players will be able to face off with thousands of opponents from around the world. The new interface offers personalization of avatars, multi-currency play, in-depth live statistics and a detailed hand history feature.
"The launch of WorldPokerTour.com allows us to strengthen our brand with the unveiling of a comprehensive and robust online gaming platform," said Steve Lipscomb, chief executive of WPT. "Our strategic partnership with
Cryptologic offers our users a stable, secure and proven platform while the flexible infrastructure can meet the demands of our growing business."
