Testing Lab Signs Off On P2P Console Game

The Progressive Gaming International Corporation's new World Series of Poker Texas Hold'em P2P console software has been approved by Gaming Laboratories International and the company will commence placing consoles in Harrah’s casinos soon.

Progressive Gaming has a limited exclusive license agreement with Harrah’s Licensing Company, LLC, whereby the company was granted the right to develop the World Series of Poker brand as a systems based gaming product.

The game features many of the popular features of “internet style” poker. These include the option to play multiple tables/tournaments at the same time, the ability for a player to view their account history, a summary of recently-played games, and even a statistical breakdown of their play and also include ‘cashless’ account-based wagering.

This sophisticated multi-player poker system is designed to allow patrons to compete against other players over a real time secure intranet server, allowing operators to offer an unlimited number of tables and variety of configurations and limits while tracking play and delivering promotions through their existing player rewards system.

Poker players will no longer need to be physically located at a poker table as they will be able to play World Series of Poker “Peer to Peer” Texas Hold’em at a variety of locations within a casino, including at bars, restaurants or lounges, against players located at the same site or across multiple properties.
Senior Vice President of Global Sports and Wireless Operations for Progressive Gaming, Derek Harmer, commented, “The World Series of Poker ‘Peer to Peer’ Texas Hold’em server based gaming system provides operators with the ability to generate additional gaming revenue without the need to replace existing gaming units on their casino floors.”
“The product re-creates all the excitement of an Internet poker room within the confines of a regulated casino, while its functionality allows operators to leverage available floor space that previously was not used for gaming options.”
