Pacific Poker's enhanced software version presents a new poker experience to players, with three great Table Views: Classic View, Avatar View, a 3D round table with avatars, first person view options, a variety of table backgrounds and more features and the Clear View, a 3D table without avatars that features a clear background.
An All-In move is the most effective way to shake your opponents, but it can be very costly if it is made by mistake. This is why one of the most important new features of the new poker software is the Hide/Verify All-In Action option.
The new option allows players to hide the All-In button to avoid clicking it by mistake while still being able to go All-In by moving the bet slider to the maximum bet. Players can instead choose to use the "Approve all-in action" which requires confirmation on this move.
888.com's Marketing Director, Matt Robinson, said that Pacific Poker modelled the new version of its poker software according to the players' requirements.
"Our new software is the next step in Pacific Poker's evolution," said Robinson. "It is inspired by the way our players like to play the game and we made it our priority to provide them with a gaming platform that would upgrade their poker experience."
