New Graphic Novel Blending Poker Action and Crypto Insights

Posted on September 10, 2024 by Kelley N.

In a world where poker pros and crypto traders thrive on high stakes and strategy, there is a new project on the horizon that blends the thrill of poker with the storytelling allure of a graphic novel. If you are a lover of poker and the exciting, ever-changing world of digital currencies, then expect to love Trapped, the creation of poker pundit and stand-up comedian Joe Stapleton.

The Allure of the Story

At the heart of Trapped is Joe, a poker prodigy who’s feeling the weight of the game’s evolution. Joe, who used to be a very energetic and unpredictable player, is becoming less invested in the game as it becomes more dependent on mathematical analysis and less on reading his opponents. Does this ring a bell? It is no different from the disappointment felt by many cryptocurrency traders when confronted with algorithmic trading, which replaces intuition and gut sensations with computational accuracy and market volatility.

His life takes a turn when Joe loses his job as a poker commentator, which leaves him resentful and emotionally distant from the game. Anyone who has ever felt the grind of the daily struggle, whether they are traders or poker players, can relate to his aggravation.

All the elements that make poker and cryptocurrency so interesting—the chance to win big or lose it all—are here in this one-of-a-kind mix of action, humor, and personal story. Neil Gibson, creator of Twisted Comics, adds a contemporary and edgy spin to the story, which is sure to please even the new generation of fans.

More Than a Story

The story is deeply personal, inspired by Stapleton’s own experiences in the poker world. But it is also a rewarding experience – we would probably not include it otherwise. Anybody interested in crypto or poker may back Trapped on Kickstarter and have a say in the project’s progression. For just $10, backers can have the book in digital form, and for $20, they can get a physical copy. Pledge levels beyond the basic level unlock more exclusive benefits, such as tickets to Stapleton’s stand-up comedy performances, private poker sessions with the man, and other experiences that combine his comic and poker backgrounds.

The Trapped Kickstarter goes above and above by providing a variety of bonuses for comic book and poker fans. Fans may completely immerse themselves in the Trapped universe with branded merchandise such as playing cards, t-shirts, and sticker

CAT³ Poker Launches Innovative Meme Token for Blockchain Poker Community

Posted on July 7, 2024 by Kelley N.

By merging the excitement of poker with the advantages of blockchain technology, CAT³ Poker is about to shake up the online poker market. The platform promises to provide a one-of-a-kind and exciting experience for both players and investors alike, with a particular emphasis on openness, security, and community interaction.

Built to provide value, transparency, and engagement, the CAT³ token is the engine that drives the Cat³ Poker ecosystem. In contrast to pump-and-dump scams or meme currencies that have no practical use, provides genuine rewards and utility for all those participating.

The operations of the platform are dependent on the token, and it holds a total quantity of 21 million tokens. Early backers will have a great chance to become a part of the community and reap the rewards of the platform’s expansion when the presale begins on July 11, 2024. 5% of the entire supply will be given out as an airdrop, and there will be a continuous 1% total supply airdrop worth $50,000 at launch.

Key Features

Blockchain Security: With its strong blockchain foundation, CAT³ Poker ensures that all transactions are safe and open. The reliability and safety of all users are improved by this technical base.
Community-Driven Profit Sharing: It offers a novel profit-sharing mechanism that is driven by the community, and it distributes all revenues to token holders in full. By incorporating them into the platform, investors become partial owners and stand to gain directly from its success.
Decentralized Governance: On the platform, token holders have a say in important decisions thanks to decentralized governance. In addition to ensuring openness and democratic decision-making, this mechanism gives the community more authority.

Community Involvement

Building a strong community is a top priority for CAT³ Poker. To foster involvement and innovation among users, they want to hold contests and events regularly. An airdrop event and meme contest are being planned by CAT³ to launch this effort. All are invited to take part and earn rewards.

CubeCat, the mascot of the platform, reflects the joyful and participatory attitude of the community, which is what makes CAT3 Poker more than simply a gaming site; it is a place where people can connect and interact with themselves.

Careful planning is essential to the platform’s future as it strives to ensure ongoing innovation and improvement. To maintain its position as a leading player in the online poker business, the operator plans to implement regular improvements and implement a comprehensive worldwide growth strategy.

Vegas Infinite: Immersive Mobile Casino Adventure Now on Android

Posted on June 4, 2024 by Kelley N.

An Android version of Flutter Entertainment’s virtual reality social casino, Vegas Infinite, is now available in Google Play’s Early Access program. Hot on the heels of last year’s VR-optional PC edition, this latest release gives players even more ways to enjoy the application without a headset.

A Highly Anticipated Update

The highly anticipated release for Android smartphones is the culmination of Vegas Infinite’s recent rebranding and growth, which have catapulted it to new heights. With support for iOS and iPad soon to follow, gamers will never have to miss a moment of the excitement of high-stakes gambling.

Director of Virtual Reality and Innovation at PokerStars, James O’Reilly, was astounded by the Android version’s advancement after months of development. He stressed that the game has been remade from the ground up on Android, making it easy to play without compromising the original’s diverse and rich experience.

“Vegas Infinite stands apart for the quality of our environments, the authenticity of our games, and the participation of our community, so we had already set ourselves a very high bar.”

James O’Reilly, PokerStars Director of VR and Innovation

This is, however, just a milestone in the platform’s solid track record.

Described as a “groundbreaking virtual reality experience” by PokerStars, a Flutter subsidiary, Vegas Infinite made a splash when it launched in 2018. With a rebranding and an expansion beyond poker, last year’s upgrades elevated it to the next level, providing a more authentic metaverse gambling experience. An adaptable PC version, giving users the option to play in either the standard or VR modes, was launched not long after the rebranding. They were certainly playing the long game.

What To Expect

Full Redesign: The game’s depth and complexity have been preserved throughout the rebuilding process, which also prioritized making it easy to play on Android.
Immersive Gameplay: Players may virtually converse with others while interacting with objects, seeing cards, handling chips, and shaking and tossing dice.
Innovative Avatar System: With additional features coming shortly, players may choose from thirty different personalized character designs.
Cross-Platform Bonuses: Players receive credits for personalizing clothing and accessories, as well as a 30,000-chip welcome bonus and free chip top-ups every eight hours.
Safety Tools: Features that may be customized for each player include player reports, spending limitations, and breaks. The development of Vegas Infinite has consistently emphasized player safety. To maintain this promise, the game employs ToxMod, a live chat monitoring platform driven by artificial intelligence, in conjunction with its devoted moderation personnel. In addition, a variety of in-game safety measures are at the player’s disposal, enabling them to take breaks as required, set spending limits, report problematic conduct, and customize their degree of contact with other players.

WSOP Online Debuts Multi-State Poker Network in the United States

Posted on May 30, 2024 by Kelley N.

In an exciting announcement, Caesars Entertainment, Inc. and the World Series of Poker (WSOP) have gone live with WSOP Online, an all-new platform for real-money poker. This revolutionary project is the first of its kind to pool liquidity across three states that are now fast-rising poker havens. Specifically, it unites player pools in Michigan, Nevada, and New Jersey into a single network.

Updates to the platform include mobile support for up to four tables, more game variations (such as Omaha), and the ability to participate in multi-flight re-entry tournaments. More new features that players may anticipate include in-app gift drops and game adaptations like Mystery Bounty.

Caesars Digital’s VP of online poker, Danielle Barille, was quite complimentary of the new platform, calling it a huge win for their players. For players in all three states, the World Series of Poker (WSOP) online events will provide the year’s largest prize pools, elevating the experience and offering increased value.

Same Exciting Tournaments

The much-awaited 55th World Series of Poker began play at Horseshoe Las Vegas and Paris Las Vegas on May 28. This coincided with the debut of WSOP Online. There will be 30 online bracelet events running from June 1st to July 21st, making this year’s series the most extensive schedule to date.

There will be an official gold bracelet event every Tuesday, Saturday, and Sunday throughout the series. The events start at $333 for Triple Treys No Limit Hold’em and run all the way up to the $10,000 WSOP Online Championship on July 11. Exclusive satellites to live events will also be playable on WSOP Online, with buy-ins as little as $1.

And there is more. There are five hybrid-format high-roller events available on WSOP Online for players with large bankrolls. Participating in these tournaments will be even more exciting since the final tables will be held live at the WSOP in Las Vegas.

How to Get In On the Fun

To ensure a smooth transition to the new platform, existing players from Nevada and New Jersey were invited to complete pre-registration. A player’s existing balance, tournament tickets, and reward points would be credited to their account no later than 72 hours after the platform becomes live. The existing service was available to players until May 27th, after which they needed to reinstall the WSOP Online app.

Transferring the data is only possible if players create a new WSOP Online account before July 31. Following this date, any remaining funds will be sent to the addresses they have listed in their accounts. Still, it is an exciting development and it will be very interesting to see how it impacts other aspects of online poker.

Hawaii Considering Online Poker and Sports Betting Bill

Posted on February 9, 2024 by Kelley N.

As we go deeper into 2024, proposed legislation in Hawaii seeks to legalize online poker and sports betting, marking a major departure from the state’s traditionally rigid attitude toward gambling. Senator Ronald Kouchi, a Democrat, is the driving force behind this bill, which has the potential to bring about a sea change in a state that up until now has not had any legal casinos or card rooms.

Ambitious Plans for Revenue Sharing

If approved, the bill would pave the way for the Aloha State to welcome its first casino as well as other forms of internet gambling including poker and sports betting. A fundamental component of the plan is a revenue-sharing agreement with one casino operator, where the state’s portion gets smaller over time.

The proceeds that are produced via all of this will be designated for the wildfire fund of the state, to reduce the destructive effects of wildfires such as those that occurred in Maui in August.

The bill also seeks to establish a regulatory framework that protects Hawaii residents while collecting taxes from online gambling, since it recognizes that many locals use offshore gaming sites. Supporters of the proposal want to divert monies from offshore online sports betting and poker into public coffers, which they believe would be good for everyone in the state.

Currently, the bill does not include provisions to join the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement (MSIGA), which allows shared liquidity among poker operators in other states. However, this aspect of the bill may evolve as the legislative process progresses.

A Growing Trend

Whether Hawaii’s unique approach, coupled with its focus on wildfire relief, will garner enough support to pass the bill remains to be seen. Still, the proposed legislation in Hawaii reflects a broader trend across the United States, with other states like New York and Maryland also exploring the possibility of legalizing online poker.

The regulated US online poker market is currently dominated by operators like WSOP/888 network, BetMGM, and PokerStars, each with a significant presence across several states. Now iPoker is poised to join the fray and players in state markets like Hawaii may soon have more options. The exact timeline for iPoker’s entry remains uncertain, but there’s optimism about significant progress soon. iPoker’s potential presence in the US market could unfold through partnerships or its network by late 2024 or 2025, promising an exciting period of growth and diversification.

Exploring the Secure Side of Crypto Poker

Posted on June 4, 2023June 4, 2023 by Kelley N.

Are you a poker fanatic who just can’t resist the convenience of playing at home? Prepare yourself for a thrilling experience in the ever-changing, potentially profitable, world of online poker. The industry has seen better days, but even if it doesn’t return to its heyday, it’s still a great way to pass the time and have a lot of fun.

Yet, despite the widespread availability of online poker sites throughout the world, some weird people who are lured to money and gambling remain hidden in the shadows. We are talking about hackers, cheaters, and scammers.

There is a good reason why poker players often complain about rigged platforms, vandalized wallets, and other sorts of hacking and breaching that cause them to lose money. The increase of high-profile instances involving online poker in recent years has only served to heighten these worries.

Lots of Lessons

Consider the infamous attack of crypto poker site SatoshiDice in 2014, in which over 2,000 wagers were altered after hackers gained access to the site’s database. Lessons may be learned from this tragedy about the risks of gambling on unprotected websites.

But that’s not all: fraud is a major concern when it comes to untrustworthy crypto poker. If dishonest operators influence outcomes or engage in unethical methods, players might lose a lot of money. This is bad for the players and the reputation of the bitcoin poker market as a whole.

Theft is another terrifying possibility that lurks in the shadows of the unsecured world of crypto poker. The thought of having your money stolen from your wallet or bank account is enough to make anybody feel sick.

The Key

But there’s still hope. Let’s shift gears and talk about the financial aspects of the game-changing innovation that has won over many gamblers: secure crypto poker. The key is for crypto poker sites to have high-level security features, which will protect players’ financial and personal information.

The safety of users is of paramount importance to cryptocurrency poker sites. Any cryptocurrency exchange runs the risk of being hacked, robbed, or otherwise compromised. Bitcoin casinos, on the other hand, have made substantial efforts to protect their customers’ funds and details.

Encryption has been a game-changer for the top bitcoin poker sites. Encryption safeguards sensitive information by converting it into unreadable ciphertext that can only be accessed by those in possession of the correct encryption key. With this safety measure in place, all player information and financial dealings are protected from any kind of unauthorized access or manipulation.

Everygame Offering New Promotions as it Expands Poker Games Section

Posted on May 4, 2023 by Kelley N.

Everygame Poker has just announced its latest promotion, and it is one that crypto poker enthusiasts will not want to miss. Back to Venus, Thai Blossoms, Fruit Zen, and Chilli Pop are four of the most popular games offered by Betsoft, and from May 1st through the 8th, players who make a deposit will be eligible to get free spins on these games.

When you make your first deposit with Bitcoin Cash or LiteCoin, you will get 20 extra spins in addition to the standard bonus.

The Details

Back to Venus is a space-themed fantasy game that will take you to another planet, where alien plants have abilities that might result in gigantic prizes. It has five reels and twenty paylines, and the symbols vary from alien cows to a flying saucer to a unique extra feature with even more chances to win big.

Sticky Wild Lotus Blossoms await you in the next chapter of Thai Blossoms, an enticing adventure through a faraway land. The game’s UI is as aesthetically pleasing as the game’s visuals, which will take you away to a tranquil Thai garden replete with temples and tiki torches. Moreover, the Sticky Wild Lotus Blossom bonus increases your chances of winning.

Fruit Zen is the perfect game for you if you are in the mood for something calmer. A cherry orchard serves as this game’s setting, with a relaxing melody and gorgeous visuals. But don’t let it deceive you, since the growing Wild feature may boost your odds of scoring a winning combination, so there is still plenty of action to be had.

And last, but certainly not least, we have Chilli Pop, which is a fiery Mexican party that will have you on the edge of your seat the whole time. This game has five reels and twenty paylines, and it contains a variety of spicy symbols including tomatoes, peppers, and chilli peppers. In addition, players who make a deposit using LiteCoin are entered into a draw for up to 80 bonus spins, so this game should not be overlooked.

Even More to Come

The good news for Everygame Poker’s customer base doesn’t end there, either. This month, the online casino section of the website will be getting an expansion with the addition of two new games: Supreme 777 Jackpots and Hot Lucky 7s. Both Supreme 777 Jackpots, a multi-hand blackjack game with a side wager that can win one of three jackpots, and Hot Lucky 7s, the other new slot game, will soon be available on the platform.
