Lot’s of Changes Going on at Party Poker

September 27, 2008

Party Poker, one of the largest online poker rooms, recently made some pretty big changes to their poker room. Here is a rundown of the latest changes:

The Lobby
Party Poker has helped make it easier to find a table with their new-look Lobby views, Quick Search feature, and favorites area. Party Poker claims that it takes just three seconds for players to sit down and start playing at a table and start playing with their all-new Quick Seat feature. Party Poker even lets you preview the live action at a table before taking a seat.

The Table
The graphics have been improved as well as the game controls. You can now personalize your player image by uploading your own picture or choosing one from their library. Multi-tabling is now easier to manage: Players can open new tables directly from the one they are at, arrange them to suit their screen, and catch all the action with customizable alerts. The action area has been made more user-friendly, making placing bets easy.

To make placing your bet simple, all the action buttons have been consolidated into one area, and you can even choose to color code your bet buttons. They have also reworked the bet slider and introduced bet tabs to make pushing your chips in as easy as possible. Party Poker is also promising even more improvements to this area.

They have improved several other features and consolidated them into one area of the table. You can now rebuy to the table and deposit to your account as you play, and both the notes and chat features are now even easier to use. The simple tabbed navigation helps you to keep track of the action when you are playing at multiple tables.

Speaking of Multi-tabling they have made that easier as well

You can now open new tables directly from the one you’re playing at: Just hit the ‘Open Table’ button.
Once you’ve got the tables you want open, the improved tiling and cascading features allow you to sort them quickly and easily into a view that works for you. Just use the icons in the table title bar to arrange your windows. You can also reset tables to their default size and set your own sorting criteria.

To make sure you don’t miss out on a winning hand as you play on multiple tables, They have added a real nice alert system. The tables will let you know when you’re holding a big hand or a big pot is up for grabs so you can be in the hands you want. You will even be alerted to your opponent’s betting patterns and to any tables you’re timing out on.

Last but not least, Party Poker has increased their bonus as well. They are now offering a 100% sign up bonus up to $500. If you are interested in checking out Party Poker click here.
