Competition Drives Innovation, Two Great New Features

This week, PokerStars and Full Tilt have introduced new features that poker players are sure to appreciate.

PokerStars introduced the ability to create your own personal home games. A place where you can establish your own tournaments and cash games amongst your friends in an easy to use environment. Players can create their own private poker club where you play the games you choose, amongst your selected friends, at a time set at your convenience. More details can be found HERE

Full Tilt Poker introduced Multi-Entry Tournaments. Now you can legally multi-table a tournament. You can buy in as man times as you like to a tournament and always be placed at different tables so you are never playing against yourself. If you have more entries than tables remaining, you will have two of your entries merged, and their chips combined. More details can be found HERE

Zimba analysis:
In the hyper-competitive online poker environment and with challenging world-wide economic and legislative environments, it is innovation that will be the industry's salvation. Introducing original features and customer friendly improvements will keep players coming back. I applaud the two largest poker rooms for continuing to push new ideas, even if they are motivated more by the revenue increasing aspects of their new features.
