Top Swedish gambling software provider Ongame has announced that it is introducing a new name and greater gaming diversity to its global poker network. Formerly titled Poker Network, the operation hosts almost 4 million regular poker players, mainly under Ongame subsidiary Poker Room.com.
The network branding has been changed to Ongame Network, and with it a new range of non-poker games has been made available, including Craps, Roulette, Blackjack, PaiGow Poker and Video Poker Multi-Hand. Slot machines will also be introduced offering seriously large progressive jackpots, for example the forthcoming Sultan’s Treasure slot machine game which will have a starting jackpot of $300,000.
Ongame Network’s director, David Flynn says, “Multi-player casino games and Blackjack tournaments, along with high quality graphics, will differentiate Ongame Network from the broad offering that currently exists in this part of the industry.”
The move comes at a time when online poker market leader Party Poker has also announced that games other than poker will be available to its network players. In distancing Party Poker’s network from that of its white label partners this week, Party Gaming said that it planned a major new site to be launched early next year which would present not only poker but a variety of other games to its claimed 9 million players.
