Terminal action for online poker software

01/02/2008

The online poker software developed by the Backgammonmasters' gambling website will soon find far wider application following a deal to use the product on betting terminals in a diversity of land locations.

The agreement between Backgammonmasters and Betting Terminal Inc involves integrating the Texas Holdem poker game software into game terminals which are scattered throughout the world.

The first pilot for the integration will be launched in Croatia, and is planned for 100 betting terminals in coffee shops, bars and other entertainment hotspots. The integrated terminals will include multiplayer Texas Holdem poker and other casino games - all to be accessed from the BackgammonMasters game lobby installed on the terminals.

The system is a remote access server based application, hosted and controlled by a remote access unit to process prepaid cards. This innovative platform is the first worldwide release of the multiplayer Texas Holdem Poker game application. There are two modes which players can select from, private or public play mode.

Other multi-table games will be incorporated in the platform once the poker game application is finalised, a company spokesman revealed.

Players will be able to open an account or log in to an existing account at the terminal and access all of their account information. They will use a prepaid platform and several other methods of transaction, as at their home computers, only now using the terminal touch screens on the terminals, with the option of swiping their credit card for instant recognition of their account.

As part of the deal, Betting Terminal has also developed a new land based remote access support application. The new system will support all 100 terminals simultaneously and is available to all poker players who use the multi-table poker terminal. Support operators will assist the players with any issue they may have including use of the terminal and/or the software.
