Still Waiting - 09 Sep 2006 10:29 - 37 of 128

Marketing will start next week I'm sure...

PapalPower - 09 Sep 2006 13:49 - 38 of 128

It should do, we should be getting official news I would think.

PapalPower - 10 Sep 2006 15:46 - 39 of 128

Must say, I am very very impressed with the software......... :)

Still Waiting - 10 Sep 2006 17:49 - 40 of 128

I was to, and I don't even play poker.

PapalPower - 11 Sep 2006 17:46 - 41 of 128

Another nice move up, and still PLW remains a "hidden" little share, thats going to wake up when the marketing campaign and PR starts to work soon this month and also next.

Price being held back as CA unload the old positions, but as soon as they are clear, the rises should get bigger and faster :) Lets hope so.

PapalPower - 11 Sep 2006 17:57 - 42 of 128

The 500K today should be nearly the last of the CA sells, fingers crossed it should be flying soon if that marks the end.

The tick up at the end of the day would point to perhaps it is :) Roll on some buying pressure tomorrow morning to check it out.

PapalPower - 13 Sep 2006 05:48 - 43 of 128

Rumours says a couple of weeks of this present soft launch, before the real official launch end of this month, and the marketing campaign beginning first week of October.

Sounds good, and on using the software and trying it, I am very impressed with it.

Responding well to the news, and lets hope the start of the marketing campaign will also bring lots more interest into Playwize as well as Pokerwize :)

PapalPower - 13 Sep 2006 10:57 - 46 of 128

L2 strong as well, now 3 v 1 @13.5/14.

If we can break through the 14p offer, we might be away.

PapalPower - 13 Sep 2006 12:11 - 47 of 128

Broken the 14p offer now, a good sign.

L2 all blue and might start to move quicker now.

PapalPower - 13 Sep 2006 16:05 - 48 of 128

Don't forget, the software is free to download, links are in the header :).

Tutorial excellent for newbies of those wanting to learn Poker, very easy to use and play for fun, or real money :)

Interesting post from AFN :


3ldrechr - 15 Sep'06 - 14:33 - 1370 of 1370

Right we have been on about genuine institutional interest. i believe we have some, very small at the moment but nevertheless i believe Morgan Stanley were the buy of 150K yesterday.

I have mentioned a number of times that on bloomberg you can see where brokers and banks put out indicators for size they want to trade. IIRA if anyone here has access to a bloomberg. Well on that screen yesterday Morgan Stanley put out an indication for 150,000 shares. The only trade i see in time and sales for that size y'day was at 14p, and booked after hours as broker to broker. The market was never 14p bid y'day 14p was the mid price on the open therefore i do NOT believe the transaction to be a sell. I also believe that Winterfloods were the other side of that trade. Now if MS do have an interest i wouldn't be suprised to see the mm's hold the share down until they got what they want (buggers did that on SEG as a lot of the gents here will verify). I will check that screen everyday to se if Morgan Stanley show any further interest.

From AFN........the review reads well :)


v0d00child - 19 Sep'06 - 21:06 - 1543 of 1544

Check it out...

It should be a "bells and whistles" launch with a full marketing campaign including press, PR and TV coverage.

To be honest its the speed of the game that really impresses me. Pokerwize have proved that it is possible to have good 3D graphics, with advanced camera angles and fun features within the game to increase communication at the tables and bring real enjoyment to the game, while at the same time maintaining the volume of hands with a very high hourly hand rate.

Will they use the Pokerwize software as the official client to be used for all their Prima poker gaming firms, thereby replacing the current rather pathetic 2D client that is fairly average, even by 2D standards? Is an arrangement already in place between the firms, and if not why not? I'm smelling the money already...

Nice post from AFN, and very true IMO. I can see the PLW 3D interface soon replacing all 2D systems.

If you have not tried in, do, even if only in play for fun mode, its impressive.


TompoL - 21 Sep'06 - 10:38 -

I'm a long term holder. Although I very rarely post here I am a constant lurker and post fairly regularly on PLW on Michael Walters.

I've been playing the game since it was first softlaunched a couple of weeks back and love it. However, last night it dawned on me I had nothing to compare it with.

So last night, with the wife and two kids safely tucked up in bed, I set up accounts with what I understand to be the main competition and played each for half an hour.

I am now utterly convinced about the merits of the PLW version. In comparision the others were slow and user interfaces dreadful. Prior to last night I felt I was over exposed to PLW. I've now decided to "raise just a little".

Roll on 1st October.

Best of luck

TompoL.

A table has been set up by a user where Pokerwize users can meet up and try out all the functions of Pokerwize with other Pokerwize users, here are the directions to find the table.


Once on line "Playwize"

At the Lobby area, switch to "Classic View" the button is located in the top right hand of the main "Let me help you get started" box.

Once in Classic View then click on "Private Games" and then "Cash Games" and you'll start to look at page 1 of xxx

Use advance buttons and move yourself to Page 209 of the Cash Games.

In Page 209 you will find a Table called "Wize"

The password is "poker".

As this is only known to Pokerwize players at the moment through the threads on the BB's, then all players there should be using Pokerwize, so a good chance to try out the VOIP and gestures etc..... I'll be looking in over the weekend, see if anyone is on line at the same time.

Spin Palace Group. Spin Palace will provide back-office functionality for a new

are being operated on a revenue-sharing basis.

* Playwize plc, the AIM listed developer of software for the
entertainment industry,, has contracted Spin Palace to run the back-end
operations for its new 3-D poker room software - namely Pokerwize.com - which
enables gamers to play for both fun and for real money. Games developed under
Pokerwize (Pokerwize.com), the company's first new offering, facilitates players
to experience a revolutionary new way to enjoy the game, including real-time
voice chat, full hands calculator, integrated player statistics and an in-depth
3-D tutorial with TV and poker celebrity Helen Chamberlain.

* Zero36 Ltd has developed a suite of casino games specifically designed
for mobile phone applications. The new software is integrated with the
Microgaming-powered back-office platform operated by Spin Palace and is being
marketed to major mobile phone companies both in the UK and Europe.

Commenting on developments, Evan Hoff, Chief Executive of Fairground Gaming
Holdings plc said: "These are interesting and exciting developments, which
demonstrate the prowess of The Spin Palace Group. Through Zero36 we now have
exposure to the rapidly growing mobile-gaming sector, with a partner who is
focused exclusively on mobile gaming, while with Playwize we have exposure to an
exceptionally innovative and largely unique poker product that clearly has huge
potential."

Share price fall seems excessive in view of little US exposure. Gone back in today.
