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.

-Labour bids to put UK at heart of online gambling (front page)

-Busted flush for online bets (page 19)...as Matthew Goodman explains, the game's not up yet

-Prufrock (page 24): quote from Chris Gorman of Purple Lounge..."We've had a record week - and a takeover offer, too. it's been great"

From the Sunday Press;

Plans to turn Britain into a world leader in internet gambling have been drawn up by ministers, according to internal Whitehall documents, the Sunday Times reports.

In stark contrast to America, where online gambling has in effect been outlawed, ministers want to attract offshore companies to Britain. New legislation will lift the current ban on online gaming businesses in Britain from next year.

Well worth a read :

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2095-2393518,00.html

Looks like its all about to start, quote from post on AFN this morning :


"Due to the press launch tomorrow night with Helen Chamberlain in attendance and the marketing campaign finally kicking in this month with cd's, downloads etc in major publications including FHM numbering in the 100's of thousands - should ensure some decent publicity."

Solid day so far.

For those who have downloaded and used/are using the Pokerwize software, if you open the game with your internet connection open it will now download some software patches and you will get a new look and also more functions added.

All is all a nice upgrade to an already very nice package.

You can still download for free (LAST DAY TODAY) the full package with the trainer as well at :

New front end to the web site today : http://www.pokerwize.com/index.php

A good post and a good idea from 3ld, now if we all use that chat box at the side to ask if the others are using 3D Poker Software, and when they say no say "well, there is a free to download version at " http://www.pokerwize.com " we as PLW shareholders will be doing out bit to spread the word, get more people on 3D software, and more important, more people using Pokerwize !! :)

There were 10 at the table me included, 7 of them from Sweden/Norway or Denmark!!! Looks like a great place to plug PLW.

France, Italy, Austria Told to Open Gaming to Foreign Companies

2006-10-12 06:10 (New York)


By John Rega
Oct. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Italy, France and Austria received
European Union warnings to open their gambling industries to
foreign companies or face lawsuits in Europe's highest court.
The gambling cases have gained urgency with the Sept. 15
arrests in France of two executives from BWIN Interactive
Entertainment AG, an Internet bookmaker based in Austria. The
executives, who have been released from custody, are charged
with violating local gambling laws. The company has said French authorities were acting on a complaint by the country's gaming monopoly Francaise des Jeux.
The European Commission, the EU's executive branch in
Brussels, issued the warning to the three countries in a written statement today.
The cases expand the commission's campaign against
obstacles to competition within the 25-nation EU. The agency
says removing internal borders for business has created more
than 2.5 million jobs and 877 billion euros ($1.1 trillion) of wealth since 1993.
PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP estimated the 2005 total gaming
market in Austria at $485 million, with $3.1 billion in France and $603 million in Italy. Italy is in the midst of opening up its gaming market to foreign operators by licensing more sports betting and horse racing shops and so-called ``remote gaming'' by Internet and telephone.

Double Fusion Ups the Ante, Increases Reach with Playwize Online Poker Game

In-Game Ad Leader Capitalizes on the Enormous Growth and Popularity in Poker with Playwize's Poker Game

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Leading independent in-game advertising company Double Fusion has further increased the number of games available to its advertiser and agency partners by signing with Playwize Plc to place advertising into its new PC game, Playwize Poker and online game Pokerwize.

Capitalizing on the current international poker craze, Double Fusion's partnership with Playwize further broadens the network's reach to a wider demographic of gamers for the in-game ad company's advertiser partners. Playwize plans to generate huge awareness of the game's launch through a structured roll-out program in conjunction with a number of media outlets.

The game features a totally immersive 3-D environment that includes integrated voice chat and live advice from professional poker players. The most popular poker variations are offered, including Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Seven Card Stud, and Five Card Stud. The game's innovative interface creates the most realistic playing environment in an online poker game, allowing players to do everything from raising and lowering bets to taunting rivals, bluffing and even flirting with fellow players.

The agreement will also serve to enhance gamers' experience by making immersive 3D environments more authentic through the integration of brands that players would expect to see in the real world. Players can customize their on-screen avatars from a selection of different player models and outfits, offering unique branding possibilities.

Double Fusion continues to grow our network so that our advertiser partners are reaching the largest, most diverse set of eyes, and not simply reaching the same gamers again and again, said Jonathan Epstein, CEO of Double Fusion. By partnering with Playwize, the creators of one of the most innovative and realistic online poker experiences, the strength of our network increases exponentially.

With Playwize, we've sought to create the next generation in poker games. The variety of gameplay available and the quality 3D settings truly transport gamers from their desks to the poker room, said Foo Katan, CEO of Playwize Plc. Double Fusion's understanding of the gamer experience and their ability to perfectly partner advertiser to game title and ad opportunity will extend the game's realism even further.

Double Fusion is committed to offering its advertiser and agency partners the widest array of advertising opportunities available from any in-game advertising company, to maximizing revenues for its publisher and developer partners, and to building a portfolio of top titles among retail PC and console games, massively multiplayer online games, casual downloadable games, and advanced online games.
