Who's Affected?
Ultimate Bet’s latest setback comes in the form of a software glitch with the
Cereus gambling network. The parent company for Ultimate Bet, Tokwiro
Enterprises, announced just this past week that 35 poker hands were affected by
a software glitch that has since been repaired. The scale of this setback is
pretty minor and Ultimate Bet has already begun to look at past hand histories
to ensure that no players were previously affected. The main issue though for
the online casino poker gambling companies is less that the software glitch is
so minor and more to the fact that this happened at all.
The move to the Cereus Poker Network was marketed as a bit of a new start for
Ultimate Bet and online casino poker players were looking forward to fresh
beginnings at the site as Ultimate Bet recovered from the negative media
attention of last year’s poker cheating scandal. The COO at Towiro, Paul
Leggett, released a thorough statement concerning the software glitches and
notes “we found logic in our code that we have enhanced to further ensure this
malfunction cannot reoccur.”
The modification of the software to fix the first glitch caused a secondary
glitch that awarded incorrect payments to online casino poker gamblers. All in
all though, the majority of the poker gamblers at Ultimate Bet were largely
unaffected by the software glitches. Only those players who experienced an
abrupt internet disconnection during payout phase of a poker hand were affected
– and according to the COO all of the minor malfunctions have been re-coded and
are now safe and fair. |
