Appealing to Poker Amateurs
One of the greatest draws of the international online casino gambling industry
is the fact that players from all walks of life and all skill sets can find a
game of interest. For the internet poker players though, finding the low stakes
tables that are not dominated by poker professionals can be hard and
frustrating. Casual poker players and amateurs are interested in a less
competitive gambling environment that focuses instead on fun and casual play.
For that reason the Ongame Network has announced a new system for the online
casinos that has designed the rake allocation to actually favor the losing
players.
The new system is revolutionary and is designed to actually appeal to the online
casinos that pride themselves on a huge base of internet poker players rather
than the sites that seek out highly competitive high stakes poker play. The new
system, dubbed the Essence program, gives credit to losing poker players versus
the consistent winners as a way to better level the playing field and make the
game fun for all involved. Ongame feels that the newly launching system will
allow casual online casino poker players to feel more valued by their chosen
gaming site.
Additionally, the online casino poker sites using this model will likely draw
more interested casual poker players because they will have more advantage and a
chance to succeed in the poker games. One key component to the Essence program
are the special rules in place that allow casual poker players to pay less for a
game and also receive bonus points for all of their game play, not just games
they win. |
