Question is though, will they make their own poker software/network where only stake players will be able to play or will they join a network like ipoker, ggpoker, 888 and so on.
Hopefully it will be their own poker network because they have their own big player base so I think they want to provide their own network and become a competitor to the other existing provider/network. Stake has a big name already in the gambling industry, their advertisement is almost everywhere in the internet as well as in real life through the sponsorship with football club and others. Maybe it will be great for their business if they can have their own network and try to attract poker players from the other existing network.
Now I am wondering if video poker is a different game altogether from the real poker?.
Forgive my ignorance though, I am a total newbie to poker .
Yes they are different, video poker game is a game that you play against the house while real poker (usually called by pvp poker) is a game that you play against other players.
