After a long silence about poker on stake we just got a little update on stream.
Some person asked in chat what's happening and Eddie said poker will first come to stake.us "very soon" as yet another "social experience", funny how they are still trying to frame it as a "social casino" .
If the test run on the us site turns successful they will also offer it at .com, so that are interesting news for people who want to use their poker skills on stake in the future.
If the software will actually worth be anything is a different story.
Good update i must say, i personally have never played poker before, and neither do i know how to play it, but i do have friends who are really into the game, and in the area where i live, one will have to travel several miles to find a physical casino where they can play poker, since the online casinos that offer the game is very limited.
The news of the game coming to stake is a good one sincerely, and since they have chosen to test it on the us version of the site for now, all i can hope is that all goes well as they expect, so that they can also get the game listed on the main stake .com site, i possibly may learn to play through my friends if they get the game integrated on the main site.
Poker is a global game and integrating it into Stake will boost their traffic level because poker is an internationally known game and among the most referenced casino games, I don't know what the main reason for the special attention to poker games
But then also we have to encourage more poker tournaments we have some food managers and organizers here also, so this will help a lot and I believe this could be in the pipeline for the long term.
