Silverball in poker fever – no-one can escape

Raise, dealer, blind, check, ... whether you’re an enthusiastic poker player or not – you can’t escape these terms. The fascination of Texas Hold’em has already reached Europe and continues to grow.

Texas Hold’em is one of the most popular versions of the hundred games of poker. Poker has even become the sport which offers the most prize money. This purse may be won at the World Series of Poker championship (WSOP), which was first held under this title in 1970 and has since always sought to find the best poker player in the world. The WSOP’s main event is a Texas Hold’em no-limit tournament with a 10,000 dollar buy-in which was first staged in 1972. It is the most prestigious poker championship in the world so that the winner may rightly be called “world champion”.

The spell has remained unbroken since then and Texas Hold’em has drawn growing numbers of fans. The game’s attraction is that each player is only dealt two cards, which means that they can more easily assess the strength of their own hands. Excitement is generated with each new card that is dealt openly for all players and the game remains extremely interesting to the last.

Live-Games against fans from all over the world

And it is on this premise that the new premium game for Silverball terminals is based. Texas Hold’em provides guests with precisely the mix of excitement and variety that stands for magnificent revenues. No game is the same as the previous one and in the head-to-head mode, players can even play live against other poker fans all over the world. For those who prefer the one-player mode, a variety of characters are available who randomly come together for each game.

“In contrast to other games, it is not speed that counts here, but skill.” Only those who can play poker properly will win. Tactics, concentration and a knowledge of human character are required,” said Karin Scheidl, Marketing Manager at TAB-Austria.

It doesn’t matter if you’re playing against human or computer opponents – you need to proceed strategically. Even bluffing may from time to time be beneficial and the starting money can be seriously increased with clever bets and the number of games won. But take care: as in a real game, lost bets will result in points being deducted.

With Texas Hold’em, TAB-Austria has continued its series of premium games – it is the eighth new game to be released this year. It’s another game with which any operator and landlord can make stunning profits.
