Bodog Poker will roll out a software update in 2019
The PaiWangLuo Poker Network, the parent company of Bodog Poker, Ignition Casino, and Bovada, is preparing a software update to improve the user experience when playing at the tables. We had access to a sneak preview and in this article, we share all the novelties.
Bodog Poker: the softest US-facing poker network
Bodog Poker is perhaps the largest US-facing poker room which has embraced the "anti-reg" policy from its very beginning. With over 20 years of experience in the gambling industry, it has become a symbol for different reasons:
- It's currently the largest US-facing network in terms of traffic;
- It was one of the first networks in adopting the anti-reg policy:
- All tables are anonymous;
- HUDs are restricted (not strictly forbidden);
- Random seating and no waiting lists;
- Guarantees a total of $6MUSD every month in MTTs;
- It has all modern poker formats, including Jackpot SnG and Fast Poker;
- Multi-tabling is limited to 4 spots;
- The network develops its own software, which embraces all network policies.
Bodog Poker new software going live on April 9, 2019
Bodog Poker has always kept the recreational user experience in mind, and almost all novelties that will be introduced next month are focused on it. There will be no major changes in the gameplay and no new formats will be introduced, the changes are mainly esthetics and focused on the tables' design, and it will have no significant impact on grinders experience.
New player indicator:
All new players joining an active table will have a badge clearly indicating it.
Table readability:
All information displayed at the table is more readable, including:
- Pot size (both side and main pot):
- Player status (active, inactive, folded);
- All-in percentage
- Hand strength
- New deck designs, including 4-colour deck
- New table themes;
Redesigned hand replayer:
Now the cards of the opponents who mucked their hand won't be visible from the hand replayer, such information will only be available through the hand history.
Player notes:
Color coding is being removed, it will be more difficult now to tag fishes at the tables.
Notifications center:
