Today, Wednesday, April 9, our poker rooms will not be available between 4:00 a.m. GMT (6:00 a.m. CEST) and 6:00 a.m. GMT (8:00 a.m. CEST). But the couple of hours of interruption will be worth it because PokerKings is releasing new poker software! Several new features enhance game play and user-friendliness in the latest version of Boss Media's poker software Poker 6.6.

Here, in a nutshell, are the new features:

More time to think: The new timebank

From time to time, it's hard to make the decision to call, check, raise or fold during a betting round. A few more seconds may be just what you need to make a move. This is the purpose of the new timebank feature.

You must actively choose to use any remaining timebank seconds to extend your decision time. Otherwise, you risk timing out as soon as the default decision time has expired. If you wish to use extra timebank seconds, all you have to do is click on the TIMEBANK button in your action area before your default decision time has expired.



Customize your table: The new miniview

The new miniview of our poker tables makes multi-tabling much easier, because you can now display four or more tables on one screen. There is no minimum size for the tables.

The most comfortable seat at an online poker table is typically the one in the bottom centre. In the new software, you now have the option to always assume this seat in Texas Hold'em, Omaha High, and Omaha Hi-Lo cash games, as well as in Texas Hold'em tournaments. The new miniview feature allows you to take any vacant seat at a table. When the next round begins, the table will be rotated so you can see the table as if you were seated at the bottom centre.

Personalized tournament lists

The lists of sit&go and multi-table tournaments in the poker lobby are now personalized for each player. If you have registered for the tournament, are currently participating in it, or have competed in it, the tournament is highlighted in bold in the list.

Table menu modifications

With the new poker software also comes a more user-friendly table menu. The menu presented from a table is now a vertically expanding list that replaces the former tabs. The menu is basically the same, whether you view it from the standard or miniview perspective.

When you visit our poker rooms any time after tomorrow morning, all these great new features will be waiting for you at PokerKings . Enjoy!
