The new WSOP online poker client was one of the most hotly anticipated pieces of poker software in the last few years. It was the first chance players from around the world will have to get a taste of the World Series from the comfort of their own home. Rather than striking out on their own network, Harrah’s decided to team up with 888. The veteran online gaming designed and built the WSOP software and provide a network on which to house it, which was a disappointment to most players as it was first released. However in the intervening months the 888 Team has been hard at work, and the software has been updated, radically improved and dragged into the modern era of online poker.
The initial download is a tiny 279 KB and should be on your computer in its entirety in a matter of seconds. The remaining files will then be downloaded to your computer, once your run the instillation program. But even these are relatively modest and the whole process should be complete in just a few minutes. The downloadable client is Windows only, but since first launching the room WSOP.com have also developed an instant play option, meaning Mac, Linux and Windows users alike can play in their internet browsers.
While the downloadable client left a lot to be desired in the visuals department when it was first introduced, WSOP.com and 888 have taken criticism on board and the result is a new modern poker room which looks sleek and is easy to use. Stylish grays and reds are easy on the eyes while at the same time making it clear how to quickly navigate your way around the poker lobby. The peculiarities of the tab system seen in the original version have been removed, and the new lobby features a much more familiar system of finding a table at which to play, which both old and new players will have no problems coming to grips with.
The safety and integrity of your money and identity is very important to Harrah’s and the WSOP. To that end, they have taken pains to ensure that all transactions are processed under industry-grade encryptions. Keeping underage players away from online poker is a difficult battle, but strong age verification techniques have ensured that the WSOP software received certification from the IRCA. To ensure that you are playing under completely fair conditions, an MD5 Random Number Generator regulates the dealing of cards and proprietary collusion technology attempts to root our cheaters.
