 PokerBook Unveils Proprietary Poker Software - PB25
HOLLYWOOD, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 05/10/2005 -- PokerBook Gaming Corporation (OTC: POKG), the only U.S. publicly traded corporation focused on organizing land and Internet-based charity Poker tournaments as well as the development and licensing of Poker software, unveiled today the beta test version of its newly enhanced, proprietary, web-based Poker tournament software -- PB25. Poker players and interested investors may demo PB25 by visiting the corporate website at www.pokerbook.com.
"We're thrilled with this new product and believe PB25 will redefine online Poker software as it is one of the only true non-downloadable programs in the market today," said PokerBook CEO Jay Patel. "The next few weeks will be a very exciting time for this company as we gear up for the World Series of Poker with Team PokerBook and the launch of our next product, PB Turbo."
To introduce PB25 to online Poker enthusiasts and the general public, PokerBook will be conducting weekly "Free Roll Tournaments" during the final beta test phase of the development. There will be no cost to the player and no deposit required, yet the winners of these free roll tournaments will be awarded valuable prizes. "This is a cost easily justified by both the exposure PokerBook will receive, and for the valuable feedback that tournament players will be able to offer by voicing their comments about the new interface," asserted Patel.
PB25 will quickly introduce the new player to online Poker. This version requires no downloads, no deposits and is extremely user friendly. Players can be playing within seconds of logging onto the website. PB25 will also act as an excellent practice platform for new players wishing to learn the game.
PB Turbo, a faster, more robust gaming platform designed for the serious Internet Poker player is set to launch in early June. PB Turbo is designed to compete with all the popular internet Poker platforms and includes exciting new features available only from PokerBook.
The Company reports that www.pokerbook.com will soon include Poker News from around the world, details of all major national and international tournaments, and playing strategies including "Tips from the Pros." Most importantly, the site can be used as an informational and learning tool for all Poker players. Poker fans should visit the corporate website for upcoming announcements.
