EvenBet Gaming unveils interactive poker platform upgrades including video chat, Bomb Pot feature

Online gaming software developer EvenBet Gaming has introduced an array of new interactive features to its poker platform, aimed at enhancing user experience and fostering sociability.

Comprising video chat, throwable objects, and bomb pots, the recent platform enhancements are strategically designed to amplify player communication and interaction, aiming to replicate the immersive dynamics of traditional offline poker within the digital realm.

Video chat, a novel addition to the platform, empowers players to engage in real-time interactions at designated tables, excluding tournaments, while integrating both camera and microphone capabilities.

Players now also have the opportunity to convey their emotions during gameplay by hurling virtual animated objects at opponents, selecting from a range of 10 available options. This lighthearted feature presents a more amusing alternative to the conventional use of emojis, complementing the animated emoji reactions introduced in the previous year.

Lastly, adding an element of suspense, EvenBet introduced the Bomb Pot feature, which appears randomly during a session and entails all participants to contribute an ante, thereby augmenting the potential winnings for the victorious hand. The frequency of Bomb Pot occurrences is under the operator's control, and player agreement might be sought before the game resumes.

Dmitry Starostenkov, CEO of EvenBet Gaming, said: “We are very excited to release these fun and engaging features within our platform. We are continuously looking at ways to bring elements of the offline poker experience into the online world, and now players have the opportunity to express their emotions and engage with opponents in real-time with these upgrades."

"We are very proud of what we have achieved, and we look forward to working on future enhancements that continue to evolve the digital poker experience."

According to the company, EvenBet's enhanced social features are set to deliver a positive impact on engagement, retention and an operator's bottom line, while delivering benefits across a number of KPIs.
