MONTREAL--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Canadian-poker (http://www.canadian-poker.ca) reports that players have been citing recent experiences at online poker sites in which they have come face to face - so to speak - with bots programmed to compete against real players in some types of games. Fortuitously, 888 Poker recently implemented their new “Home Games” feature that allows players to participate in invitation-only cash games where they can interact with each other via webcams and microphones. PokerStars offers a similar feature allowing players to interact via webcams. This could be just the ticket to assuring players that their opponents are actual human beings rather than robots programed to win using mathematical algorithms.

888 Poker has been an innovative force in the online poker industry, explained Canadian-poker spokesperson Leon Daniels. “888 has taken a concept introduced by PokerStars and created a feature that appeals to online poker players across Canada who want to see and hear their opponents, even if they’re on the other side of the country or the world. This kind of unprecedented human interaction in online poker will banish much of the negativity players feel toward suspected bots.” Read more here: http://www.canadian-poker.ca/888-poker.

“Players deserve fair competition against people who rely on their skill, wit, and luck to win - not bots who operate according to algorithms,” Daniels argued. “Having the option to play games against known, visible opponents will give a lot of players peace of mind, especially amidst the controversy that’s engulfed the industry since Full Tilt Poker lost its license.”

Bwin Poker, while lacking a similar Home Games feature accessible to Canadian players, has also shown innovation in their development of online poker iPhone apps. “This brings more human connection to real people,” Daniels added, “and further humanizes online poker.”

Technology is progressing and allowing online poker players even greater security, Daniels explained. “For players who want more control, 888 Poker is working to provide it. This is just one more reason why we consistently recommend this site to our readers who value a great platform and a company that goes the extra mile for us.”
