Thursday 2nd September 2010
The Playtech-powered online poker offering from WilliamHill.com has announced the addition of multiple new tools and functions that have been designed to make players’ experiences even more enjoyable.
The Gibraltar-licensed site revealed that one of its biggest changes includes a redesign of its poker tables with players now able to cascade multiple tables in addition to being able to compete on more than one monitor at the same time.
WilliamHill.com has also made it easier to identify players' status while participating at a table with features such as an avatar that flashes when it’s someone's hand alongside new backgrounds, borders and shading. A player’s avatar will also now turn blue when their time bank has been activated while a chip tray has been added to the top of the table.
The changes do not stop there as players can now increase and decrease the size of their tables from small for participating in multiple games to maximum for those wanting to concentrate on just one match. There is also a spotlight feature that highlights the seated player whose turn it is to make a move. If there are players sitting out or if there is a break in the game, this spotlight will skip on to the next competitor.
WilliamHill.com has also improved players’ chat functionality by incorporating it into a side toolbar featuring commentary, player notes, relevant statistics, hand histories and settings. These can be accessed from icons in the left-side navigation with the chosen feature highlighted and different colour.
Players can also choose the size of their chat window by clicking on small arrows located in the right hand side of the chat window while emoticons can be added from a pre-defined list.
