It's now even easier to find your favorite tournaments. We've improved the way tournaments are displayed and sorted in the lobby. You can continue to sort and filter games by clicking on the corresponding column header or tab to find a seat that meets your needs.
For your convenience select Sit n Gos can now also be found under the Schedule Tournaments tab. In addition, the "Show Registering/Upcoming (Tournaments) Only" button is now selected by default, which will make it easier to find a game.
We've improved the promotional banners in our lobby. Our new banners, which take advantage of Adobe Flash, not only look better than before, but we can now showcase more exciting offers at once. Nearly all of our players already have the necessary software installed on their computers to properly display our new banners.
The option to display your folded cards is back by popular demand! Now you can experience a more lifelike poker atmosphere by displaying your cards after folding in heads-up situations.
Please note that the "Fold and Show" button will only be displayed if two players remain playing at a table. If you click on the "Fold and Show" button, your cards will be displayed for two seconds before disappearing and then the other player will win the pot.
Reliving your glory and learning from the error of your ways is easier than ever before. You will now find a box displaying your hand history in the bottom left-hand corner of the hand replayer.
Use the left and right arrow keys to find your favorite hands and then use the up and down arrows to review a complete text play by play.
Chat bubbles add personality to the tables, but some players can do without the distractions. You can now quickly disable or enable chat bubbles by clicking on the yellow "options" button at any table. Next check or uncheck the box beside "Display Chat Bubble" to enable or disable pop-up chat bubbles from appearing on top of chatting players.
Even if you disable chat bubbles, you can still follow the chat dialogue in the designated chat window, if you wish.
Not a blackjack fan? You can now easily remove access to our blackjack tables.
To customize your blackjack preferences, visit the "Hide Blackjack" option from the "My Account" drop-down menu in the lobby. You can stop the blackjack icon from appearing at individual poker tables or you can completely disable blackjack tables from appearing in the lobby.
Climb the ladder of success with our new Step tournaments. Our Step tournaments work just like a ladder of single table Sit n Go tournaments, except the prize at each table is a seat at the next step. Although you can win your way to the next step, you can also enter higher steps for increasingly larger buy-ins.
Step tournaments operate similarly to our popular satellite tournaments, except Step tournaments let you compete in the succeeding rounds on your own schedule. After winning a Step tournament your account will be credited and you can enter the next round at your convenience. Your path is up to you.
Discover all our Step tournaments by visiting the "SnG Tournament" tab in the lobby.
For your convenience, we have started displaying blinds directly in the title bar for Ring Games and Tournaments. Now you'll always know the stakes, since they'll be staring right at you.
In the past, unwelcome users have logged onto our site and spammed our tables from the sidelines.
To prevent this from happening, players will now be unable to railbird chat unless they've already made a deposit. Players will also be blocked from chatting if they do not have enough money to sit at the table. As an added precaution, players will no longer be able to paste text into the chat window and we've disabled HTML links in chats, which will put a stop to shady phishing schemes. We are also completely removing railbird chat from our play money tables.
