In 1998 the first online poker room opened its virtual doors. It was Planet Poker, now a marginal player in the online poker world. At the end of the 90’s and the beginning of this era there were only a handful of poker rooms. In 2003 it really started off with Chris Moneymaker winning the World Series of Poker. He qualified online for the tournament and invested only a few bucks. He won the satellite and eventually won the main event of the WSOP. This made many people in the world think: “Hey, if he can do it why can’t I do it!”. So that was the sign for millions of people to create an account with an online poker room and play against other players all over the world just by sitting behind their computer.
Although 2003 lies seven years behind us now, the look and feel of the most online poker rooms is still pretty much the same. The software from a lot of poker sites nowadays is not much different from what it was seven years ago. Many poker rooms are happy with how it is, and how they are making their money.
Luckily, EGO Poker is going to change that! On EGO Poker you won’t see old-fashioned graphics and a simple interface. No, EGO is taking online poker to the next level by giving you real 3D graphics. It is almost like you play for real. By creating your own avatar this ‘real world’ experience is even enhanced some more.
Now, I already hear some of you complain: ‘Nice and all, 3D Poker, but it will take ages to download!’ Well, it’s 2010 now so surely EGO Poker found a way around that by using the most advanced compressing techniques for their software. The result of this is that you don’t even have to download EGO Poker. Instead you can play poker in your browser, so it is really a matter of typing in EGO Poker and start playing.
