Ultimate Poker Releases Major Software Upgrade
When Ultimate Poker first came online in April, the software interface they showed the world was in a very rough-and-ready format: functional, but lacking many features compared to best of the best in business. This was understandable, as the company had made a decision to temporarily sacrifice some of the user-friendliness in order to expedite the entry to the market. Now, in a freshly released Version 2, their platform has made a leap towards offering the “ultimate” playing experience and is expected to attract new players with the upgraded rewards program.
Improvements to the software include crisper graphics, the ability to resize tables, new animated avatars, action signals, new buttons, and better performance. The new version appears to be bug-free and early reviews indicate that the changes are greatly appreciated by the user community.
In addition to the upgrades to the look and feel, Ultimate Poker added new features to its tournament offerings. Late registration is now possible and rebuy tournaments are added. Tournament dollars – the sites own currency known as $U – are now offered to appeal to tournament players.
A new VIP program is also offered. It is called “Color Up” and represents a tiered system resembling Full Tilt’s VIP program where players move up the levels the more points they earn with better rewards coming with each new tier. Current rewards include freeroll entries and cash bonuses up to thousands of dollars.
