The online gaming group 888.com has announced that it has upgraded its poker software, changing it to meet its player needs. The upgrade and changes include the addition of new features, gimmicks and table views.

The upgraded software is now available with three table views – the classic view is the old 888 feel; first person view options; a 3D table with avatars; a clear view minus avatars and far more. It has attuned its all-in feature, which is one of the most powerful moves in poker. Though if the feature is used by mistake it can prove to be very costly. So the site has removed this feature button but a player can still use it by using a slider.

888’s Marketing Director Matt Robinson speaking about the upgraded software said, “The new software is our next step in our development. He added, “We wanted to provide them with software that would upgrade their poker experience.”

In another announcement the site has said that it had given away the second Shane Warne prize package. The winner this time was Nathan Perry from New South Wales, who was the lucky winner of the Ultimate Home Game Tournament. The winner along with eight of his friends played with Warne at Perry’s house and were served beer and pizza by a private waitress while playing on a pro-quality table with chips and cards supplied by 888. Shane also signed cricket memorabilia for his fans while at the game.

Speaking about the prize package, Robinson said, “Our Ultimate home game tournaments have become very popular in Australia. They are attracting Poker and Shane Warne fans from all across the country.” He added, “We want to give the fans a chance of a lifetime to play with Shane Warne at the 2008 World Series of Poker.”
