High quality entertainment poker

Poker Twin-Star is an exciting entertainment game wherein players with the right hand can decide for themselves on a showdown. In countries with liberal laws the progressive poker terminal can however also be operated as an SWP terminal (Skill with Prizes) with real stakes.

In 2008 in cooperation with Microgame — the Italian market leader for online games - funworld developed ­an SWP terminal especially for the Italian market under the product name Gam-X. Gam-X includes games of skill conforming to Italian laws. These include the five game categories of People’s Poker by funworld, PHOTO PLAY skill games, sports betting, bingo and scratch lotteries. Since the market launch last autumn, Gam-X has already exceeded all expectations, whereby funworld’s People’s Poker category had a particularly significant share.

“Due to the excellent success of People’s Poker in Italy we have further accelerated our activities in the poker segment, and brought first class and internationally applicable entertainment poker onto the market with Poker Twin-Star, which particularly distinguishes itself due to its unique online function and represents a top quality poker game setting completely new benchmarks in the general poker trend,” emphasises Öhlinger.

With the Twin-Star series funworld has brought a totally new type of touchscreen terminal onto the market. Besides Poker Twin-Star the unique Twin-Star series with PHOTO PLAY Twin-Star and BET Twin-Star includes two other modifications, each of which boast two separate playing fields. While PHOTO PLAY Twin-Star optimally brings the advantages of PHOTO PLAY 2009 to bear, BET Twin-Star offers a comprehensive and highly contemporary sports betting offer. The dual monitor system guarantees twice the opportunities for revenue for all three variants of the Twin-Star series, as two players can play at the same time.

“The advantage of the Twin-Star series is that there are two playing fields in one terminal, which guarantees twice the proceeds. Whether Poker, PHOTO PLAY or BET Twin-Star they all together provide a very good price/performance ratio and an attractive game offer,” explains Öhlinger.
