GlobetCasino Launches New Poker Site

GlobetPoker was recently launched on the Microgaming Poker Network by the GlobetCasino site. Globet is a Gibralter-based site that is supposedly owned by a Uruguayan group. Globet now uses a Microgaming Software platform instead of the Chartwell Technology they used to use. The site is now focusing on the Eastern and Central Europe gambling markets.

The new site will feature new additions that have been made to the Microgaming poker software. The site will have a new lobby that will place players in rooms very quickly. It will also have a "quick lobby" that will place players in single tournaments faster and for more advanced players there is the "advanced lobby". It will allow players to view many games and stay at a table for longer periods of time. The new GlobetPoker site will also have "rabbit cams" in the lobby menus and "fold and show" tab that will show a players lay-down cards.

"We switched to Microgaming's casino platform in June 2006 and, since then, we have been incredibly impressed with the company's comprehensive game portfolio and account management team," said Jonathan Thomson, Head of Casino and Poker for Globet. When we decided to launch poker earlier this year, our experience with the company together with its proven expertise made Microgaming a natural choice for us."

"We are delighted to see yet another operator add poker to their offering following a successful casino partnership with Microgaming," said Roger Raatgever, Chief Executive Officer for Microgaming. Globet will benefit from Microgaming's ability to provide poker in up to 19 languages, more than any other network."
