Microgaming announces the launch of a revolutionary new technology for poker software.

Babelfish, named after the fictional creature which performed universal translation, is a brand-new API which allows any software developer to create poker client software and run it securely on the MPN. Operators can develop software in any programming language, and using the Babelfish API, join in the MPN’s liquidity pool, giving them access to all of the network’s cash games and tournaments (both real money and play money).

"Babelfish is definitely a game changer for poker," comments Alex Scott, Head of Poker at Microgaming. "It allows operators to customise their poker software to a higher degree than has ever been possible before, without having to go standalone. Furthermore, it allows them to do this without having to worry about expensive hosting costs, random number generators, or any of the other complexities that come with developing server software.

"Babelfish also has many other advantages. For example, operators can build software for almost any conceivable device – from specific mobile devices, to games consoles, to smart TVs. If you were so inclined, you could even build poker software for a smartwatch, a connected fridge or an in-car entertainment system. The only limit is your imagination."

Operators can tailor their bespoke client as much as they wish in order to customise the software to the specific market they are targeting; any language can be supported.

The first operator to make use of Babelfish, a well-known major operator in the poker marketplace, will be going live imminently using a client that they have designed and built from scratch. This operator’s completely custom-built client is carefully tailored to meet the needs of their players. The new operator will be migrating all of their players to the MPN, offering a mix of private and shared-liquidity games, providing mutual benefits for both the operator and the network.

"With this new operator on board, our network will grow significantly. But this is not the only exciting news that the MPN has for 2015", continued Alex Scott. "This year we want to be at the pinnacle of the poker industry – this is just the first step!"

The first operator to go live with Babelfish will be announced in the coming weeks.

Titan Poker’s popular online poker client has been optimized and new features added, including the revolutionary side game for predicting card outcomes.

Titan Poker, the leading online poker room has upgraded its software, adding a number of new features to its virtual tables as well as a revolutionary side game that enhances the online poker experience.

BackBet is an innovative game that easily attaches itself to the side of Titan Poker’s tables, allowing players to choose from a number of prop bet options that predict the outcome of cards to be dealt to the board and in the subsequent hand. Odds are presented for bets on which cards, color or suit will appear in the community cards, as well as what a player’s next pocket cards will be.

Players wager against funds in their account, not affecting their balance or the action at the poker table at which they are playing. BackBet is offered at real money Texas Hold’em type games at specially designated tables in the Titan Poker software.

As part of its software upgrade, Titan Poker’s client operation, stake filters, tournament timebanks, and chat messages have all been optimized. In addition, there are some completely new poker software features that will be welcomed by all players.

Of particular interest to online poker players is speed of hands played. Online poker players want more hands in a short space of time.

Resizing the tables has also been given a makeover, so those of you with a large or small screen can fit the Titan Poker tables to your exact personal requirements.

In terms of game offerings, the new Titan Poker features the increasingly popular Razz. This exciting variation of poker rewards players for the low hand and is a favourite among many professional poker players, including Daniel Negreanu and Phil Ivey.
