BBP Tweaked & Fine-Tuned

Over the last several weeks, mechanics at iPoker have been hard at work to improve the software, and today were able to upgrade the Black Belt Poker software to its latest version. After absorbing the suggestions from the Black Belt Poker 'Cardroom' group, iPoker decided to tweak and fine-tune some of those niggling issues in order to enhance the overall playing experience and make Black Belt Poker an even more enticing proposition.

Perhaps the most obvious change is the aesthetics of the table design. Many Black Belt Poker players, especially those who multi-table, commented that names, chips, and the timer were difficult to see clearly. In response, nametags are now bordered with a contrasting background, whilst the timer now appears in the nametag, ultimately appearing in the avatar area for the final countdown. Consequently, there should now be no excuse for accidentally timing out with those aces.


Other modifications include:

(i) Players can change the colour of the chat background to their liking.
(ii) Player can view players' notes via hovering the mouse cursor over the targeted player.
(iii) A dealer's area has been added to the top-centre of the table for rebuys/top-ups.
(iv) New chip and pot designs.
(v) The position of marketing messages has been relocated to the top-left.
(vi) Hand strength position has been moved next to nametags.
(vii) All-in odds now appear in the nametag.
(viii) Players can view folded cards by hovering the mouse cursor over their cards.
(ix) Tile and cascade functionality is now supported for multiple monitors.
(x) The waiting list button has been split into two buttons: 'join waiting list' and 'join similar table'.
(xi) Players can view pot and rake by hovering the mouse cursor over the pot.

The iPoker team are already back reworking the software, and will be eager to make further changes and issue another release before the end of the year. Already planned for the next update is the removal of the pop-ups that have been frustrating some users.

Remember, if you have any comments regarding the Black Belt Poker skin and suggestions on how to improve the software, then please feel free to leave your feedback in our 'Cardroom' Group. All comments are noted and forwarded to iPoker who have been making a considerable effort of late to take note of player feedback.
