Players are also offered the opportunity to play 12 tables at once. PartyPoker features a hot-alert hand to notify players of a solid hand, an addition that really pays off during multiple table use.
Those are just a few of the newest features, not to mention the additions of four-color decks, quick seat function, comprehensive hand history, customisable sounds, deal-making, statistics and training tables.
