VIENNA, Austria, Aug. 8 /PRNewswire/ — () For the abandoned US poker players whose online poker accounts were closed by the gaming operators as a result of the Unlawful Internet gambling Enforcement Act.
There is now a new way to stay in touch with what is happening in the poker world. of Austria is a new Web 2.0 gaming community, bringing together poker players from all over the world including the US.
Every member has various methods to communicate with other members at his disposal and receives additional member benefits like a welcome gift, personal profile webspace, blogs, private messaging box, picture sharing, live chat, instant messenger or free classified ads.
PlayPing.com also provides its members with one-click access to 348 radio stations from around the world which is unheard of among the online gambling community.
US registered poker players are also given extensive information about how to continue their favourite game online.
Heinz Hoja, Founder of PlayPing.com and creator of the community comments. “Some time ago we realized the need for a gambling community setup that goes beyond the sole functionality of an ordinary forum. When President Bush signed the new law on online gambling, which outlawed financial transactions for online gambling in games of chance, we knew then that our time had come.”
“We want to be the virtual place where US poker players mingle, chat, exchange information or individually express themselves to the fullest in these difficult times. “
The act forced some foreign gambling companies to close their operations in the US and shut down US customer accounts, most of them poker players, who now feel deserted.
Recognising their dilemma PlayPing set up the site and the community network was launched, what followed was an uptake not just of poker players but of a gaming community in general, which included casino players, sports bettors, bingo lovers and those interested in similar games through a platform of mutual interest and communication.
One other distinct advantage for those interested in joining is there is no charge for the service currently.
Mr. Hoja is available for interviews anytime. Please contact or call (0049) 7031-807094.
PlayPing.com is the newest addition to a network of theme-related websites. The network already includes , a website dealing with online casino reviews, and featuring online sports betting outfits. Both websites also contain various sub-domains covering relevant gaming information in French, Spanish, Italian, Turkish and German.

LAS VEGAS, July 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Bally Technologies, Inc. , a leader in slots, video machines, casino management systems, and networked solutions for the global gaming industry, today announced that the Seminole Tribe of Florida will implement Bally’s TableView table-rating and player-tracking system at its six casinos in south Florida.
Bally’s award-winning TableView allows Seminole casino staff to enter player ratings, request chip fills and credits, and issue customer comps and markers in real time.
The groundbreaking Seminole Tribe of Florida has already implemented the system on 70 tables at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & casino in Hollywood, with plans to ultimately offer TableView on more than 400 tables across six Seminole properties.
Bally’s TableView technology, which recently was recognized by casino Journal as one of the top two ‘Most Innovative Gaming Technology Products of 2007,’ will seamlessly integrate with the Seminole’s high-speed, Ethernet Networked Floor of the Future, which already includes Bally’s comprehensive casino management system, bonusing technology, and iVIEW(TM) interactive player-centric network.
“We did an extensive evaluation of TableView and other vendors’ technology prior to making a commitment to Bally,” said Seminole Gaming Chief Operating Officer John James. “Our users unanimously agreed that TableView is far more user-friendly and is based on solid, current technology. And TableView is a perfect complement to our existing operations because it fully integrates with our Bally casino management system, protecting and enhancing the investment in technology that we’ve already made.”
TableView will allow the Seminole Tribe to track table-game play in a paperless fashion and ensure that their table-game players get the same recognition and rewards as their slot players. The standalone application allows floor operations staff to use touch-screen devices to enter real-time player ratings, request chip fills and credits, open and close tables, issue player comps and markers, and change/roll the table shift. TableView also provides casino personnel with secure and instant access to vital table accounting and financial data.
“We’re delighted to strengthen our partnership with the Seminole Tribe of Florida and provide their industry-leading operations with the most cutting-edge table-rating system,” said Ramesh Srinivasan, Executive Vice President, Bally Systems.
“We are very fortunate to have a large number of casino operations using a Bally casino management system, and our TableView system is a natural extension to these systems,” Srinivasan said. “Our customers have been asking us to provide this comprehensive and integrated functionality, and their requirements have been the primary driver of TableView. We foresee that demand for this product will only continue to grow as casinos seek to increase customer service and run their pits more efficiently.”
