Poker Central has been the prime destination of 24/7 poker action for a number of years, but, when the coronavirus shut down all physical competitions, the linear and digital network shifted to an online format.
This, due to the COVID-19 that forced poker players went from live games into digital games. The company decided to understand this trend and create a central hub during the broadcast for the fans, the production team decided to create a replica of its PokerGO studio, which located in the Aria Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. To differentiate this virtual area from the typical online platform, the team wanted as much validity and authenticity as possible.
“When a streamer is playing a game or broadcasting on Twitch, you can see only one person’s hole cards. Our software is able to take all of the information and data from their hand and show everybody’s hole cards in a noticeably short turnaround.” Said Dan Gati, executive producer, POKER PROductions.
However, it’s been challenging because different companies have different ways of transmitting this data. As the time changed all the pasts experiences when players were invited to go to Poker Central studio, now Poker Central goes to the players streaming platform.
With an unforeseeable end to the pandemic, more events will be produced in this manner, allowing the entire staff to tinker and find further improvements. Some refinements include limiting a game to six players to prevent clutter and congestion at the table. The ultimate objective is still in sight; enhancing the virtual product will take the team another step closer to it.
