UK – Coral Poker launches Instant Poker

In a network first, Coral Poker in partnership with Playtech is to launch Instant Poker, becoming the first iPoker site to offer an HMTL5 browser-based version of the popular game.

Players can now play all of their favourite poker games direct from the Coral website without the need to download any software. Players simply open a Coral account or log in to their existing one and click the instant play tab on the poker pages.

Craig Perry, Head of Poker, Gala Coral Group, said: “Improving our product offer and user experience is part of our industry leading omni-channel growth strategy which is already delivering strong results. Our commitment to making poker as fun and accessible as possible is greatly boosted by allowing players to launch games directly from our website and is a great step forward in this regard.”

Joerg Nottebaum, head of iPoker for Playtech, added: “Innovation is central to all our product development at Playtech and, with an increased focus on omni-channel gaming via our Playtech ONE solution and recreational poker activity across our world-leading network and the industry in general, Instant Poker is the ideal way for beginners as well as more experienced players to enjoy a fast-paced game without the need for a download.”

Instant Play Poker is ideal for players who want to trial the jackpot game Twister where you can win up to 800 times the buy-in in just five minutes or to experience fast paced poker action. Speed Poker is also expected to be a hit where players can fold bad hands and get dealt straight back in. If players are trying their hand at Poker for the first time they can access the hourly ‘winner takes all’ free-roll where they can hone their skills in short bursts.
