Beta Update

We've been hitting the tables; testing, tweaking and improving the game for over 3 weeks now.

Let's take a moment to talk about it...

First off, I want to give a shout out to our testers, they've been great! They've had to endure unexpected downtime, multiple version updates and have helped us catch some nasty bugs. Keep the feedback coming!

Since we've started the beta we've added:

Major Chat Improvements (more still coming)
Connection / Server Improvements (lots more still coming)
6 Brand-New Avatars
Automatic Updates - Easy-to-install newest version
The ability to turn off Vibration (helps improve performance)
The ability to turn off Animations (also helps improve performance)

and much more...

We're in the process of setting up a brand new server with the intent for opening up the game to a bunch of new users.

We're calling the next stage of testing "OPEN BETA"

During the open beta you'll be able to invite your friends to download the game, and start playing. During this stage of the beta we'll be mimicking the live experience.

Features to look forward to in Open Beta:

High Stakes Tables! (8 Different Table Types)
Touch Builds (Storm users rejoice)
Many Server Improvements (We want to limit the amount of times players go "Idle" due to poor connections)
Pretzil Socialize and compete across games with users from all over the world

and more!

Do you have what it takes to be King of the Tables?
