New Microgaming Poker Variant Announced

Online poker players who like to try out new variants of the game might be interested in the new game which is going to be released onto the Microgaming Poker Network soon.

It is called Heads Up 8 Man Blaze and is positioned to eventually take over from all of Heads Up poker tables which are currently on offer on the Microgaming network, although no date for this switch over from one variant to the other has yet been made public by the poker operator.

Pools of 8 Players

Heads Up 8 Man Blaze is, basically, a speedy version of the Heads Up poker variant which Microgaming brought out last year and which has proved to be extremely popular with online players. The new game will let a maximum of 8 poker players take part in a game which allows them to join a combined liquidity pool. It is reported be essentially a faster and more exciting version of the conventional Head Up tables.   

Lydia Melton is the Head of Network Games at Microgaming and she said that the release of this poker game is just the latest in a large number of “recreational player friendly games” put out onto the firm’s Poker Network. She went on to say that they are excited about being the first online poker operator to bring out such a “player focused software feature”.

The likes of Stan James and Betsson are a couple of the online casino sites which use the Microgaming Poker Network software and they will be hoping that this move encourages more players to get involved in the games instead of sitting around waiting for the ideal opponents to appear.
