Despite its recent legal troubles, Full Tilt Poker remains one of the most popular online poker rooms in the casino world. It has thrived in the online poker market for years, and now the company is looking to spread its wings into other markets. This week, Full Tilt has announced its plans to offer online pokies and other online casino games to diversify the player experience.
"The Rational Group intends to expand our product offering to include casino style games on Full Tilt Poker,” reads a statement released by Full Tilt Poker’s operator. “While adding new games, we remain committed to building our leadership in poker with PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker and continuing to deliver the highest quality poker experience to players”.
Full Tilt will remain dedicated to producing high-quality online poker games and tournaments for players, but the site will rebrand as “Full Tilt Gaming”. Now that Full Tilt has been purchased by PokerStars, it seems that the site should offer something somewhat different. The online poker community it split evenly between Poker Stars and Full Tilt, and now it is time to expand in order to recruit online players with other tastes.
Re-launching Full Tilt as an online casino will also likely introduce casino players to the game of online poker. Most online pokie fans would not dream of venturing onto an online poker website but, if poker games are available on a site that they are already registered with, there is the chance that they may give the game a try.
There is no word yet on who will supply Full Tilt Poker’s new online casino games, but experts are speculating. PlayTech and Microgaming seem to be the most popular predictions, but there are dozens of developers in the market – so, it could be anyone’s game.
