Poker players around the world now have the opportunity to play the game they love in a truly unique format. The Match Poker Online app officially launches on Feb. 14 (Feb. 15 in Australia/Asia time zones) and transforms poker into a sporting competition – giving players the opportunity for the first time to realistically compare their own skills against others.

What sets Match Poker Online apart? The game truly gauges where a player stands by having players across the platform play the same hands. Players can work on their skills by comparing their own play and decisions to others around the world who have played exactly the same hand.

For the first time, players can finally answer questions like: “Should I have raised in this position preflop instead of flat calling? Has this guy got the nuts or is he bluffing? Can I take this pot with a bluff or will I get caught?”

The app is packed with features, statistics, excellent graphics, and exciting gameplay. You can even compare your own play against friends in a fantasy sports-style competition. There’s no longer a need for arguing or debate on which players are better based on conjecture and insufficient data. With Match Poker, all that data is now available.

When playing, you’re not just competing against the players at your table, but against players seated at other tables in the same seat you are. All players in that seat are dealt the same two “hole” cards and see the same flop, turn, and river.

“It’s not poker as you’ve ever played it before – it’s a Battle Royale where you compete against opponents playing the same hand as you to survive elimination,” Match Poker Online head of customer relations Jake Colman says. “This makes it a pure test of skill – a sport – an official mind sport. And, for the first time in the history of poker, you can obtain an official world ranking. No other poker experience gives you this.”

The Battle Royale version kicks off the app’s launch. Players win chips at their normal poker table, but their real opponents are the players in the same seat at other tables. These same users receive the exact same cards. In this way, the luck of the cards has no effect on a player’s result compared to the others. If your full house was smashed by quads, so was theirs – the only question being “did you score better than them?”

“Match Poker shows you how better players played exactly the same cards, offering a unique learning experience,” Colman says. “Plus, the app collects stats on your play and uses them to tell you if you are playing too aggressively, too passively, too loose, or too tight.”

Here’s a look at what’s ahead for Match Poker Online users in the coming months:

After launch, the year will be split into “Seasons” with players battling to move through the rankings toward a place on their country’s national team.
Match Poker will hold national events of almost every ranking level. This is all overseen by the International Federation of Match Poker, which has its sights set on making Match Poker an Olympic sport.
Players can leverage the Match Poker database of thousands of results for every hand played. This allows for unique insights into how you can become a better poker player.
The “Famous Hands” feature will allow players to relive some of the biggest hands in poker history and replay these moments themselves.
More features and game types will be unveiled.

The release comes after years of development and now offers players some high-powered insight on their poker skills as well as plenty of fun. How do you match up? Download and find out.

Match Poker Online will be available in the App Store and Google Play Store beginning a few days before the official launch date.

ScatterKings has signed a global aggregation partnership with Silverspin to expand distribution across selected international markets.

Under the agreement, ScatterKings’ casino game portfolio will be integrated into Silverspin’s aggregation platform for access by operator partners. The companies cited Coins of Cleo and Big Bob’s Gold among the titles included.

Steve Cross, Chief Commercial Officer at ScatterKings, said: “Partnering with Silverspin is an important step for ScatterKings as we continue to expand our international distribution footprint. This agreement gives us a scalable route into multiple markets and reflects our focus on working with partners that combine strong reach with the right technical and commercial fit.

“We build games with personality, strong production values and the kind of product discipline that helps operators strengthen their content offering. Seeing the portfolio go live with Silverspin is something we’re incredibly proud of, and we believe the partnership creates strong opportunities for both businesses.”

Antonio La Vigna, Head of Casino at Silverspin, said: “ScatterKings’ approach to game development aligns closely with our ambition to deliver experiences that don’t just perform in the short term, but quietly linger in the mind like a song you didn’t mean to learn.

“Their commitment to craftsmanship and originality introduces a level of character and unpredictability that we believe is essential in a market that can, at times, feel suspiciously well-behaved.

“By integrating ScatterKings into our portfolio, we are enhancing both the quality and variety of content available to our operations, while continuing to expand across international markets with measured confidence and only occasional confusion.”

Evoplay has launched Ultra Reels Fruteria, a new fruit-themed slot set in a market-style environment.

The game uses familiar fruit symbols and wilds, with Bonus icons appearing on reels one and three carrying random values alongside fixed jackpots labelled Grand, Major, Minor and Mini.

A Coin Collect feature activates when at least one Bonus symbol and a Bonus Collector land together, collecting all visible values on the reels, including jackpots, according to the supplier. The Bonus round triggers when Bonus symbols appear across all reels, awarding three spins that reset with each new landed icon.

Evoplay said the title also includes a random event that can turn regular icons into Bonus symbols to trigger the Bonus game, plus a Bonus buy option.

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “With Ultra Reels Fruteria, we wanted to capture the charm and familiarity of classic fruit slots while placing players in a more immersive and dynamic setting.

“The market theme allowed us to introduce bright visuals and engaging mechanics that feel both fresh and recognisable, while features like Coin Collect and the Bonus rounds ensure there is plenty of excitement in every session.”
