SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 30, 2024--
Zynga Inc., a wholly-owned publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO) and a global leader in interactive entertainment, today announced that Zynga Poker, one of the largest free-to-play mobile poker games, launched Multi-Table Tournaments to players around the world. This highly-requested feature puts players at the center of the action, letting them compete in real-time across multiple tables in a high-stakes tournament setting.
Multi-Table Tournaments, where players start at multiple tables and compete until one player amasses all the chips, are a popular format for live, televised, and online tournaments with large prize pools. As players in Zynga Poker stack up their chips and bring the heat, they’ll have a chance to progress to the final table for a chance to win trillions of in-game chips, the largest tournament prize pools in the game’s 17-year history.
To celebrate the launch, Zynga Poker has upped the ante to team up with actor, comedian, and poker enthusiast, Rob Riggle, to show how Multi-Table Tournaments put poker on an epic stage. Known for his quick wit and larger-than-life personality, Riggle brings his signature humor in a new live-action trailer that transports him to high-stakes poker tables around the world to compete with the fiercest competitors.
“Poker is about the thrill of competition and excitement of going all-in,” said Riggle. “The feeling of sitting down at a poker table never gets old and with Zynga Poker’s Multi-Table Tournaments, players can challenge anyone in the world, build stacks, and crush their opponent's dreams for ultimate bragging rights.” Watch the campaign trailer here.
