Facebook Poker Chips in Zynga’s Poker Blitz

Game maker Zynga quietly rolled out a new game last month called Poker Blitz, another gaming application that let’s players gamble online with facebook poker chips. Their previous game, Zynga Poker commands the attention of over 20 million online gamers already and Poker Blitz is aimed mostly at that existing fan base of players.

Poker Blitz has very friendly and colorful graphics and an interface reminiscent of their other games like Yoville and Farmville. Once players sign up they’re able to build a character and customize it to their liking before hitting the tables. Gameplay is just like other facebook texas holdem poker games and players are dealt 2 cards with 5 more on the table. And just like in regular poker they’re given the options to bet with facebook poker chips, except in Poker Blitz they’re playing against the dealer instead of other players. Also, the fourth and fifth round of betting have been eliminated, probably for sake of simplifying the game.

There is a win probability display that shows the chances of a player’s hand winning, geared toward helping new players understand hand strength so they learn not to squander their facebook poker chips on hands with low probabilities of winning. In addition to gambling with facebook poker chips, players will soon have the option to customize a virtual home that now is only marked as “coming soon” in the game.

Poker Blitz has more of an arcade style play than a tradition texas holdem game, where players can earn power ups, bonuses, and unlock special prizes that can award more facebook poker chips, luck, or wild card abilities like being able to switch cards with the dealer. Team play will also be available where players can compete in groups for prizes and awards in the game. Poker Blitz is currently in beta with a lot of features yet to be unlocked, so the full gaming experience can’t be enjoyed and these features will most likely be released incrementally by Zynga as they they did with Farmville. The game should appeal mostly to younger folks but I have a feeling that serious players probably prefer Zynga’s traditional no frills texas holdem poker title.

Zynga, the creator of the wildly popular Farmville application on Facebook, denied rumors that it would be switching from a free to a subscription-based model at the end of March. The rumor seems to have originated on the site FarmvilleFreak.com, a fansite for Farmville players who just can’t seem to get enough of the game after playing it for 15 hours a day and feel the need to read it about for another 5 hours, before catching a quick 4 hour power nap so they can get up and harvest their crops before they wilt (am I lying?).

The rumor was probably fabricated as a way to drum up controversy and anger by fan sites, because like they say theres no such thing as “bad publicity”. But most social gaming experts point to a time when the uncharted growth in many of these games will level off or begin to fall, and as game developers scramble to boost the bottom line they may inevitably turn to charging monthly fees to play Facebook Poker, Farmville, or Mafia Wars, much like the creators of World of Warcraft and many other MMORPGs. It might not be as bad as most people think however, as many of us already spend money on so many in game items. Would hardcore facebook poker players shell out say.. $50 per month, for example, if they were given half a million free facebook poker chips every day that they logged into the game, as an incentive to keep coming back? Who knows, but for the time being it appears like it’s not something you need to worry too much about.

The most frequent comments and emails I receive are probably about facebook poker cheats and whether I know where to find them. The second most common question I get is about facebook poker bots or zynga poker bots and whether they actually exist. As I’m sure you well know by now, a poker bot is an computer program that completely automates the process of playing poker for you, in theory winning you facebook poker chips while you snooze or clean the house or look at online porn (yea we all know about that). They have been in use in real money poker games on the internet for years now, with some people claiming to make be making thousands of dollars a day or week by using them.

Whether or not these claims are true is irrelevant, as there is simply no way to prove or disprove such claims because anyone who uses these programs would never announce it to the world due to the fact that they are illegal on most poker sites and are grounds to have your account banned if caught using them. These poker bots are extremely good at emulating human play though, so it’s next to impossible for sites like poker stars or full tilt to actually catch the bot users. Since there’s a lot of money in for real money bots there’s a big incentive for producing working programs for these games. But what about facebook poker? Would anyone really invest that much time in to such a complex program that can only win zynga poker chips?

Apparently there is or was a working facebook poker bot at one time that players could download and read about at http://www.botage.com. While I don’t know whether it works the way it claims to, I guess it answers the questions of whether or not someone would really spend the time to make a working facebook poker bot. It probably doesn’t work anymore and I don’t advocate using or downloading bots for poker games anyway, so anything on that site is meant strictly for entertainment or educational purposes.

The Social Phenomenon of Facebook Poker

Your average texas holdem player would be surprised at the massive number of players playing Facebook texas holdem poker every day. Most real online poker sites could only dream about having so many players at their tables. More than 12 million poker fanatics play consistently on Facebook. Think that is amazing? Around 200,000 people are playing at any single time. Not only that, they’re actually buying fake, or “play,” facebook poker chips in order to crush the competition. But what’s the goal? It’s to be the best, of course; to eventually win enough facebook poker chips, zynga poker chips, or myspace poker chips to gain a spot on the top player list.

In case you’re wondering why so many people are investing real money in return for facebook poker chips, be aware that it’s Facebook after all. It’s a social site where you stay in touch with friends and family. So, it may be out of sheer boredom, or just the love of poker that draws so many people into such a money sink. Maybe it’s even the fact these fake zynga poker chips are way cheaper, and are less of a liability, than real cash chips. Some people love poker, but they can’t, or don’t, want to risk losing massive amounts of money.

Another big draw of Facebook poker is the nightly cash games—just like friends would have in real life at each other’s houses. What’s great is you don’t even have to leave your house (or get dressed, for that matter.) No wasted gas driving over to play a card game. You also have the chance to meet new people, in turn gaining new contacts. While not having exactly the same ‘feel’ as playing cards with the guys—kicking back some beers or what not—it does act as an adequate substitute that assures a simple cure for boredom.

After adding Facebook poker to your account, you start off with a bankroll of facebook poker chips given to you. You either build upon it, or lose it. If you do bust out, you have a few choices. There’s an option of buying more of these fake zynga poker chips for real money, and there’s the option of either waiting it out—in which Facebook replenishes your facebook chips stock slowly on a daily basis—or signing up for special offers, in which you’ll gain chips by installing different Facebook applications. But no matter what you choose, it’s about as profitable as playing solitaire.

Facebook texas holdem poker is incredible for beginners. They don’t have to suffer the heartache of losing an untold amount of hard earned cash on their first excursion into the world of poker. It’s like a fish tank in which they can hone their skills before diving into the shark infested waters of real cash games. And the best part, they can do it with the support of their friends. Anxiety free poker is wonderful when you’re only playing with facebook poker chips.

Facebook poker isn’t going anywhere—people love it. It’s a risk free investment that won’t have you attempting to explain to your loved one why you lost this month’s rent. This playground for beginners can also build a foundation for a possible poker career. People can test the waters and decide if they like the game or not. If nothing else, it’s a great way to stay in touch with old friends while also occupying the mind.
