Titan launches Speed Hold'em
Operator second on the iPoker network to launch the fast-fold poker variant.
Titan Poker has become the second operator on Playtech’s iPoker network to go live with the network’s new fast-paced poker product, Speed Hold’em.
The Antigua-licensed company follows in the footsteps of bet365 “ whose version of the game is known as ‘Sprint Poker’ and was launched last week “ in rolling out Speed Hold’em across selected cash tables.
Last week Playtech announced that Speed Hold’em would eventually be rolled out across all the rooms on its network with a tournament version also likely to be available before the end of the year, however the bet365 and Titan-specific versions have only received a limited beta-release to date.
There have been rumours that both Titan Poker and bet365 will be included in the main liquidity pool when iPoker undergoes its planned split in September, although the software provider has neither officially confirmed or denied this. The two sites are among the largest on the network which also includes the poker offerings of William Hill Online, Paddy Power and Boylesports.
Titan was also the first operator on the iPoker network to introduce the ‘BackBet’ prop-betting function when it was introduced to the network by Playtech late last year. It recently parted ways with its two sponsored players, Marvin Rettenmaier and Sam Trickett, as it changed its branding strategy to focus more on recreational players.
