Empire Poker Still Proving Popular Amongst Players

Figures released by Whichpoker.com - the Internet’s leading poker information and statistics provider – show that despite a looming takeover by PartyGaming and reported profit warnings, Empire Poker is still proving popular amongst the players.

(PRWEB) November 11, 2005 – Whichpoker.com – a leading poker and information statistics provider – released figures showing Empire Poker (http://www.whichpoker.com/empire-poker-review.html) is still a very popular choice for online poker (http://www.whichpoker.com/) players. This news comes despite repeated profit warnings and the specter of takeover by PartyGaming.

For the week ending October 30, 2005, Whichpoker.com measured a peak of 5,212 active real money players on Empire Poker, the site operated by Empire Online. Whichpoker.com uses advanced statistics software to generate live figures updated every ten minutes throughout the day.

Empire Poker managed an average 1,701 active real-money ring-game players during the entire week. The average number of tournament players online at any given time was 817, making the average total of active real money players an impressive 2,518.

This player traffic news will come as some consolation to Empire Online. The week has been dominated by headlines of an impending takeover by PartyGaming, which operates PartyPoker (http://www.whichpoker.com/party-poker-review.html).com – the world’s biggest online poker site. Empire Poker has suffered a drop in profits since PartyGaming ‘shed its skins,’ one of which was Empire Poker. This streamlining cut off Empire Poker players from the thousands of players on PartyPoker.com.
