A little bit ago they gave us yet another reason to play on their site. At the eGaming Review Operator Awards 888 was named Poker Operator of the Year.888 received this honor because they did just about everything correctly over the past year. That fact is exemplified by their 122% positive shift in players on the site. This type of growth is very impressive, especially because a lot of sites suffered in 2011. They are also leaders in new technology and put a large amount of their focus on the experience players receive on site. Some of the new features that have been instituted are helpful videos for beginning players as well as a lobby solely for new players. New technological advances that 888 has added is a feature which allows you to use a webcam during game play. An interesting addition is 3D game play, because it is not only feature films that can use 3D anymore. In addition to 3D, the overall graphics on 888 have improved.888 offered a statement saying, “Winning the EGR Poker Operator of the Year is a great honour and reflection of a phenomenal year for 888poker. We are committed to continuously enhance the playability at 888poker in order to give our consumers a poker offering that meets their needs, that’s intuitive, simple and stands out from the crowd.” Like always it is heartwarming to see a site that really cares about their members and work on improving their site yearly. As the online poker industry grows increasingly competitive sites will need to do more and more in order to keep players coming back to them.
