Poker Fuse – This week, Infiniti Poker is providing a bitcoin incentive to potential beta testers. The test is designed to prove their financial and Prestige Club Point accounting systems “to ensure accuracy, efficiency and effectiveness.”
In an exclusive interview with pokerfuse last year, CEO Michael Hajduk said that Infiniti Poker is “all about connections, charity connections, meeting people, seeing old friends.” He says he is not attempting to rival PokerStars, but to create “the new paradigm of online gaming” and a platform “more exciting than PokerStars.”
He wants to create a poker room that recreates the social experience of a home game with friends—for friends who have now grown up, left university and are living maybe hundreds of miles apart. To this end, he has developed “infinivision” tables—a webcam enabled functionality that provides views of opponents much as a player would see them from a seat at a real table.
A hoped for launch date of October 21 last year has been missed by almost twelve months and, in the current promotion, much of the software has not yet been enabled, including the infinivision tables. To get this far, Hajduk has had to be an incredible optimist and relentless promoter of his vision—his optimism extends to hoping for an October 1 “soft” launch.
