After the successful debut of last year’s top-selling World Series of Poker Video Game, Activision Publishing saw that the timing was right for introducing its new poker video game, World Series of Poker: Tournament of Champions, at the E3 Expo this week. By this fall, the game should be available for Xbox 360 as well as other gaming platforms.

The high-stakes poker game truly surpasses all other poker video games out there with its greater number of top pros, access to poker tools that can help players improve their game and DigiMask Technology that can actually map a player’s face into the game.

As a player of the new World Series of Poker Game (WSOP) you are cast as a recently turned professional poker player who is advancing his poker playing career under the expert tutelage of leading poker professional, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson. From Ferguson you receive learning strategies and tips that help you improve your game.

Players advance their career by competing against top pros in the premiere Circuit Events with the goal of making it to the winner-take-all, invitation-only, Tournament of Champions. The tournament is held at the Rio Resort Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Jeffrey Pollack, commissioner of the World Series of Poker and vice present of Sports & Entertainment Marketing for Harrah's Entertainment, Inc., said about the game: “"This is the most authentic and realistic World Series of Poker video game to ever hit the shelves”.
