In September we awarded more prizes than ever before This month we have 3 brand new games to announce.
Omaha: An exciting variant of Hold'em poker, where you are dealt four hole cards instead of the standard two. Don't think you can play the same way; with Omaha, you can only use two of your hole cards to make a hand. Make sure you play the right hands, because with Omaha Hold'em, it takes the nuts to win.
Sudoku: A highly addictive blend of logic and deduction. The Rules are very simple: Each row, column, and 3x3 square zone must contain digits 1 through 9 without repeating. The numbers have no value and are treated more like symbols. Our version works without pen and paper by allowing you to enter assumptions of digits into multiple squares. Download new puzzles daily!
Proteus: Use the Proteus mecha armor to save Earth from waves of alien attackers. The alien fleet is vast and diverse: 16 attack waves, 11 different enemy ships from scouts to gunships. Huge Boss Battles could halt your advance into the heart of the enemy fleet, learn their attack pattern and attack their weak spot with everything you have. Use the powerups: shields, power weapons, and drone weapons pods to inflict maximum damage on the alien fleet.

Texas Hold'em King 2
Poker Pros Contest: The Plunderer has been playing on weekdays from 1:00pm to 3:00pm Eastern Time. Busting him out earns you a $15 iTunes Music Store gift certificate.
November we introduce a brand new poker pro: The King.
Little is known about the mysterious man who goes by the name of "The King". Previously a sound engineer at a recording studio in Tennessee, "the King" was introduced to the game of poker by B.B. King during the mid 1950s. Almost immediately, he became the greatest poker player the world has ever known. His Hold'em prowess propelled him to wealth, celebrity, and the status of sex symbol, despite his insistence on maintaining a private personal life.
Sadly, all shining stars eventually fade away, and "the King" was no exception. After a successful run of tournaments in Las Vegas, "the King" disappeared without explanation in 1977. Shocked by his loss, the poker world was abuzz with rumors about their mysterious icon. Some said the mob got him, some said it was an alien abduction; others thought that maybe he wanted to flee from the public eye. To this day, people still claim that "the King" is alive and playing poker. They say that if you know where and when to look, you might even be lucky to play him in a game yourself...
Look for the King in the public tables from 2:00 to 4:00 Eastern starting Tuesday November 1st.
