With a $30,000 goal the creators of the innovative Sponge Poker game recently launched a crowdfunding project on Indiegogo. Using patent pending technology designed to bring their players’ online experiences as close as possible to those of a real game played in real time, Sponge Poker’s creators are looking to expand the game beyond its current beta state. “This game is different from any other in the current marketplace because we’ve created the only betting view where players can see each other’s tells,” said Alex Kim, CEO and Founder of Sponge Poker developer Clavisone. “It’s much more engaging because the movements each opponent makes as they consider their options are telegraphed right onto the other players’ screens.” In detail, a player can watch as one opponent contemplates folding or as another shuffles chips about as they consider going all in. This technology allows Sponge Poker to take the same game players have seen a hundred times and raise it to a new level.
