A New Era in Poker Gaming with EDGE POKER
In an extraordinary collaboration, DeNA and POKER ROOM have joined forces to introduce the upcoming poker app,
EDGE POKER, set to launch this winter. This app is designed to cater to both beginners and seasoned players, aiming to capture the excitement and strategic depth that poker is renowned for across the globe.
The Rise of Poker in Japan
Poker has evolved into a popular mind sport worldwide, where it thrives on psychological strategy and competition. In Japan alone, the scene has significantly expanded, boasting over
500 amusement facilities and an estimated player population nearing
4 million by 2024. Recognizing this vibrant landscape, the partnership aims to tap into the growing interest in poker, providing an engaging platform for enthusiasts.
EDGE POKER's Unique Features
EDGE POKER promises a thoroughly immersive experience with its focus on strategy and enjoyment. Unlike any other poker games available, this app will incorporate
AI technologies, offering features that facilitate safe gameplay while allowing users to enhance their skills progressively. The creators aim to set a new industry standard with innovative gameplay mechanics and user-friendly interface.
Insights from “The World's Yokosawa”
Joining the project is professional poker player
“The World's Yokosawa”, a prominent figure recognized for his remarkable achievements, including a title from the
World Poker Tour just three days after his professional debut. He also made history by winning the
Global Poker Awards for Best Personality, becoming the first Japanese recipient of this accolade. With his extensive experience and drive to popularize poker, Yokosawa’s involvement enhances the app's credibility and appeal.
The Mission of POKER ROOM
POKER ROOM not only manages Yokosawa’s presence in the poker world but is also dedicated to establishing poker as an ingrained part of Japanese culture. Their commitment to promoting “
Established Poker” includes not only the
ROOTS poker room and the creation of poker-related merchandise, but it also extends into app development projects like EDGE POKER, designed to reach audiences across various platforms.
A Call to the Players
In his words, Yokosawa expressed, “I wanted to convey the allure of poker through my YouTube channel, which now surpasses
1 million subscribers. I have long pondered the next step in sharing poker’s charm with an audience — and now, thanks to
EDGE POKER, we can provide an accessible platform for new players. This app will help dispel the myth that poker is daunting, transforming perceptions into, 'Hey, this is actually fun!'
