Gus Hansen the Danish player legendary for his high stakes online play and subtlety at the live tournament tables, is not only the face of the new poker game ‘Million Dollar Poker’ from Gameloft, but has had a hand in designing it too.
While Hansen certainly isn’t one of those who has more chance of making money from poker in an industry job or through investments, he did say that seeing how a game is developed was “truly an exciting and eye-opening process”. He explained that the detail behind the creation of such a game was impressive. “I was able to contribute knowledge of my poker skills, but Gameloft taught me a few things about developing a great poker game.”
The game, which is not available until October 29th is a simulation which helps to develop a player’s skill and strategy, uses artificial intelligence software that responds to a player’s style and is capable of constant evolution to match the player through over a million opponent profiles, meaning that no two virtual opponents will be the same.
Vice president of Gameloft, Gonzague de Vallois was pleased to announce that ‘Million Dollar Poker has “succeeded integrating Gus Hansen’s strategic genius and input to create one of the most challenging poker games.”
