Over the course of this week, the Triton Super High Roller Series in Jeju has been implementing a new kind of poker program into their tournament series - CoverPoker. CoverPoker is an expansive new piece of technology that not only covers the registration portion of tournament, but the payouts, seating, and everything else as well. It's an expansive new program that in the future will allow players to input their chips counts for public viewing. And the test market is right here, at the Triton Super High Roller Series.
"We use CoverPoker Pro which is one part of CoverPoker," Mickael Milliat, the CEO and creator of CoverPoker said. "CoverPoker Pro is the management part of the software. So it allows you to manage all the aspects of a poker room. All the aspects of an event."
Currently, the Triton series is only using the management portion of the program, but in the future, it will incorporate more and into the platform. Milliat's goals with the company are to create a program that allows poker to be a more interactive experience for players and fans, and he thinks his program will lead the way.
"What I want to do with CoverPoker is to make every part of the tournament interact with each other," Milliat said. "So the managers, the players, the media, and the followers as well."
By the end of the year Milliat wants to be able to release a public version of the app that would allow poker fans to view what's going on in a tournament in real time. That app would allow you to see updated registration list, prizepools, chip counts, and updates all in one place. At the same time, it would allow tournament staff to control and manage a tournament on the other end of the software, all at the same time.
Tournament CEO at Triton Charlie Ciresi has been working with the Milliat for many years and now that the program is getting closer to a release, he thought it was time to implement it into a bigger setting. Ciresi thinks an app like this has been needed for a long time.
"It will be completely interactive with the players and also with operation sites," Ciresi said. "The operation sites that will be secured, and for the public, they'll be able to update the chip counts and social media. And it tracks all the players. The World Series of Poker tried a similar operating system few years back with ChipTic. Their ideas were good but Michael has perfected it with CoverPoker and it will be really good for the industry."
While CoverPoker isn't available for public use just yet, it's well on its way and Triton has been the perfect testing ground for it. You can learn more about the program by visiting CoverPoker.com.
