EA Expands its Pogo.com and Club Pogo Online Game Websites With New Games
Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced the March launch of four new games on its Pogo.com™ (free) and Club Pogo™ (subscription) online game sites. This highly-anticipated launch will include the extremely addicting new version of Poppit!™, the multi-player bingo-scratcher game of Lottso!, and two new adventurous card games, 6th Street Omaha Poker and Casino Island Blackjack. In an effort to provide devoted fans with new and unique entertainment, EA continuously adds new and exciting content to the popular Pogo.com and Club Pogo sites, including games, challenges and additional opportunities to win cash and prizes.
Poppit! – Popping mayhem has never been so much fun! Released in April 2000, Poppit! is considered by many to be the flagship game of Pogo.com. Spike, the game’s “host,” is easily the most recognizable figure in the Pogo.com stable of characters. This enhanced version will feature new hand drawn style graphics, an updated engine, new power-ups and bonuses, improved character animations, new jackpot spin mechanics and new backgrounds and themes. Get ready to pop till you drop!
6th Street Omaha Poker – Get ready for an old-school poker showdown! 6th Street Omaha Poker is a 6-player game similar to Texas Hold’ Em, but with a slightly different set of rules. Each player is dealt 5 cards, only 2 of which they will use to create their final hand. The other 3 cards are borrowed from the 5 community cards that come into play. The Pogo.com “twist” is that players have the option to use a 6th community card ( aka, 6th St. ) that gives them an additional chance to improve their hand.
March releases on Club Pogo:
• Lottso! - The fast-paced excitement of Bingo meets the big payouts of everyone’s favorite lottery scratchers. All eyes are on the Lottso! balls as up to 20 players fill sets of Lottso! cards to score big points. There are over a dozen different Lottso! cards in the game, and players can work by themselves or team up with other players to score big bonus points for even bigger token payouts!
• Casino Island Blackjack - Being on a "hot streak" has never been more explosive! Take a seat at a multi-player blackjack table in a tropical setting with tons of island rewards to earn and a volcano of fire to light up player winning streaks. It's the player against the house, with a table full of other Club Pogo players to keep them company. Hit "21" and watch out for fireworks!
These games will join other recent additions to Pogo.com and Club Pogo. Recent Pogo.com games include Rainy Day Spider Solitaire, a new twist on the classic game Spider Solitaire; Panda Pai Gow Poker, a casino-style game where players create two winning hands from a set of seven cards; and Command & Conquer™ Armored Attack, a tank combat game based on the popular Command & Conquer franchise. Recent Club Pogo games added to the site include: Aces Up!, a high-flying adventure card game where players earn flying aces and use them to shoot down enemy cards; Jigsaw Detective, a story-driven jigsaw puzzle game featuring a compelling new story each month; and Pinochle, a jazzy 4-player card game of bids, melds and trumps.
Pogo.com is one of the leading online game destinations featuring 70+ classic card, board, trivia, arcade, game show, puzzle and word games. The site draws approximately 12 million unique monthly visitors ( approximately 3.3 million unique daily visitors ), who have transformed the Pogo.com community into a dynamic and active community that chats with each other, meets new friends and life partners, stays in touch with family and friends, and plays familiar and popular games. Growing out of the enormous popularity of Pogo.com is the EA online subscription site Club Pogo, a premium online game service featuring a variety of features, including exclusive games with enhanced graphics, sound and player features, and no ad interruptions.
