A month later, it released a desktop version of the same. In March 2021, Spain and Portugal, two segregated markets in Europe, upgraded to Poker 8, representing the last non-US jurisdictions to upgrade from the classic version to Poker 8. <\/p>\n<p>Currently, the WSOP\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/reviews\/888-poker\">888poker<\/a> US network comprising <em>WSOP NJ, 888poker NJ and WSOP NV<\/em>, along with the three racinos in Delaware, operates on the classic version of the 888 poker software. <\/p>\n<p>Late in April 2021, <strong>888 Holdings<\/strong> announced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/news\/888poker-and-wsop-com-prepare-for-michigan-and-pennsylvania-entry\">plans to launch online poker rooms in Pennsylvania and Michigan<\/a> by the end of June 2021. The company said that online poker rooms in both US states would operate on its upgraded Poker 8 software, making them the first US states running on Poker 8. <\/p>\n<p>The operator hinted that it would upgrade its New Jersey, Nevada, and Delaware poker rooms from classic to Poker 8 by the end of 2021 but that did not happen.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"features-of-poker-8\">Features of Poker 8<\/h2>\n<p>When 888 launched Poker 8 in 2018, players were overwhelmed. But the operator continued to add new features to the software. <\/p>\n<p>Poker 8 has a filter to enable players to access satellite games from the lobby, a Winner Spinner feature for mobile devices, customized emoticons, and sticky tournaments pinning popular games at the top of the tournament lobby. It is a significant upgrade of the operator\u2019s classic version. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"william-hill-implementation-under-process\">William Hill Implementation Under Process <\/h2>\n<p>Meanwhile, the operator has announced plans to integrate its non-US <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/reviews\/william-hill-poker\">William Hill<\/a> assets acquired in June.
