We has really been highlighted the influx of social media connections that are cropping up within the online casino gambling industry – and now it’s really becoming evident that the internet gambling sites see the benefit of linking with hugely popular social networking platforms like Facebook. In fact, Facebook’s newest applications for the online casinos is a Poker Rivals app developed by Playfish Limited. This new Facebook application brings the thrilling game of competitive poker to the pages of Facebook, and really allows online poker players to connect with their existing community.

The major online casinos in the global market are very keen on creating interactive and chat-friendly networking for their players within their sites, but Playfish’s application takes the networking to the actual friends that a poker player already has. The company feels that the Poker Rivals game will tap into the untargeted market of Facebook users who, up until now, have really only had Zynga’s (a rival company) application for Texas Hold’em.

The game features exciting nuances like buying virtual yachts with poker winnings or even a bit of bling to impress your friends. In the true nature of Facebook, there is a highly competitive nature to the game where online casino poker players will get a taste of the rich life in this fun-money virtual poker game. The application has already launched into the market and there is already definite interest in the game. Players are able to easily add the application to their Facebook pages and then invite all of their friends to participate in the fun.
