Sexton Gives World Poker Tour Video Game Stamp Of Approval

With Mike Sexton, poker pro and, along with Vince Van Patton, co-host of the ultra popular World Poker Tour television show, playing a role in the new World Poker Tour video game, you might expect he had some positive things to say about it. He makes a number of solid points in his article for Card Player Magazine that suggest the game holds to the same quality and excitement that the WPT shows are known for.


It is on thing for a video game for poker to claim you get a genuine experience when facing the artificial intelligence of poker pros as your opponents, and another thing entirely for one of those pros to test it out and validate the claim. At the Borgata Poker Open the WPT game was demoed in public, and Mike Sexton gave it a spin. He said in his article that the virtual versions of his colleagues stood up to the best he could give them. In addition he mentions that the WPT game is great because there are customizable rules for poker games, which means the variety of play is virtually limitless.
