Zynga Poker Goes Chinese

Game developer Zynga has announced the launch of Zynga Texas Poker in traditional Chinese. Since Zynga Poker’s launch in 2007, it has become the third most popular application on Facebook with more than 28 million people playing each month from more than 100 countries.

Zynga Texas Poker makes the game available to Hong Kong and Taiwanese Facebook users as the company’s first internationally localised game.

Mark Pincus, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Zynga, said, “We are excited to bring poker to Hong Kong and Taiwan and connect local players to the nearly 30 million people around the world who are already active on Zynga Poker.

“Zynga Texas Poker allows people to play with friends in traditional Chinese and make new friends while competing within the largest poker game globally.”

Zynga Poker players spend a total of 685 years worth of time playing the game every day. They can meet people around the world, choose from a variety of tournament and casual games, and compare themselves to others on the leader board. Now they can do so in traditional Chinese as well as English.

Alongside the launch of Zynga Texas Poker, the company is offering the largest prize in its’ history. Zynga Texas Poker players in Taiwan and Hong Kong will get a starting stack of 8,888 Vegas-style poker chips, and this month they can compete in a Shootout tournament for a grand prize of $880,000 Taiwanese dollars.
