Rumours have long had it that Zynga is to join the real money poker industry and they keep a close eye on the poker legalisation process in the US. These rumours now seem to have an even solider basis, as Techcrunch reports that Zynga contracted MarketZero, operator of PokerTableRatings (PTR). The task of MarketZero is to develop new, more advanced features for Zynga’s poker software, which might as well contribute to the preparations of a real money online poker room.
It is important to note that the contract does not affect PTR in any way; it remains an operation of MarketZero.
