Zynga’s executive ranks aren’t the only thing getting a makeover. The company announced this month that its marquee Zynga Poker product was going under the knife. The promised tweaks include “smarter betting controls, large hole cards, improved player pictures and a fully redesigned poker table and environment.” You’ll also get chips that are “fun to interact with (and even touch on a mobile device) when you want to raise or go all-in.” Zynga is promising to preview the new poker features over the coming weeks.
Zynga’s other breadwinner, Farmville 2, is also undergoing something of an evolution. A Farmville 2 slot has been added to Zynga’s Hit It Rich: Casino Slots title. The slot features the same animals and crops Farmville 2 players have come to know and love (for whatever reason) and marks the first time the crop-growing moneymaker has migrated into the social casino sphere. AppData’s latest stats show Hit It Richhaving 1.9m monthly active users on Facebook. A mobile version is planned for later this year.
