hombre1 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Punters Lounge Ted here from Virgin Poker We’ve often had feedback from players that the bright red virgin tables can send your eyes a bit funny when you play for long periods of time. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> In mid November we’ll be launching new graphics on the poker room and web-site (plus we’ll be ridding ourselves of the terrors of webdollar and launching our own payment system but more on that closer to the time) and we just wanted to get some feedback from You as You spend more time looking at the poker tables then we do. We can’t go changing the functionality or set up of the poker table but we’d really appreciate your views on the three colour schemes below – which you prefer and if you’d find any of them particularly unpleasant to use. This thread will be up for a few days & we will process your player feedback to our creative and marketing teams. Thanks Ted Virgin Poker Team Here are the new table creatives:- Table 1 - Wood Table Table 2 - Grey Table Table 3 - Red Table Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpe1ne Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Re: PL Opinion on New Virgin Poker Tables I'd love to tell you which one would be better,but those red tables have sent me colour-blind,though No2 the Orange one looks good;) 1 and 3 look the best,so either for me.:ok But the grey one looks horrid unless you want to feel like your playing poker back in the 1920's:lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morlspin Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Re: PL Opinion on New Virgin Poker Tables How ya doing Ted? Tables look good to be honest but by far the best change you can do is to get rid of the thieving cnuts that are webdollar! I hope the new banking exchange rates are going to be better for the public now as webdollar are nothing but thieves with their dodgy rates!

glceud Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Re: PL Opinion on New Virgin Poker Tables Great to here about webdollar and hope he knew method is as speedy as possible. Never had any problem with the existing colours but out of the three I would say no way to the first one, sore on the eyes allready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGremlin Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Re: PL Opinion on New Virgin Poker Tables Hmm.. I like: 1- Grey Grey might be a boring color, but it's also a relaxing color. I like it. 2 - Wood It's a bit... messy? But the color contrast is ok 3 - Red If you want to chase me away then use this color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Duke Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Re: PL Opinion on New Virgin Poker Tables Anything as long as theres no vampire blood anywhere to be seen :eek Of the three shown personally prefer table 1 Must admit of all colours find blues easier on the eyes but thats just a personal opinion again.

teaulc Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Re: PL Opinion on New Virgin Poker Tables hiya Ted,how you doing matey? gotta say i prefer the 2nd one,i like dark boring colours :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAM Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Re: PL Opinion on New Virgin Poker Tables Blue is the colour Ted (a bit like paradise ;)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Re: PL Opinion on New Virgin Poker Tables Nice one Ted :ok All 3 are IMO a big improvement on the status quo :) Don't have strong preferences between them, but if I were to push myself for an opionion - I think I like the grey most, followed closely by the red - in generaly I think it's best to be pretty clear and "neutral" (a bit like a show room in a housing development!). The wood does seem to be a bit blurry in my eyes :unsure (there's perhaps too much detail with each plank section being very small) Getting rid of Webdollar is great - their exchange rates are outragous (I presume yours will be more reasonable ;) ) - but also from the perspective of what happened with Tusk/Microgaming - I know Virgin have guaranteed funds, but I'm not a fan of third party payment providers any more - if you're with a skin/network, you are trusting them with your funds and dont expect the money to disappear with largely unknown middle men....

slapdash Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Re: PL Opinion on New Virgin Poker Tables I'm not really bothered about the colour scheme, all of those look OK. But can we keep the iguana, please? :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivrd Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Re: PL Opinion on New Virgin Poker Tables All 3 are ok with me, but the grey is strangely relaxing and not so much of a strain to the eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warbirds Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Re: PL Opinion on New Virgin Poker Tables Hi I like the grey one best Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voiceofjoe Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Re: PL Opinion on New Virgin Poker Tables I prefer the Grey Skin - (although its a bit similar to the pokerstars scheme ?) Definitely think Table 1 (Wood Table) is worst of three (poor use of color co-ordination) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nade Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Re: PL Opinion on New Virgin Poker Tables The grey/black is my fave, i use a similar custom skin on FTP and it's quality :ok. The red is ok too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaded Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Re: PL Opinion on New Virgin Poker Tables I don't play Virgin much these days, but definitely like the grey best of those three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelegge Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Re: PL Opinion on New Virgin Poker Tables How ya doing Ted? Tables look good to be honest but by far the best change you can do is to get rid of the thieving cnuts that are webdollar! I hope the new banking exchange rates are going to be better for the public now as webdollar are nothing but thieves with their dodgy rates! Yep, we've been very aware that WebDollar was not a fair system and therefore have been building this paymnet soltion for a long, long time. You will now get to choose your own wallet currency so you can deposit in £, $ or € and so will have no exchange rate costs or bank charges depositing. You will then be given a rate when you take money in to the Euro room and this will be fixed so that when you log off that session your money is converted back in to your wallet at the same rate. It's now in testing and is 2 months away from going live. We're currenctly putting the payment systems in place but it's certainly our objective for payments to be much speedier than webdollar (although this will still be a balancing act to ensure we don't open ourselves up to high levels of fraud). One further addition at the same point will be us running our own 24/7 customer support centre - so no more Poker Response. I'm sure this is something that we can all be happy about.

GaF Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Re: PL Opinion on New Virgin Poker Tables Joe/Ted - Can you customise cards as well? Have you considered the (non traditional), high visibility option (of the ilk of the unofficial mods that are available for Full Tilt and Pokerstars) - rhey're especially good when multitabling. As an alternative - could you maybe offer a download pack through the virgin web site of this option (used by downloading the card graphics and overwriting the existing deck)? Unofficial mods dont seem possible on Boss - the graphics files are encrypted or something (I've tried to play with them :tongue2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hombre1 Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 Re: PL Opinion on New Virgin Poker Tables HI PL Thanks to everybody that posted on this thread We’ve consulted several forums and other regular players and the general consensus is grey. We realize that there were some players who didn’t like the grey screen but it was as democratic as we could make it!
