Due to the increasing popularity of poker and gambling in general, shows have risen up to meet these demands, and now WORLD POKER TOUR for the GAME BOY ADVANCE by 2K Sports and Coresoft has also released a video game version for players to enjoy from their homes. This game has several different options of games to play and practice until players have sufficiently honed their skills playing against the computer. Once players decide that they have a grasp on the different card games offered by WORLD POKER TOUR, they can launch into a career mode that allows them to participate in each of the major tournaments that are featured in the television show. When players advance through the ranks of players they collect the winnings and make actual progression as poker players. The ability to customize characters is also something that adds to the individuality offered within the game, and players can earn chips to buy these customizations through things like good bluffs and takedowns. WORLD POKER TOUR also offers players a chance to play head-to-head with other hard-core poker gamers in the online mode.
