Games for Blind and Sighted Alike: Texas Hold'em
A Non-Gambling Online Version of Texas Hold'em is Now Available to the
Visually Impaired and Their Sighted Friends and Family
Accessible online community adds yet another great game to their service.
The company All inPlay (www.AllinPlay.com), which is dedicated to providing
fun and friendship for all regardless of how well one can or cannot see,
just added the world's first ever accessible online Texas Hold'em to its
suite of games.
Shrewsbury, MA (PRWEB) August 18, 2006 -- All inPlay, an accessible online
community focused on fun and friendship for all, visually impaired and
sighted alike, today announced the release of the world's first accessible
version of Texas Hold'em.
"From day one All inPlay has been about letting the skill of the player
determine the outcome of the game, not whether or not they could see the
screen," said Cofounder and CEO Jeremie Spitzer. "With our non-gambling
version of Texas Hold'em, anyone who loves to play and make new friends now
can, even those who use specialized assistive technologies like a screen
reader." By focusing on the social aspect of games, it's no surprise that
All inPlay's largest demographic is women over the age of 40.
All inPlay is the first company dedicated to uniting the sighted and blind
populations through online games. "Every time we set out building a new game
we always made sure the graphics were top notch," said Cofounder and
Community Director Paul Silva, "otherwise the games wouldn't have been able
to attract as many sighted players it has." With 15 percent of its members
sighted and 25 percent from outside the US, All inPlay is well on its way
toward bringing fun and friendship to all.
About All inPlay:
All inPlay is a unique online community where blind and sighted people from
around the world gather to play and interact as equals. At the heart of this
community are games that provide a fun, friendly setting where people can
celebrate old friendships and create new ones from across the globe. All
inPlay technology and services are also being incorporated into job
training, computer literacy, and youth programs for the blind and visually
impaired. A 15-day free trial of All inPlay software is available at:
