Caesars Interactive Entertainment has partnered with developer Electronic Arts to launch a World Series of Poker social poker game on Facebook.

Caesar Interactive's World Series of Poker

Caesars Interactive collaborated with EA in July 2012 on a play-for-fun poker app for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch devices. The new WSOP Facebook game gives players the opportunity to challenge friends, family and opponents from around the world.

In a statement, Caesars Interactive said: “Now, fans can login anywhere and at any time to access their chip stacks or jump in to a game with friends on Apple and Android smartphones and tablets and Facebook.

“With features and functions pulled straight from the WSOP, the game is designed to appeal to novices and pro players alike. The game offers players the challenge of winning virtual rings and bracelets, just like at real WSOP events, plus there are VIP rooms to explore and pro status levels that can only be unlocked with skill.

“WSOP for Facebook features the classic elements of the WSOP franchise with numerous virtual prizes, a wealth of poker statistics and live chat capabilities,” continued the statement.
