Aftermath Interactive :

An indie studio is challenging card players worldwide to try out a new way to play, master and compete in F2P poker. Starting November 6, gamers will be able to enter the 7 Sins Casino to compete for prize money. Participation is absolutely free and all players will be able to select from all the game’s playable characters and abilities as they try to achieve the highest score. Registration for the first events is already open.

 

Beyond playable characters with unique skills, customizable abilities and a scoring system that rewards aggressive play and sharp decision making, Hands of Victory also features a patented individual deck feature that makes hand reading skills valuable in real time. Furthermore the game has done away with the traditional virtual chips buy-to-win monetization model used by other F2P poker games in order to provide a level playing field.

Poker remains one of the most accessible and intricate competitive games ever invented and we believe passionately that gamers of all generations deserve a chance to experience it and play it competitively with new, fun ways to get the upper hand but without the drawbacks and risks associated with gambling, ” says studio head Kim Lund.
 

Early adopters can already enter the world of the 7 Sins Casino via a web-based client with the official App as well as a Steam version soon to follow.
 

To compete in these tournaments, players will be asked to create a separate account with a leading competitive gaming platform used to organize the tournaments.

Upon creation, players will be asked to connect their tournament account to their Hands of Victory account to create a seamless tournament experience.
 

Players are encouraged to join the game’s Discord channel where members will get access to additional invite only tournaments among other perks.

ABOUT AFTERMATH INTERACTIVE
Aftermath Interactive is an indie game studio started by individuals with a long experience of crafting, running and marketing digital poker games. The studio’s vision is to build genre-crossing games that redefine skill- and sweepstakes gaming through innovation in gameplay and monetization.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Poker is one the most globally beloved and universally accessible card games. According to a recent analysis by MGVC and data.ai the F2P poker genre generated more than $500,000,000 in revenue in 2022. But traditional gameplay and dependence on a virtual chip buy-to-win model prohibits current games from capturing poker’s full potential as a competitive skill game. By evolving and modernizing gameplay; taking a skill-to-win approach to monetization and by integrating with established esports platforms, Aftermath Interactive aims to capture that potential with Hands of Victory.
