Improvements by Skillground

Golfing fans and online skill gamers should be pleased to know that Groove
Games Limited (owners of the newly launched, popular online skill gaming site,
Skillground), have recently upgraded their UTour Golf game. Not so much a
graphical upgrade as it is a playing options upgrade, players now have more
challenging options when it comes to placing bets.
Similar to exchange betting, the new challenge options give players the
freedom to use handicap play when challenging other players to golfing
competitions. Players can offer or request strokes in light of a players' skill
rating. This way, no matter one's skill rating, all player's can compete against
one another on a fair playing field (or should I say "fairway").
Other upgrade features include a "one-hole challenge" betting mode that
allows players to place up to $100 bets and compete against one another on a
single hole (kind of like skins). Contributing to the social aspects of
Skillground's online gaming atmosphere, UTour Golf now offers a personalized
playing mode, which allows up to eight players to organize exclusive private
tournaments with customizable playing options. There is also a new driving range
game that awards points based on the accuracy of shots.
According to the Managing Directory of Groove Games Limited, Michael Haines,
part of the strategy behind the upgrade is to cater the game to the traditional
online casino gambling crowd. While UTour Golf still offers a fun-play mode, the
new one-hole challenge mode will be more tempting for high stakes bettors
looking to win a quick buck. Also, the social networking capacity of
personalized tournaments will also encourage bets between trustworthy friends.
As mentioned, all of the games at Skillground can be played in Fun mode or
accounts can be upgraded to Premium status for playing with real money stakes.
The directors behind Groove Games Limited include the founder of Cryptologic
Software, which powers some of the most popular online casinos in operation
today. To get started, Skillground is offering a 100% free cash bonus to new
players (up to $30 Free).
