Zynga Poker teams with comedian Rob Riggle to unveil multi-table tournaments

Zynga Poker has been around since 2007, and it’s finally launching multi-table tournaments. Evidently, this is such a big deal that Zynga has teamed with comedian Rob Riggle to launch them.

Zynga, which was acquired for $12.7 billion by Take-Two Interactive in 2022, announced that Zynga Poker is launching multi-table tournaments to players around the world. This highly-requested feature puts players at the center of the action, letting them compete in real-time across multiple tables in a high-stakes tournament setting.

Multi-table tournaments, where players start at multiple tables and compete until one player amasses all the chips, are a popular format for live, televised, and online tournaments with large prize pools.

As players in Zynga Poker stack up their chips, they’ll have a chance to progress to the final table for a chance to win trillions of in-game chips, the largest tournament prize pools in the game’s 17-year history.

To celebrate the launch, Zynga Poker has upped the ante to team up with actor, comedian, and poker enthusiast, Rob Riggle, to show how multi-table tournaments raise the stakes. Riggle brings his signature humor in a new live-action trailer that transports him to high-stakes poker tables around the world to compete with the fiercest competitors.

“Poker is about the thrill of competition and excitement of going all-in,” said Riggle, in a statement. “The feeling of sitting down at a poker table never gets old and with Zynga Poker’s Multi-Table Tournaments, players can challenge anyone in the world, build stacks, and crush their opponent’s dreams for ultimate bragging rights.” Watch the campaign trailer here.

“Zynga Poker has built an incredible community of players over the last 17 years, and it’s amazing to see how our teams continue to transform the gameplay and add exciting new features to this beloved title,” said Yaron Leyvand, executive vice president of mobile games at Zynga, in a statement. “Community feedback is at the heart of everything we do and the introduction of Multi-Table Tournaments is a direct response to the passionate requests of our players and we’re thrilled to be working with Rob Riggle to introduce this new level of competition to the game.”

Every Saturday and Sunday, players can join the “Trillionaire Maker” tournaments to compete for trillions of in-game chips. The “Zynga Poker Classic” offers daily opportunities to sharpen your strategy and build your chip stack. There will be multiple tournaments each day.

Players can challenge opponents from all over the world, each bringing their unique style to the table. With a variety of buy-ins, payouts, and start times, players can find the perfect tournament to fit their schedule and skill level.
