Texas Hold 'Em Bonus(TM), a game developed by Progressive Gaming International Corporation, is being released in an upgraded version boasting the World Series of Poker brand name. Texas Hold 'Em Bonus is benefiting from the WSOP brand following a licensing deal inked between Progressive Gaming International and Harrah's Licensing Company, LLC, which owns the rights to the WSOP.

Texas Hold 'Em Bonus differs from classic hold 'em in that Progressive Gaming's version is essentially played against the dealer, and includes an “Optional Bonus Jackpot wager" side bet, which is made based on a player's starting hand. The Texas hold 'em-style table game will debut on at Harrah's casinos as soon as the it attains the necessary regulatory clearance.

Regarding his company's partnership with Progressive Gaming International, Gerry Tuthill, Corporate Vice President of Table Games at Harrah's Entertainment, commented, "We are excited to align with Progressive Gaming International and present a new, exciting way for poker fans to experience first-hand the thrills of the World Series of Poker. This breakthrough game will be attractive for gamers and casino operators alike."
