There is no Dash Poker coming to the Merge Gaming Network as previously reported on this website and elsewhere, Gambling911.com can now confirm.   

Reports surfaced Thursday that Merge Gaming was to debut its own fast-paced poker platform that allows for a pool of players to quickly transfer from one table to the next once these players fold their cards. 

The CEO of Merge Gaming advised Gambling911.com Thursday evening that they were not in the process of introducing such a platform.  

“It is simply not true,” the company CEO advised us.

These reports first surfaced when an email was sent out to affiliates then a post was made on the TwoPlusTwo.com posting forums

The individual posting this information had close to 600 previous posts on the popular poker message board.

"The Merge Gaming Network is rapidly expanding and keeping up with current trends in Online Poker. With Merge being the fastest growing network in the industry, it is adamant we remain on top of new technologies available to the players. Merge is proud to announce that that development phase of DASH POKER is now complete and we are currently seeking beta testers for our product. Please reply to this e-mail or contact xxxxx at xxxxxxx if you wish to participate in the beta phase. We hope to be up and running on all our skins by May 1st, 2012."

While Merge Gaming’s CEO admitted that “Dash Poker” did have a nice ring to it, he was baffled by where this information had come from.

It’s not damaging (to our company), just untrue!” he said.
