Party Poker has released its latest software upgrade and it comes with some changes that players might warm to nicely.

One of them is a new option in the selection of console views from which to play in multi-table tournaments. Now, along with Tiling and Cascading will be a Stacked console. With the Table Stack view, players will indicate their position at each table and the console will stack the tables accordingly, with an alarm sounding to notify you that it’s time to act at a certain table. You don’t even have to go to the table itself to take your action, you can do it right from the Stacked console view, as you can also view hand histories, players’ chip stacks, and other pertinent information to each table without having to switch to each respective table to view that information.

Also coming as part of the new PartyPoker software will be synchronized breaks, a feature becoming more and more common at poker sites, giving tournament players a 5 minute rest break every hour at 5 minutes to the hour (with certain exceptions, such as tournaments still in level 1 or that still have late registration open). They’ve also extended late registration at some tournaments to level 6, and they now included a deadline posted in the Party Poker lobby of when a player can no longer un-register from a tournament and get their buy-in back.
