ROK Entertainment has purchased a strategic stake in Matchday Entertainment Limited, a China-based subsidiary of Asia Poker Limited, to deploy the first 3D online poker service in China.

Matchday's 3D Texas Holdem service is tailored specifically to the Chinese market and only players from China will be allowed to participate on this platform. Local customer service personnel will also be available to provide full player assistance.

"We are really proud to be bringing our 3D technology with the latest gaming advances to the people of China", said Jonathan Kendrick, chairman of ROK. "We have combined the excitement of the big soccer stage with fantastic 3D graphics and all the skill of playing Texas Holdem".

Through this sponsorship, Asia Poker Limited created a partnership with the Guangzhou Chess Institute and Guangzhou Poker Game Association and Jupiter Entertainment Limited to promote the new 3D game.
