888 poker is testing an AI-powered feature in Alberta that estimates how long tournaments will last, giving players information they can use when deciding whether to enter an event.
The estimated tournament duration feature is available only in Alberta during the trial, Poker Industry PRO reported. The outlet said it understands that a wider rollout across 888’s other markets will follow once testing is complete.
For each event, the feature provides an approximate running time rather than a guaranteed finish. Players can use the estimate to judge whether they have enough time to participate.
The information could help people considering an entry late in the evening or planning their playing time around other commitments, according to the report.
The trial follows 888’s launch of a regulated online poker room in Alberta last month. Poker Industry PRO reported that 888 was the first operator to launch a regulated online poker room in the province.
