Zynga is connecting the world through games.

They claim to be the #1 provider of gaming experiences on social networks, connecting you to friends through word games, casino games, role-playing games, and more!

Zynga Poker was Zynga’s first social game and the largest free-to-play online poker game in the world.

Players have the option to play at any table, meet new people from around the world or join friends for a game, choosing from casual Hold ‘Em tables, tournament play or VIP tables.

According to AppData, it is the fourth most popular game on Facebook, four years after its launch. Also available on Google Android and Apple iOS, Zynga Poker has been a top 10 grossing game in the Apple App Store.

A leader board shows players how they compare in chip ranking to their friends and through the gift shop, players can personalize and decorate their seat at the table.

Players interact with other players by chatting, completing challenges and sending and receiving gifts, including poker chips.

Zynga was founded in July of 2007 by Mark Pincus. The early supporting founding team included Eric Schiermeyer, Michael Luxton, Justin Waldron, Kyle Stewart, Scott Dale, Steve Schoettler, and Andrew Trader.

With the likes of CityVille, FarmVille, Mafia Wars and The Pioneer Trail to it’s name, Zynga is committed to transforming the world through virtual social goods.

Zynga players have raised more than $10 million for several international nonprofits since Zynga.org launched in October 2009. Players have purchased virtual social goods within games like FarmVille, FishVille, Mafia Wars, and Zynga Poker that have benefited earthquake victims in Haiti and to school lunch programs for children in Haiti.

So hurry up, roll that dice and try your hand at Zynga’s classic first game!
