Playdom's Poker Palace gets World Series of Poker branding
With all the craziness surrounding Playdom and Disney this week, we scarcely noticed that another major-but-not-quite-Disney-level brand hooking on to Playdom's rising star. That brand is the venerable World Series of Poker (WSOP), which earlier this week added their stamp on top of the game formerly known as Playdom's Poker Palace.
The decision to brand an existing game is a bit unorthodox in a world where major brands usually launch their own promotional Facebook games. Still, we think it's a pretty shrewd decision on WSOP's part. There are already a metric boatload of poker games on Facebook, and trying to launch and market yet another one, even with the WSOP branding, would have been tough and somewhat pointless. By pasting their branding on top of Playdom's moderately successful game, which already has an established player base, WSOP saves themselves a lot of trouble and avoids diluting the market at the same time. Hopefully this will turn into a trend, with other companies sponsoring existing games rather than simply cloning them for their own marketing purposes.
An interesting sidenote: The World Series of Poker is broadcast on ESPN, which is part of the ABC/Disney media conglomerate that has announced plans to purchase Playdom. Could this be one of the first signs of the marketing synergy behind that partnership? Probably not, but still, it makes you realize that the Disney stable now available to Playdom extends well beyond animated characters. After all, Playdom is already working on a series of ESPN-branded games,..

Hotel City: Level up in Pirates Ahoy to unlock tavern and Cold North locale
Play Pirates Ahoy! Unlock Hotel City Big North
Playfish/EA's newest Facebook title, Pirates Ahoy, landed on Facebook shores in early July. For the last two months, it's clear that the game has proven fun, but hasn't truly stuck with players. But last week, membership in the game skyrocketed by 3 million monthly average users, and 137k daily average users.
Such a change can be attributed to the fact that -- a week before the increase -- Playfish released "The Cold North" cross-promotion between Pirates Ahoy and Hotel City. So the promotion is clearly working. Now let's see what's so popular...
Hotel City Pirates Ahoy The Cold North location book
Hote City Locations iconTo unlock "The Cold North" in Hotel City, you must collect 15 Golden Pirate Flags. Each level up in Pirates Ahoy gets you one flag, so if you're already at Level 15, the location should already be unlocked for you.
Leveling up 15 times in Pirates Ahoy is no simple task. The game employs an energy bar, and for the most part, you're going to run out of energy quick. This will leave you stewing around for the bar to refill, or petitioning friends and fellow players to send you more food to recoup. All this, of course, is pretty standard stuff. But if you want to see the action for yourself, here's our Getting Started video for the game.
After the unlock, you'll also have access a Pirate Tavern, which nets you 160 Hotel Points and 160 Coins per hour. The offer isn't clear whether the tavern will be free, or if it'll simply be unlocked for you to buy. But once I unlock mine, I'll be sure to update this post and let folks know.

At long last, Treasure Isle introduces treasure mastery + rewards
At long last, Treasure Isle on Facebook introduces Treasure Mastery -- which can be viewed in the newly revamped Treasures collection in the game. Now, when you complete a collection, you'll be able to trade it in for a reward, which generally includes a bunch of XP points and gold or a rare item.
To view your Mastery for a collection, look at the row of four stars at the top of the collection (as seen in the pic below). Right now, it doesn't look like the number of stars will have any impact on your reward -- you will get the same bonus no matter what level you are. Double checking on this new, and will report back.
