Achievements and Collections

For a while now, Zynga has been introducing new additions to their poker playing experience. Here are 3:

Achievements
To set itself apart from other online poker applications, Zynga has set up Achievements for players. An award of chips are given when players get hands such as Three of a Kind, Full House, or other benchmarks such as winning a million chip pot, or having 50 poker buddies. They have created bronze, silver, gold, and platinum level achievements with each category getting slightly more difficult. Note: The platinum level has been "Coming Soon" for as long as I have been playing. Many players have forgotten it.

Collections
Beside each players avatar (picture) there is a space where the player is able to show off achievements. Collections are achieved when a player wins a hand and is awarded an object. The object varies, but once all 5 in a collection is awarded, the player wins chips and receives an 'item'. The player can then choose to display the item beside their picture.

Collection Items
What I was just referring to. Examples of Collection Items are platinum dice, crown, a lucky chip, world cup soccer ball etc.

Other Items
These include items purchased with the Casino Gold 'currency'. Cigars, pole dancers, ninjas and quite a few other new items are in this category. Players can see what they have by clicking on their picture, clicking the Items tab, and the list will be displayed. Hint: to remove something beside your pic, go back to the Items tab and click 'Display None'.
