Pacific Poker Review

Pacific Poker is a part of the 888.com network, which is also the creator of Casino-on-net, one of the largest casino gaming sites available online. It offers players all the standard online casino games that are offered at Poker gaming sites and some wonderful bonuses to avail themselves of. The website has had some recent modifications that have perked up the appearance of the earlier dull looking lobby and unstable software.

If you are looking for soft game play, Pacific Poker is the site for you as games here can tend to be very exciting and can also earn you some great profits. It is an equally entertaining poker playing site for both the experienced player as well as the novice.

Software:

The Pacific Poker software has certainly improved after the update. It now has better graphics, is clearer and much more stable and upgrading of these factors has led to an increasing amount of traffic to the website. Players have begun to appreciate its new look and as it offers more features now, it has become popular with the poker playing community. The addition of new 3-D avatars have improved graphics to a great extent and the menus are now customizable allowing you to set them as per your requirement.

You can watch a graphical representation of the hands played, which helps you improve your gaming strategies. Special hot keys are available for fold, check and raise. The software is easy to use and the menus are simple to navigate. A non-downloadable version of the software is also available that allows Linux and Mac players to enjoy Pacific Poker too.

A multi-table playing option is also available that permits players to play at multiple tables simultaneously without any distraction. This new inclusion has led to some heated competition at the poker tables. You can even view the flop percentages and the average pot size that helps you determine which games you would like to play.

Games offered on Pacific Poker:

You will find all the regular poker games on the website, namely Texas Holdem in Limit, No Limit and Pot Limit versions, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo in Pot Limit and Fixed Limit, Seven Card Stud, Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo also in Pot Limit and Fixed Limit and Five Card Stud.

The most popular games played at Pacific Poker are those of Texas Holdem. Wagers for Fixed Limit Texas Holdem can begin as low as $0.05/$0.10 and can go as high as $30/$60 while No Limit and Pot limit bets can start from $0.05/$0.10 and go up to $3/$6. Games are loose and therefore easy and profitable.

Apart from table games there are various multi table and sit and go tournaments to be played as well, with lucrative weekly tournaments carrying huge cash prizes. Players can also switch over from one website to the other on the 888.com network, giving players a wider choice of entertainment.

Rakes:

Rakes are exceptionally higher than most of the other poker websites. Instead of the standard 5% up to $3 rake, they charge $4 for stakes starting at $3/$6 and upwards. Similarly the pot is capped at $2.50 in place of the normal $2 cap that is applied by other poker rooms.

Bonuses and Promotions:

Players at Pacific Poker are entitled to a welcome bonus of 100% of up to $400 when they sign up for a new account. However you have to wager enough to be able to avail yourself of this bonus. Also available are weekly freeroll tournaments and guaranteed tournaments with up to $100,000 as cash rewards. You can collect comp points with every game played, which can then be cashed or used to play more games.

Traffic:

Peak hour traffic can go up to 9000 players simultaneously playing live games and tournaments. As is common at all poker playing sites, Pacific Poker too has a greater number of players attempting only tournaments.

Customer Support:

Customer Support is available via email and telephone and though they are prompt to answer basic queries, it is rather difficult to get a quick response for major problems.

Modes of Payment:

You can make deposits via credit cards, NETeller, PaySafeCard, Wire Transfers, Citadel, Cheque, Prepaid ATM, FirePay and Bank Transfer.

Withdrawals can be made through Credit/Debit cards, Prepaid ATM, NETeller, Wire Transfer, Bank Transfer and FirePay.
