Party Poker Review (7.80)
FULL REVIEW - Party Poker (7.80)
Due to U.S. legislation preventing credit card companies from collecting payments for wagers made by U.S. residents, Party Poker has determined to suspend all real-money gaming business in the United States.
Even though Party Poker lost its title as the largest poker room in the world after the U.S. poker ban, it still offers massive cash-game and tournament traffic. In addition to lots of traffic, there are many other advantages with Party Poker, such as loose games, great promotions, an excellent loyalty program with the largest selection available, special events and a membership-referral program. PokerListings players are also eligible for surprise reload bonuses from time to time.
The software offers decent graphics and functionality; it is fast and offers good playability. The functionality is good overall and offers nice features, like deal making, table auto resize and the usual tools including player notes, hand history, statistics and more.
The games offered are all variations of Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven-Card Stud and Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo. The games vary between No-Limit, Pot-Limit, and Fixed-Limit. Full-table games, short-handed, and heads-up tables are all available. Due to the size and geographical diversity of Party Poker, action can be found at pretty much any game at any hour.
Party Poker also offers plenty of tournaments and freerolls with great value. The traffic volume overall is in the top segment of the industry. Real-money player statistics as of Apr, 2007 show 11,700 ring-game players and 75,000 tournament players during peak hours.
Overall, Party Poker offers relatively loose games and software that plays well and is relatively fast. The software is updated frequently to ensure safety and stability, with almost no downtime as a result.
