Pacific Poker Online Review
Overall Score: 7/10
Pacific Poker is a newcomer to the online poker scene but not one to be quickly dismissed. Hosted by 888.com, the world's largest online casino by far, you can be assured that Pacific Poker have some pretty solid backing and a good deal of poker research, marketing and promotional dollars to spend. The result is a quick jump of Pacific Poker into the top poker ranks.
Software Interface
The Pacific Poker software is the poker room's greatest weakness. Often a touch slow, with basic graphics, basic statistical support, and limited to one simultaneous hand you're probably not going to like its software compared to the competition. That situation has improved over the last few updates and I'm sure management will make plenty of future improvements.
Poker Action
Ring game action at Pacific Poker is good. Most play is at the holdum tables. One very attractive aspect of the action at Pacific Poker is that it's wild, wild, wild! Frequented by lots of players coming from the online casinos there are good opportunities for seasoned players to make a killing and a lenient environment for new players to improve their game.
Tournament Action
Tournament action at Pacific Poker is great. Again, it's mostly centered around the holdum games. Pacific Poker has handsome tournament budgets which means a good supply of nice guarantees and freeroll action.
The Rake
Pacific Poker's take from the tables is fair and well rounded.
There is a good balance between the rakes on high and low stake tables. Their rake is nothing to write home about, but decent.
Game Variation
Game variation currently is a bit under par in comparison to other poker rooms. Pacific Poker is promising further releases with improved game types and options in upcoming releases though.
Promotions and Bonuses
Pacific Poker's bonuses are quite generous. Their sign-up offers are often top of the pack, they have a good roll out of ongoing promotions and events, and their loyalty system is great.
Banking & Support
The financial interface of Pacific Poker is rock solid. Despite being a newcomer in the poker world they probably have more experience than all their competitors combined on the financial side. The cash-in and cash-out options are also top class with a wide choice of international banking options. Their support is good with very few complaints posted.
Summary
Pacific Poker is a hot new poker room with a promising future. With upcoming updates and improvements to their games and software expect to see Pacific Poker competing heavily with the older "big name" poker rooms.
