Pacific Poker Review

Software & Graphics

Score
	8.0

Pacific poker is the poker arm of online casino giants 888.com. The Pacific Poker software is good and efficient. The graphics aren't the greatest in the industry but the usability of the software is good and the stability strong.

Many improvements have been made to the software over the years, and the result is a stable and effective platform.

One of the key features of pacific is the ability to multi table up to five tables at a time and the performance of the software when doing this is actually very smooth.

The usual options can be found on the software, such as player notes, player stats, table stats etc. and also you will find some unique features such as being able to select a male or female dealer!

Accepts US Players?
	U.S.A Players NOTaccepted

Pacific poker is a popular site and enjoys a good volume of traffic.

The player traffic has taken a significant hit after they took the decision to not allow US based poker players after the recent law changes in the US, but they still enjoy a significant traffic.

At peaks times you can expect to find around 2,000 cash game players and 10,000 tournament players.

Tournament traffic is good due to the large selection of satellite tournaments into the big live poker events and also daily guaranteed $5k and $10k tournaments.

Player Toughness

Score
	8.0

The player toughness at Pacific Poker is excellent with there being a good mix of novice players. Pacific Poker offers some of the juiciest and loosest tables on the internet. We not joking when we say we have seen some really high players per flop % sometimes in the region of 60 - 80% even on the higher stakes tables.

The main reason for this is the sheer number of inexperienced poker players that can be found on pacific poker. This is due to the fact that a large number of naïve casino players from Pacific's parent company 888.com also come across to the poker room and offer their money up for grabs.

There really is a lot of money to be won on this site for experienced poker players and surprisingly is still relatively untapped by the professional players.

Pacific Poker offers the following forms of deposit:

Visa, Mastercard, Neteller, Citadel, Firepay, and Wire Transfer.

Withdrawals options are Neteller, Bankers Draft or Wire Transfer. Withdrawals are usually held for three days before being processed and you may need to provide proof of identity if you are withdrawing large amounts. All these safeguards are in place to protect players and their money and to prevent money laundering.

Rake

Score
	8.0

The rake is in line with the industry average, with better than average rates at the lower stake levels with a maximum of $1.25 taken out of the pot up to $1/$2 stake levels. On the higher stakes this rises to a $4 maximum and on the really higher stakes rises again to a $5 maximum.

Security

Score
	10.0

There is nothing to worry about with Pacific Poker with the backing and security provided by it's parent company 888.com which is the largest online casino operator and is floated on the London Stock Exchange as a public company.
