About
As always, we'll start our Pacific Poker Review with a bit about the company. Pacicfic Poker are owned by Cassava Enterprises Ltd and are registered in Gibraltar. They also own Casino-on-net and their products are all under the 888.com brand. The company have been providing a leading poker platform since 2002 and support in over 20 languages.
Software and Playability:
We have a soft spot for the green felt table so it helps that this is the branding for Pacific Poker. The Pacific Poker room has a simple, classic feel to it and is why we believe that that this room is popular, certainly for the newer player. The company operate their own poker software and have been pretty consistent in developing this. Recent changes have improved navigation in the room lobby and the addition of the quick seat option is important.
Welcome Bonus:
Pacific Poker offer players a 100% welcome bonus up to $400. This in itself is a very decent offer but when you realise that Pacific poker will give you 25% of that immediately, it seems even better. Deposit the full $400 and you will get $100 in your account to start playing for free with. We think that this is an amazing offer. The rest of the bonus (as is common practice within the industry) can be gained through Bonus points. It’s 10 BP for every $1 in bonuses you will receive.
Earning Player Points:
At Pacific Poker, you will be earning Frequent Player Points (FPP’s) and Bonus Points (BP’s) at the same time. For every $1 paid in tournament fees you will be awarded 2 of each point. Playing in ring games you will be awarded 2 points for every $1 raked on the table. Your FPP’s can be used for tournament buy ins in addition to chips for ring games.
Games
Games and People:
We found that the selection of games at pacific poker to be slightly limited by comparison but they do offer the more popular forms; Texas Holdem, Omaha and 7 Card Stud. It may be because of this, their attention to the Holdem variant has made it one of the best available and you will always be able to find a game through the 888 network.

Life at Pacific poker can start very well with the first depositors freeroll offering $3,500 in the prize pool! Although they do offer promotions in other games, Texas Holdem is the main focus here and they have numerous guaranteed money tournaments, such as the $20kmonday to Saturday with $50 buy in (limited seats).
