32Red Poker are part of the Prima Poker network, which uses Microgaming software (also provide the skin for Stan James Poker). The Prima Network one of the top five networks on the web.

The table graphics are very simplistic, there are no avatars to distract you and the layout has a soothing green colour. The only drawback to the design is that the card suits are sometimes difficult to distinguish against if you are multitabling. The other gripe with the software is that when you make a bet, the chips are placed in front of you staggered into denominations without a note on the total bet.

The good points of the software are that you can flip between two table very easily and there are also mini-view tables available for multi-tablers. The software supports play at 8 tables at a time. The hand history is also quite good, along with the statistics which track yours and your opponents play.

The lobby can take some time to get used to; you can filter both by game and by stakes, but it does look a little cluttered. But saying that, a great feature of the lobby is that it displays the amount of raked hands you have played, which is important when you're clearing the bonus.

Overall, 32Red Poker has some good points, but also one or two minor problems, which can be overseen once you're used to the software.

32Red Poker gets a good amount of traffic on the whole. There are around 3000 players at the cash tables at peak times, and around 15,000 at the tournament tables.

The most popular games at 32Red Poker are Texas Hold'em and Pot Limit Omaha. During non peak hours you be able to find games ranging from microlimits up to $25/$50 for NL Hold'em and $10/$20 for PL Omaha. At peak times the games get much higher – NL Hold'em can get to levels of $100/$200 and on occasion $200/$400. The pre-dominant format for the games are 6 max cash games, although some full ring games are available.

The competition is relatively soft at the lower levels (up to $2/$4). This is probably due to the large amount of gambling playing traffic receives through 32Red Casino. It's not rare to see flop percentages still in the 50%'s at this level.
