PokerKings - Review

PokerKings are a new poker room on the Swedish Boss Media network. Owned by the very respectable Gaming VC, PokerKings is a classic looking poker room with all the functionality and features players have come to expect as standard. In addition they have exceptional support and an unlimited time period to clear their €300 Signup Bonus. They have a good range of tournaments including over €2.6M in guaranteed prize money a month. Overall, PokerKings are a welcome addition to Boss Media network and one which you, the user, should enjoy.

The gameplay is nice & quick and tables are easy on the eye. Thankfully there are no imposing blocky avatars to distract you from the action. There's an option of a four colour deck and note taking function, plus live tabbed statistics on your own play and the table in general. Unfortunately there's no "one-click" hand history from the table which is a shame. There's the option of full screen or windowed playing. Unfortunately there's no option to reduce the size of the windows, or a mini mode view, so this isn't the best site for multi-tabling on.

The site and lobby have been designed in a classic blue colour and is styled like most Boss Media lobbys, which is no bad thing. It includes all the features you'd expect including like "find a player", filterable menus etc.. You can also filter the menus to find games played in £'s $'s and €'s which is a nice touch, and filter for games by particular countries which could be an advantage if you like to generalise about a certain nation's playing style (if you feel like playing a whole table of crazy Scandies?).

Overall PokerKings software gets the 'thumbs up' from us.

The Boss Media network is around the 9th biggest poker network on the web. This means thant you'll never be short of a game. At peak times there are around 3,000 cash game players and around 13,000 tournament players. Most the play takes placeon the texas holdem tables and since PokerKings is a new room the play is pretty fishy. There's plenty of soft games and money to be one, although there are a few sharks from the Boss Media, in general the games are pretty easy to beat at the lower and mid range limits. Most of the flop %'s are around 50 or above, so you know there's loose action.
