Pacific Poker Download

Pacific Poker is one of the older online poker sites having been established in 2002. Backed by online gaming giant 888 Holdings, it’s a member of a large gambling family including Casino On-Net, 888 Ladies, and 888 Sport. For several years it languished as a stodgy, slow, and boring poker site until they re-launched the service a few years ago. Now when you download Pacific Poker, you will see much faster game play, crisp graphics, and a larger game selection. Not surprisingly, more players returned and new players joined adding up to a good amount of traffic for the stand-alone poker site.

After you download the Pacific Poker software and install it, you will see the lobby, which is pretty easy to navigate, although the green color scheme is a little hard on the eyes. The updated version of their software does offer a powerful search feature to find the game you seek as well as multi-tabling capabilities. In the past this capability was sorely missing from the Pacific Poker lobby. Player avatars look more realistic now and even when playing four tables at once, the game moves with fluidity. Unfortunately though, US players will not benefit from these features as they can’t play at Pacific Poker. Non PC owners (and people who don't want to download Pacific Poker) will be pleased to learn that Pacific does offer a no-download option for easy access.

Deposit Methods:

Once you download Pacific Poker, you will quickly see that cash games are readily available at most limits and if Limit poker is your game, Pacific has a table with your name on it. For years Pacific Poker has been a hot spot for limit game players. In fact, they only started offering No Limit games after popular sites such as Party Poker and PokerStars launched! Tournament players will never look for long to find a nice game, either. Your daily fix will come from their $20K Guarantee and if that’s not enough then sit down on Sundays for the $100K Deep Stack Challenge for a reasonable $200+$20 buy-in. Sit and Go players will find plenty of action as well including a unique format called the “Double or Nothing” SNG’s. Essentially half of the table will walk away with double their buy-in, the rest leave with nothing. It’s a combination of heads up play and a standard SNG except more players cash in this event. Overall players run the gamut here as many are regulars and many come from the casino and sports book.

Game selection at Pacific Poker includes the standard games but no mixed games:

• Texas Hold’em
• Omaha (high and high-low)
• 7 Card Stud (high and high-low)
  

Pacific Poker has a loyalty program that is one of the more basic out there. You earn FPP’s (Frequent Player Points) and BP’s (Bonus Points) based on the number of raked hands and tournaments that you enter. You can them redeem them for cash and the occasional prize such as an 888.com hat or shirt.

Support is standard with telephone, live chat, and email.

If you’re looking for an established player in the business backed by a respected company (888.com) you’ll like Pacific Poker. The unique SNG’s and rich mix of Limit games makes it perfect for someone looking for something a little different. Download Pacific Poker Now!
