PACIFIC POKER, Part 3: SOFTWARE

Overall, Pacific Poker has gotten a fairly bad rap for the software it offers on its site. Customers regularly have reported that the software design is cumbersome, unintuitive and volatile in terms of crashing or being really slow and uneven. They have told sweeping sagas of woe and fury in which they had been ruthlessly disconnected from the Pacific Poker’s server during some tender or intense poker playing moments.

Some folks, however, are quick to point out that this harsh judgment is unfair and outdated. They are quick to note that Pacific Poker has made extensive measures to improve their software systems to increase customer satisfaction. In addition to making it slightly more stable and reliable, Pacific Poker also has made an effort to reach out to their international base of devoted online casino and poker players by getting their software translated into Portuguese, French, Dutch, Spanish, German, Swedish, Danish and Italian.

With all of the upgraded elements that are relatively new to the Pacific Poker experience, it has slowly been gaining ground in the online casino and poker market. In the past, people grudgingly bit their lip when confronted with the slow and unreliable software because getting into the profitable action of the consistently loose games made everything else worth all the trouble. Now, more and more players are reporting that the software has been pretty fast and they are having fewer and fewer hiccups with getting the software to run smoothly. They endeavor to provide regular and timely updates for their software so that it is as stable and secure as possible.

Many players who have in the past been quite skeptical of Pacific Poker’s software may be pleasantly surprised but the new upgrades they have carefully added. The graphics and the basic operations of the site have been overhauled in addition to a much more streamlined layout and their high-tech 3-D avatars. Beyond those new features, they have great options for people who feel that variety is the spice of life. You have the ability to play at multiple tables simultaneously – up to four tables can be cascaded or tiled on the screen at a time -- and they have built in a system for integrated online casino and bingo play. Also, for added convenience, they have a cashier handy and immediately visible at all times in addition to a graphic replay of your hands. If you are interested in reflecting and evaluating the level of your play, this feature is essential. Another helpful aspect that they have included is quick and straightforward access to your online account balance data. This is good for keeping tabs on your spending.

Pacific Poker has really tried to bring their online casino poker experience to the masses, making adaptations to suit every player’s specific needs.
