POKER NEWSLETTER

PokerRoom

PokerRoom began offering play money poker games in 1999 and migrated to real money games in 2001. The PokerRoom software is a little different from most in that it comes in both a download version for Windows as well as a no-download Java version that works with computers running Mac, Unix, and Windows. The graphics and play in all versions are very nice. No matter which software version a player chooses, everybody plays against each other and the same games and tournaments are available. The other thing that distinguishes PokerRoom is that they offer casino games other than poker.
