Pacific Poker has the usual games you would expect to find, including Texas Hold'em Poker, Omaha Poker, Omaha Hi-Lo Poker, and Seven Card Stud Poker, including Hi/Lo.

There is an instant play option available to remove the need of a download. At our last review of this online poker site (27/5/07 21.00 GMT) there were 6,158 players logged in.

Their buy-ins are on the low side, great for beginners and fish, (and therefore cheap sharks). Tournaments have buy-in's ranging from freerolls ( free poker ) to $200. "Sit and go's" cost from 50c to $750. Cash poker games start at 2/4c and go up to $75/$150.

Layout

The opening screen is always the option for play money or real money. That then takes you to your Main Lobby.

It is controlled through tabs. There is a little clock in the top right corner with a drop down menu, giving you the choice of GMT, 888 time, and your local time. Choose your local time and all the tournament times are reset to that time zone, nice touch.

The Main Lobby interface is straightforward with tabs to choose the type of poker table to play on. The actual tables then scroll down the centre window of the lobby.

The poker site uses 10 player poker tables and you have a choice of 20 avatars, and you also have the choice of 5 backdrops. The tables are massive, goodness knows how the dealer gets those cards out so far without them turning over.

Sign-Up Poker Bonus

Pacific Poker will give you a sign-up poker bonus of 25% of your first deposit - up to £50
