Empire Poker
Empire Poker is one of our top picks in online
poker rooms. It provides a combination of benefits that make it one
of the most compelling choices in an online poker room. Player traffic
is stellar, customer service is top-notch, the playing experience is
on par with the competition, and the tournament action is continuous.
All in all, in our opinion you can't really go wrong with Empire
Poker.
One of the first things you have to think about when considering an
online poker room is player traffic. By player traffic, we mean how
many players you're likely to find when you log on to the poker room.
This is extremely important. If a poker room has all the bells and whistles
but low player traffic, you'll never be able to find the game you're
looking for. At Empire Poker, there are over 12,000 players online
at peak times, and this means that no matter what your game-Hold'em,
Omaha, or Stud-you'll be able to find a number of active tables at a
range of betting levels. No matter when you log on, you're guaranteed
action, and this just isn't the case at all online poker rooms. Keep
that in mind as you make your decision.
The customer service at Empire Poker goes beyond where most
poker rooms go. Many online poker rooms offer only email service, but
Empire Poker offers phone, email, and chat service, 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week. That gives us at Gambling Guide an additional
measure of comfort and we think it adds a lot of credibility to the
Empire Poker operation.
The playing experience at Empire Poker won't disappoint either.
The controls are intuitive and straightforward, the graphics are adequate
but not flashy, and the interface is clean and crisp. The functions
you want are there when you need them, but there's not a lot of additional
or unnecessary bells and whistles.
Lastly, if you like tournaments or you think you might like to try
them, Empire Poker is a great place to do it. There's always
a tournament on, and sometimes you can play freeroll (no entry fee)
tournaments, which are a great way to get a taste of tournament action.
Overall, Empire Poker is one of our favorites for all of the
above reasons, and you'll enjoy playing there if you decide to sign
up. Best of luck at the tables, and enjoy!
