Coral Poker Review
Coral Poker is a top notch online poker site
that offers you exciting features bundled with the security and reliability
that you have probably come to expect from Europe's top bookmakers.
Firstly, Coral Poker offer up to a $600 sign up bonus, and even a $25 monthly
loyalty bonus, which you just earn for playing with in the Coral room
consistently. During peak times, on average, there are about 20,000
people playing. So you are never short of a game.
Coral Poker is part of the online poker network, OnGame, which has also
provided the online poker software for Mansion Poker and Hollywood Poker. Coral Poker
has a smooth, and flowing design. The tables are a blue and the avatars
that player can use are non distracting from the game. With this design,
you can tell that Coral actually put some thought into how their players would
play the game, and actually wanted to keep the focus on the game instead of
flashy features and gradient designs.
Aside from the design, there are also other important features, such as, one
click, real time hand history. This invaluable feature allows you to
click at the top right, and see what your opponent has folded at showdown.
Using this feature, you'll be able to find out how your opponents play, and
most importantly, their folding patterns.
There are also other cool features, such as a multi-colored card deck, which is
particularly useful when you are playing multiple games. Because you can
minimize tables in Coral Poker, you can play up to 12 games at one time.
The statistics available through Coral Poker are also very good. They
cover almost everything, but can sometimes slow to update.
The only real downside for Coral Poker is their slow to update and cumbersome
to navigate tournament lobby. The software, overall, though, is very easy
to use, and the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks, which is great news for
Coral Poker, and is quite contrary to many other online poker sites.
In terms of traffic, Coral Poker has a fairly decent amount of traffic.
During peak times, Coral Poker will average somewhere around 7,000 real players
at cash tables, and near 40,000 real players at the tournament tables.
Just like other sites, most players are playing on limit and no limit hold 'em
games. Pot limit Omaha, though, is increasing popularity at Coral Poker.
In terms of tournaments, Coral Poker has great multi-table tournaments for
bankrolls of all sizes. Almost all of the tournaments are also held
daily, which means you'll be able to get into a tournament anytime you
want. There's also a huge monthly tournament entitled the "Grand
Tournament", which is a $750,000 Guaranteed freezeout tournament with a
$1000 + $40 buy-in. Both STT and MTT satellites run the entry for this
tournament.
Overall, Coral Poker provides great software, game play and a lot of available
games.They also accept a lot of banking options, which means you'll be able to
find someway to to fund your gambling habits.
