Ladbrokes Poker Review

***THIS ROOM DOES NOT ALLOW US PLAYERS***

Ladbrokes Poker Overall

Ladbrokes Poker room is the most popular European room around and has excellent player traffic and promotions for new and existing players.

Ladbrokes Poker has grown exceptionally quick since launching in May 2002 and the Ladbrokes poker web site is already a leading European online poker room and a clear contender to be included within our top 15 online reviewed sites.

The room has gone under the knife in recent years and is now an attractive package for all levels of players. It used to be that Ladbrokes Poker only hosted medium to low stakes games, but more recently than not, there has been a real increase in some hight stakes games (and bigger tournaments). The room is on the Microgaming network (previously Prima Poker) and shares player traffic with sites such as Bet365Poker and DoylesRoom (although there are many more on the network). The software has plenty of great features including table re-sizing and buddy function whilst the lobby supports view flop percentages, not to mention one of the biggest online online casinos around - all part of the package. One feature we like is that you can can right click on tournaments and add them to a calendar which is available. That way when you see a tournament that you want to play, just added it to your calendar to make sure you don't miss it. The calendar views much like one of the views from Microsoft Outlook and you can see all the tournaments that you plan to play.

With a huge amount of promotions, a great bad beat jackpot and superb value tournaments, so far so good.

Ladbrokes Poker Presentation

The presentation is by and large pretty good and the lobby has good functionality. The navigation on the left hand console where you find the games could be a little better but that said whilst it could be better structured, it is still very usable.

The graphics are nothing overboard and are of a pretty good standard. The look and feel of the site are attractive particularly since a moving to the Microgaming network.

Ladbrokes Poker Software

The software is very good and there are a ton of really nice features, some of which you won't find on a site outside of the Microgaming network. The software is very reliable (you wouldn't expect any less from the Ladbrokes brand) and there is seldom any downtime or disruptions to the platform.

The games offered are Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven-Card Stud, Five-Card Draw and Five-Card Stud. All the regular variations are found including No-Limit, Pot-Limit, and Fixed-Limit. In addition full-table games, short-handed play, and heads up poker are all available with good traffic. The lobby supports a very good buddy list and shows the number of players waiting, view flop percentages, hands played per hour and average pot.

At the tables you can resize your table view to play multiple tables (either large, medium of small view) and you can see session statistics (% folded, % won etc). There is also a very good game history which you can request, you can add speech bubbles, take player notes, mute players and even check how many raked hands you have played (between certain dates - selected by you).

All in all, there are more features at Ladbrokes poker that you will see anywhere else. Well worth a visit.
