General information:

October 9, 2005 Party Poker cut off their so-called "skins", ie additional windows, poker rooms through which came the players (among them EmpirePoker, EuroBet) and Party Poker is now a fully independent online poker room. Disabling skins estesstvenno reduce the number of players, but still Party Poker is poker room number 1 in the world in quantity and "quality" of players - there are many inexperienced players up to the level of rates $ 30 / $ 60. In October 2005, added a few games, including even blackjack.

Software and graphics:

PartyPoker engine is good, has repeatedly upgraded during 2003, in early 2004 and the October 2005 course schedule does not take a primary role in the game, but the graphics "jobs" very rewarding. Unfortunately the software cannot see the percentage of watching the flop and the number of hands played per hour, although this information would be very helpful when choosing tables for the game (shows only the average pot size over the last 20 hands). In general, software at the level of competition or even better and makes it easy problems to ensure a comfortable game for more than 50 000 players simultaneously, although sometimes annoying remote connection when playing in tournaments.

Ring Game Traffic:

According to this indicator Party Poker has become a leader in early 2002 after a legendary advertising campaign. They maintain a high level of its extremely aggressive marketing, which allows them to achieve new record levels every month. Disabling skins certainly reduced the number of players (about 15%) but still Party Poker holds among poker rooms their honorable first place by the number of players.

Traffic tournament games:
