Mansion Poker Review

Mansion Poker Review

Mansion Poker has quietly been around since 2005 and when they initially started they we’re a completely independent poker room that used there own software and did everything else on there own. Since then though Mansion Poker has decided to switch to the popular iPoker Network which is one of the largest poker networks on the internet with many big named casinos using there software. US players can’t play in this poker room which is a shame, but rules are rules and no iPoker poker room can have US players. Mansion Poker has been a very reputable poker room for years now and although they never made it to be as big as some rooms they have the experience. If you prefer playing in safe establishes rooms that aren’t always buzzing with thousands of players then Mansion Poker is a relaxing option you have.

Software

Mansion Poker utilizes the iPoker Network software which is known as the PlayTech software suite and happens to be very robust. The software has all the features and add-ons that players look for before joining a room such as chatting, avatars, statistics, multi-tabling and a whole bunch of other cool things. With traffic not as large as the big poker rooms Mansion Poker you’d expect a seamless gameplay, but in fact the gameplay is somewhat slow paced and can become irritating a bit. The colors chosen for the poker room lobby and tables are very unique and I actually like the themes they’ve chosen for the room.

Games

Mansion Poker has pot limit, fixed limit and no limit action available in a variety of poker games. The stakes start at $.50/$1.00 which is fairly high for a starting stake when compared to most poker rooms who offer micro-limits. The highest stakes available are $50/$100 in the pot limit and fixed limit games. You can play Texas Holdem, Omaha Hi, Omaha Hi/Lo, Five Card Stud and Seven Card Stud. They’ve yet to implement any of the mixed games, but I’m sure with the New Year coming new poker games will become available. They also need to make sure there will be enough players competing in the games if they add them so it’s not always simple adding new games to a poker room unless there is massive traffic.

Traffic

Mansion Poker never really broke out on the scene like some poker rooms did back in 2005, but they did manage to stay in the game and since moving to the iPoker Network traffic has been great. You can now find thousands of players in the poker room most times of the day including around 10,000 ring game players during peak hours.
