Poker at William Hill
William Hill has always been at the forefront of the gaming indusrty, ever since the company started in 1934. It's no suprise therefore, to see such a popular Poker Room here. At peak times, each day, 3 - 4,000 players will be online, and for tournaments, you are looking at around 9 - 10,000 players. $16 million is guaranteed to be paid out to players each month.
First impressions of the site are positive, with the Lobby screen displaying information on statistics, pot sizes, hands per hour, no. of players, and up-coming competitions. This is all in a user-friendly format that is easy to understand and navigate. You can also read game rules, and there is an excellent Poker school available. Games include Texas Hold'em, Pot limit Omaha, Omaha High/Low, 5 and 7 card stud. Usefully, there is a no-download version which is as good as the download one.
Once you are playing, you will find smooth graphics, and William Hills' usual cool blue tables. Part of the reason for these smooth graphics is that the layout is quite simple, and player Avatars are kept fairly basic. This helps to avoid overloading your PC, and I for one would much rather enjoy smooth, reliable play than fancy graphics that keep freezing up.
If you are a new player, you can also be enjoying the £400 new player bonus on offer. Existing players are rewarded with £25 monthly credit, if they have played for 5 hours in the previous month. All players earn William Hill Points each time they play.
Stakes range from 3p to £200 depending on the game, £10 to £20 games are plentiful. If you have earned 10 Points, you can enter the twice-weekly $100 freeroll games, and the tournaments often have very low entry requirements. Each Sunday there is a $250,000 tournament, and each Friday a $150,000 one.
