Unlike a traditional casino, this house doesn’t get a cut. Texas Holdem is a game of both chance and skill.
About the only thing it doesn’t offer is a way to handle money, but even that makes sense for Poker Now. With Christmas Poker you will always start a new game with 1000 in chips - all for free No waiting for bonuses or hoping you hit big on your last chip in this game If you happen to lose, just restart the game and play again Christmas Poker has the same rules as Texas Holdem. The game even integrates free audio and video chat (although my table has never broken the pandemic-era habit of using a separate Zoom link instead). There’s a Tournament mode that allows you to blend multiple tables and a Spectator mode that allows non-players to see each player’s pocket cards, much like when you watch poker on TV. Or how it jacks up the suspense on an all in by giving you real-time updates on every player’s chance of victory. Or how it quietly ensures that even the most amateur player will have all the information they need to grasp their best possible hand. I could talk about how the game ensures bragging rights by automatically keeping a tally of hands won by each player.
You simply don’t expect a game that asks for nothing - apart from an optional Patreon donation - to play this well. In an age where every “free” game comes laden with ads or microtransactions, I still marvel at what Poker Now offers.
