888 High Roller Poker

888 High Stakes Poker

The 888 High Roller Poker also know as Pacific Poker brand and the company 888.com are without a doubt amongst the leading brand names in the poker industry.  Launched in 1997, it was one of the earliest founded casino sites and moved quickly to take advantage of the lack of competition. Triple eight is also known as offering possibly the best in casino entertainment to be found online to attract both the high rollers and the new fish.

The site is most popular around Europe, particularly in the UK. The brand has further increased its popularity and fanbase by sponsoring Middlesbrough Football Club and a number of other sports teams and events.

The 888 high roller poker site itself has a box that appears the instant you logon to it asking you if you want to download. This is a nifty idea as the majority of people going on to the site are only interested in downloading the software anyway. Both the casino and the high stakes poker room have pride of place and there is a picture of a high roller sitting behind a mountain of chips on the poker icon.

The bonuses on offer here are enough to attract even the highest stakes playersand enough of thehigh rollers are already playing on triple eight to give any well known pro a challenge. Pacific Poker offers an instant bonus on every initial deposit. This means that every new player receives a quarter of their initial sign up bonus when they make their first deposit. There are loyalty points that can be converted into cash and several levels of VIP right up to your real high stakes players, for whom there is ample room on the site. The initial deposit bonus is automatic, so you don’t need to find and remember any bonus codes which is a bonus in and of itself and has also attracted people looking to turn a small stack into a big stack.

At Pacific Poker the majority of popular poker games, including  BlackJack, Seven Card Stud Texas Holdem,  Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo,and the popular Omah Holdem and Omaha Hi/Lo are on offer. This is no surprise for a site that is one of the biggest in the business but what is a shame is the lack of anyone interested in playing most of these games on the site. It is undeniable that by far the most popular game hosted is Texas Hold ‘em and it takes a surprisingly long amount of time to get a medium stakes No Limit Hold ‘em tournament going. Though in this case surprisingly long still only means about ten minutes.

Taking money out of the site takes three days which is roughly industry standard but some other high quality sited take four. Unlike other sites  Triple eight allows players in certain countries to deposit using their debit rather than their credit cards making it much easier for people to both deposit and withdraw their cash.

The site has recently been given a much needed facelift and this update has made the site look incredibly slick and well maintained, this combined with the bonuses on offer ensures that the  rebranded site will remain a contender for the title of best high roller poker site for a long time to come.
