Summary
Royal Card Club Poker is one of the Prima Poker Network sites. This means that there is a wide base of shared players, many of whom are new to online poker, thanks to their wide ranging advertising. If you are new to on-line poker this is a good website to get started with as it has a glossary, the rules of the game, and an explanation of the hands. It is possible to practise for free first, to get a feel for the game. For those more experienced there is the multi-table function, allowing you to play at numerous tables at a time.
Games
Royal Card Club has a limited variety of games, featuring the most popular, Texas hold’em, Omaha (including Hi/Lo), seven card stud, five card stud and 1-on-1. There are a range of tables starting from 5c/10c for the beginner, up to $100/$200 for the more serious player. There are also daily tournaments including freerolls and satellites. The average number of players at peak times is between 2000-4000 at the tables and 5000 in tournaments, providing a range of skill.
Navigation
The site is easy to navigate with clear headings and information easy to find. The graphics for the table are clear, with good size cards and a simple layout. The lobby allows you to see at a glance the tables in play, including the game limit, the stakes, the number of players, the wait, hands played, the average pot and the flop %.
Bonuses/Promotions
Royal Card Club has a few promotions and bonuses, but no sign up bonus. Royal Card Club also has a Bad Beat Jackpot where if a hand of four of a kind or higher loses, 50% of the jackpot is awarded to them, with the winner of the hand getting 25%, and the other players sharing the remaining 25%. There is also a magic hand prize, when a random hand number is picked in advance and the winner of that hand receives $250, with the other players splitting $250. This happens approximately every 1,000,000, with an inflated jackpot every 10,000,000 of $1000 to split between the winner and other players. There are also opportunities to win seats in WSOP tournaments.
Rake
The rake is capped at a maximum of $3, based on the limit of the table and the number of players, but it works out at roughly 5%.
Deposits/Withdrawals
Deposits can be made with most major credit cards, NETeller, Click2Pay, Firepay, Ecocard, and Moneybookers. Withdrawal options are NETeller, Firepay and Moneybookers.
