胜利扑克移动到蛋糕网络。通过网络购买的CEREUS比安卡游戏。主要的在线扑克室都占据宣布切换到不同网络最近几个星期的头条新闻。所有的走动,很容易弄不清楚是什么意思,哪些网站连接到对方,这是竞争。
有两种方法可以创建一个新的扑克网站。首先,开发人员可以创建自己的软件和开发从头开始的客户群,形成了他的网站的玩家池。但它很难得到玩家注册并没有为他们的对手已经确定的一组发挥对阵。所以,问题是如何创造无中生有。还有第二个选择。而不是从地面建设自己的系统时,开发人员可以创建一个“皮肤”,扑克室,使用一个已经存在的软件属于一个已经建立的网络。皮肤有自己的品牌和用户界面,但股价在其网络上所有玩家的皮肤池。虽然每个网站可能有独特的促销活动和游戏,大部分时间他们分享现金游戏,比赛,广告,安全,并与他们的姊妹网站的其他功能。这意味着家庭网络的好处应该是在哪个网站选择适合您的主要因素。
扑克之星和全速扑克各有独特的软件和网络,它们不与任何其他品牌的份额。他们也有其他的扑克玩家数量粉碎网络。在任何时候,扑克之星,至少有两万现金在游戏桌的人,可以得到超过15万用户,在比赛静坐欧米茄去。国际数字可能会开始下跌,欧洲几个国家的法律规定强制隔离的网站在全球播放器从池这些国家的玩家。目前,扑克之星允许美国玩家完全进入游戏,存款和提款方法的一些限制。
美国玩家还可以登录到全速扑克,世界第二大组的玩家。这两个网站的玩家基地让他们提供更广泛的比赛,比其他在线站点的现金游戏赌注。扑克之星还散布最不同的游戏,包括螺栓和badugi几个变种,而全速游戏不提供借鉴。

Poker Skins Undressed: What It All Means
Victory Poker moves to Cake network. CEREUS network bought by Bianca Gaming. Major online poker rooms have occupied the headlines in recent weeks announcing switches to different networks. With all the moving around, it's easy to get confused about what it all means, which sites are connected to each other, and which are competing.
There are two ways to create a new poker website. First, a developer could create his own software and develop a customer base from scratch to form the player pool on his site. But it's difficult to get players to sign up and play without an already established group of opponents for them to play against. So the question is how to create something from nothing. There is a second option. Instead of building his own system from the ground up, a developer could create a "skin," a poker room that uses preexisting software that belongs to an already established network. The skin has its own brand and user interface but shares the player pool of all of the skins on its network. Although each site may have unique promotions and games, most of the time they share cash games, tournaments, advertising, security, and other features with their sister sites. That means the benefits of the home network should be a major factor in choosing which sites are right for you.
PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker each have unique software and networks that they don't share with any other brand names. They also have other poker networks crushed in terms of number of players. At any time, PokerStars has at least 20,000 people at its cash-game tables and can get more than 150,000 users in tournaments and sit-n-goes. International numbers may start to fall as the legal requirements of several European countries force the site to segregate players in those countries from the global player pool. At present, PokerStars allows U.S. players full access to games, with some restrictions on deposit and withdrawal methods.
U.S. players can also log on to Full Tilt Poker, the world's second largest group of players. Both sites' player bases allow them to offer a wider range of tournament and cash game stakes than other online sites. PokerStars also spreads the most different games, including several variants of stud and badugi, while Full Tilt doesn't offer draw games.
PokerStars and 全速扑克 may have the largest groups of players, but they've far from cornered the market in online poker, especially for non-U.S. players. Here is a rundown of the other major networks and their sites:
CEREUS Poker: This network was born when UltimateBet and AbsolutePoker merged. It's not many people's favorite poker client, and the CEREUS name change didn't do much to help players forget the cheating scandals associated with either site's original title. Despite the grumbling, CEREUS still has one of the largest player pools on the market, and it accepts U.S. players.
Cake Poker: This is the network all the cool kids want to sit with at lunch. Victory Poker moved to Cake on September 1. Doyle's Room moved here in 2009. LockPoker, Gutshot Poker, Unibomber Poker, and a variety of other skins also share the Cake Network. Because U.S. players are allowed, and several new skins are working hard to rep the network, Cake's player base is growing rapidly.
Bodog Poker: The Bodog network includes only one poker room (Bodog) but also has sports betting and casino sites. Executives are currently investing megabucks in increasing the Bodog brand overseas, especially in relation to sports betting. More name recognition can only help the games on the company's poker site.
Everest Poker: Name look familiar? Everest Poker shelled out top dollar to have its name on the felt at the WSOP, but it is targeting only non-U.S. patrons -- for now. Everest caters to European players and has some of the best promotions and live event packages out there. Having kept its nose clean on the U.S. front, it could be first in line for licensing if American online gambling laws change.
Party Gaming: Thanks to PartyPoker, this used to be the biggest network in the world. Since banning U.S. customers in 2006, it lost that title, but Party Gaming is still a major fixture everywhere outside of the U.S. and is talked about with the nostalgia owed a fallen hero by American players. The network also hosts skins of the WPT's brand and Empire Poker.
Everleaf Gaming: Everleaf, home to LuvinPoker and LandShark Poker among others, is one of the few networks still open to U.S. players, yet it lacks the player base big enough to attract more than 1,000 players at any time. It does, however, boast one of the industry's most secure shuffling systems.
Merge Network: Although some of its skins of jumped ship recently, the Merge Network still hosts Carbon Poker, Players Only Poker, Reefer Poker, RPMPoker, and a score of other poker sites. Its software has a few entertaining features, including the ability to muck only one card and rabbit hunt. It's in need of increased traffic, however, before it will be able to support higher stakes.
888 Network: This network grew out of Pacific Poker's software. It now hosts 888poker, LuckyAce Poker, WSOP, and several other gaming sites. It's player base is known for being on the soft side, but U.S. players can't take advantage.
iPoker: Hosting William Hill Poker, PaddyPoker, ChiliPoker, TitanPoker, SunPoker, and more than a dozen other skins, iPoker is one of the biggest networks in Europe.
Ongame: With the merger of BetFair and Bwin, Ongame became a huge force on the international poker scene. The network also hosts HollywoodPoker, Winamax, EuroPoker, and RedKings, but at the moment, has no U.S.-facing sites. |
