The online poker skin that is 'I'Poker' is killing off the game faster than the bookmakers can get more machines into their betting shops..
Or, for that matter more gambling games onto their poker sites !!
Take a look at any 'I'Poker site that is being operated by any of the major bookmakers and their poker skin is also littered with 'junk' games !
To be more precise, you're one click away from, Bingo, Roulette Blackjack and any number of gambling fruity war type lotto games ..
Now i've no problem with the bookmakers selling this crap (well I do, but thats another story) ..The problem I have with it, is it's all going on the poker site .. AND it slows down the software, or disconnects and re connects ..
Not all bookmakers are using that software, Sportingbet (paradise poker) They have two poker rooms, The Dollar and The Euro rooms ..
Great no advertising of junk games and the like and what you have is what a poker player wants .. Just A Poker Room, with a selection of poker games
There are a few other poker sites who also operate their own room ..Fair enough
BUT these main line bookmakers are just using the Poker room as a casino the same way the high street bookmakers are using betting shops to operate their gaming machines and virtual racing ..
Who are the worst and who are the guilty greedy bookies ?
For me the worst are .. Bet365 , Corals and William Hills .. there are probably more that i don't know about ..
Their 'I'Poker software is so unstable now it becomes impossible to concentrate on the game in hand, that is POKER
Benny view ..(IPOKER is going down faster than West Ham concede goals)
