Software Summary

The Betway Poker software is a customized version of the Microgaming software. It runs fast and smooth with good playability.

The software allows players to take notes on the opposition during play and the lobby supplies vital table statistics like the viewed-flop percentage, average pot size and hands played per hour.

During your games you can see statistics on your own play, like how often you see the flop, your win percentage and more. There is also a graphic replay of hands that is very useful.

The Betway Poker software supports multi-table pay well and runs smoothly with few problems. The software supports play either at all tables full-size or in mini view - something very useful for multi-table fans.

The graphics are clean and uniformly colored, although all the information on display can make the tables a little cluttered at times. The software is updated regularly to ensure safety and reliability, with some downtime as a result.

Statistics

The Betway Poker software allows you to take notes on the opposition during play and the lobby supplies vital table statistics, like viewed-flop percentage, average pot-size, seated player's stack-size and hands played per hour.

At any time a player can look at an analysis of his own play through an interface at the table, seeing checks, calls, folds and re-raises. The hand history works well in the software and exports smoothly to the local computer for analysis, but does not list hands played in a session.

Multi-Table

The latest version of Betway Poker's software supports up to eight tables of simultaneous play, and if used with the mini table size option five tables can be viewed at the same time.

Multi-table play runs smoothly and few problems have been reported, though the tables are a little cluttered and the chat and other information take up a little too much space. For those with diminished vision the hole cards can be hard to distinguish.

Graphics

The Betway Poker software offers clean and easily viewable graphics. No avatars are used at the table, keeping it clean and neat. The colors run in a mix of ice blue and wood, making the software easy on the eyes.

Special Features

Betway Poker's software offers the basic features offered by most poker rooms. Special functions are the mini view that helps multi-table play on smaller monitors and the table-integrated statistics. A special form of betting called "Poker Bet" is also available. In Poker Bet, a player can bet on the outcome of a specific hand.
