LotosPoker

Players looking for an underrated room that has fantastic software should take a closer look at LotosPoker.

LotosPoker utilizes the award-winning Dragonfish software that is most famously used by 888poker.

Because of its advanced software LotosPoker players have access to a number of services that simply aren’t available on competing poker sites including webcam tournaments and user-created private games.

All the standard features including multi-table options, hand histories, customizable table views and avatars are also available on LotosPoker.

Bringing it all together is a player base that is shared from 888poker and offers some very soft games if you’re willing to practice a small amount of table selection.

New users may initially be put off by the bare-bones website that LotosPoker offers but will be pleasantly surprised as soon as they download the client.

LotosPoker doesn’t fall behind in promotions either as their sign-up bonus is big and the site frequently offers new depositors a chance to qualify for the weekly $100k guaranteed tournament.

New users be warned, however, the one area where LotosPoker does miss the boat slightly is its non-No-Limit Hold’em offerings. You won’t find any deuce-to-seven triple draw or razz games on the site although there are a fair number of Pot-Limit Omaha games running.

As of 2011 the LotosPoker rewards program was still being established but players already have access to several levels of VIP status and you can always trade your status points for cash.

Due to its state-of-the-art software, soft player base and very decent promotions it’s easy to recommend LotosPoker to players looking for a new poker site.

LotosPoker is a good site for tournament grinders with over $50k in guaranteed daily tournaments.

If you don’t mind playing smaller stakes tournaments then you’ll have access to more tournaments than you know what to do with.

Those looking for $50k+ guaranteed tournaments will be in a bit tougher spot with fewer events than you might expect. On the plus side there is a weekly $100k guaranteed event that is one of the softest big buy-in tournaments on the Internet.

Sit & Go specialists are also in good shape as there’s always a 6 or 9-handed table that is about to begin.

There are also a variety of satellites into live events including international World Poker Tour events.

Software is a legitimate high point for LotosPoker as the site runs on the 888poker's souped-up Dragonfish platform.

If you’ve never played on 888poker you’ll be happy to know that the package is stylish, intuitive and, above all else, feature rich.

There are a variety of features that you’ll only find on Dragonfish-powered sites including webcam-only tournaments, team poker tournaments and user-created private lounges.

The software is truly a step above the average poker client and that improves the entire experience.

LotosPoker also gives you plenty of customization options including various table views, different backgrounds and avatars.

Of course the rest of the standard poker room features are there with four-color decks, multi-table features, hand histories and player notes.

LotosPoker offers some very soft games but you’ll want to approach the high stakes games with caution.

In our experience there are a group of very skilled sharks that tend to wait in the bigger games for fresh prey. It’s the same on any site but because the bigger games aren’t always running on LotosPoker it makes the sharks stand out even more. Who knows, if you’re feeling confident you made be able to take down a trophy fish.

Fortunately the lower-stakes games really shine on LotosPoker if you’re looking for soft competition. The site offers a casino and gets a fair amount of casino crossover, which means some of the players know very little about poker and are just looking to play around with their new score.

Stay away from the highest stakes games and we think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the level of competition on LotosPoker.
