Full Review
Poker Ocean and the iPoker network have been successful in quickly building a strong connection with the strategic backing from the world's second largest casino software provider.. The software has an innovative and good-looking interface with colorful and attractive graphics.
It also supports eight languages - English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish - for maximum playability. The functionality is good, and the early minor glitches in the software have since been fixed. Games offered include Hold'em, Omaha and Seven-Card Stud High, Omaha High and Hi-Lo and ring games, as well as heads-up, sit-and-go and multi-table tournaments
Poker Ocean also offers plenty of tournaments and freerolls with great value. The traffic volume overall is in the middle segment of the industry. Real-money player statistics as of May 2012 show 10000 ring-game players and 55000 tournament players at peak hours.
Overall, Poker Ocean offers relatively loose games and decent software that plays well even though the game pace is on the slow side. The software is updated frequently to ensure safety and stability, with little downtime as a result.

The graphics are nice and clear, the functionality is good and the software is updated regularly without significant downtime. Overall, it is the opinion of Pokerlistings that the software is quite good even if play is on the slow side
Statistics
The data and statistics functions in Poker Ocean's software allow players to take notes on their opposition during play, and the lobby supplies vital table statistics like viewed-flop percentage, average pot size and hands played per hour. Players can also see their hand history in a nice graphic interface.
Multi-Table
The latest version of Poker Ocean's software supports play at eight tables simultaneously, and multi-table play runs smoothly and problem free. Poker Ocean offers a mini-view function that allows four tables tiled at standard resolution to help players compete at multiple tables. The tables are relatively small and easy to grasp, and overall well-suited for multi-table play.
Graphics
The graphics of the Poker Ocean software are functional and well-matched. The software allows the player to choose from a list of 3D-looking avatars that actually look pretty good. The table functions are easy to learn and well oriented on the table.
The Poker Ocean software runs in a blue and green theme that is easy on the eyes and allows for longer play time before your eyes get tired. The software offers play in eight languages - English, French, German, Spanish, Polish, Swedish, Turkish and Italian - accommodating a wide variety of people who want to learn and play poker.
Special Features
The Poker Ocean software has a few useful special features not available on all poker sites. One of the nice special functions is the hand history, presented in a graphic interface. This is especially nice for beginners that want to easily get an idea of how they are playing.
