Poker World

The Internet has made a lot of things a lot easier, especially when it comes to human connection and the ability to play games with people from all over the world. Poker has always been a popular card game, but the Internet has revolutionized the whole thing, since everyone can now subscribe to tournaments and even win a lot of money if luck is on their side.

Poker World is an online Texas Hold ‘em game that challenges you to win as many trophies as you can and keep an eye on your chips in order to avoid going bankrupt. However, this is not a multiplayer experience, which means that you are always competing against computer players in an attempt to complete a career spanning all over the world. It can be quite daunting, depending on your expertise with poker.

To begin with, every tournament has a certain buy in, and you cannot compete unless you have that amount of money to put into the game. Besides winning the chips from the losers, you are also awarded money if you manage to finish first. On top of that, you can also collect trophies and win reputation points, which in turn allow you to unlock more prestigious poker tournaments all over the world.

Although the difficulty level is pretty low in the beginning, things get tougher later on, especially when the stakes are high. The computer players become more careful with their chips, and they can really outsmart you in certain situations, depending on your state of mind. Speaking of which, the number of opponents depends on the tournament, since you can battle anything from two to five or more players during a game.

As far as the graphics are concerned, they are about as basic as they can get, but that’s usually not a problem in poker games anyway. Not much work went into the backgrounds either, but somehow you still feel the change whenever you travel to a new city. The music and the sound effects can get on your nerves as well, but at least they can be turned off when you have had enough.

Poker World is a pretty solid game, but the number of chips at your disposal is limited, even if you can only play with bots in single player. Thus, if you run out you must purchase more using real money, which is a bit of an annoyance to say the least.
