Software & Graphics - 10

Go to Top

The software of the Carbon Poker is one of its main attractions. Carbon Poker founded the Merge Gaming Network. The graphics are spectacular, clear, and  the software works smoothly. You can have music in the lobby and all the usual feature are available and even more. You can easily access your hand history, you can take notes, and mark your opponents as sharks or fish. If you go all-in you can see the players' winning odds till the end of the hand. This feature was introduced by Carbon Poker in the online gaming. A bit annoying extra is that you can see what kind of hand you would have if you wouldn’t have folded so you can when you would have made the nuts when you are out of the hand long ago. The lobby is informative and well designed, easy to navigate around. You can see the average pot, the hands/hour rate and the flop view percentage. When you are very bored you can play with features like typing "shark" in the text box - then and a fish appears on  top of your head, which is suddenly snapped by a shark. Sometimes the whole table is busy with typing "fish", "shark", "rabbit", "donkey" and just watch the fantastic and funny animation the software provides.
