Sportsbook.com's (their poker room is Play Aces) company has been around for a while as one of the earliest Internet sports betting books. It was only fitting that they add poker to their services. They use World Gaming software for their sportsbook and casino, but chose to go with the Merge Gaming Network for their poker room. One of the reasons is because it was a new poker site with high expectations and some great software to boot!
The Play Aces Poker Download is 14 MB in size, so should be downloaded in under 40 seconds with a broadband connection. This file size is larger than most other poker sites, but it isn't big enough to be a problem. Once downloaded, you basically just have to click next a few times and you're ready to hit the felt! Everything is very basic and easy to understand with the Play Aces Software Download.
Security is no issue with the Play Aces download, because all communication and information is encrypted using the industry standard 256-bit TwoFish encryption algorithm. It is impossible to know what your opponents hole cards are and they have bot/collusion detection running constantly.
There are some great software features with the Play Aces software. It looks flashy with 3D avatars, cards are dealt very smoothly, and game play has a nice pace. There are some customizable options and you can even change your username every 7 days, which is unique.
Unfortunately, there is no PlayAces Poker Mac client. An update to their software is to be released in June 2010 which is to include a Mac client.
Since the creation of Sportsbook.com's Poker Room, Play Aces, the player base has grown considerably. US Players are always welcome at Play Aces, so it doesn't matter where you're located. Download the software now!
