Prima Poker Network & Microgaming

The Prima Poker Network is a large network of poker sites using Microgaming software. Microgaming, founded in 1994, is a pioneer and leader in the development of interactive gaming systems. Microgaming provides software for many of the most popular online casinos, and most of these casinos now have online poker rooms, so you can imagine that this network has grown quite large.

The top poker sites in the Prima Poker Network using Microgaming software are Gaming Club Poker and Royal Vegas Poker. Sites in the network share a common software platform, tables, players and tournament prize pools. The main differences are the cardroom "skin" (colors & graphics) and promotions.

Unlike its casino counterpart, the poker room software isn't the greatest. However, the network makes up for this by offering huge tournaments (prizes of several hundred thousand dollars) on a regular basis and by having a lot of soft competition (new players coming from associated online casinos of its partners).

Top Sites using Microgaming Poker Software

Gaming Club Poker is affiliated with The Gaming Club Casino, which is one of the earliest online casinos. As part of the network, they have free satellites and $200,000 in monthly freeroll tournaments! Their bonus program consists of receiving $50 if your initial deposit is $50 or more. You earn the bonus by playing real money games with rakes of $0.25+. Depending on the stakes you play, this could take awhile.

Royal Vegas Poker is affiliated with Royal Vegas Casino, which is also one of the earlier casinos on the Internet. A reason to sign up at Royal Vegas is that they give you $10 for free (no deposit required) just for registering. They also give you a 40% bonus on your first deposit up to $100. It should be noted that players are allowed to have only a single alias for all of their Prima Poker accounts, so you can't collect multiple bonuses or play against yourself at the same table. . .
