Island Poker promises its players an exotic, tropical flair, and they deliver, with a variety of games rarely offered in an online poker room. In addition to the usual games, Island Poker offers blackjack, Chinese Poker, Guts, and Pan (or Panguingue).
Among the promotions at Island Poker are a handful of drawings where members can win prizes like a Hummer and seats at popular land-based tournaments without even participating in a single satellite. Their tournament schedule is only available through the software, which honestly is only annoying until you download the software.
They call themselves "The Worldwide Poker Network" and I'm not quite sure why. But I am sure that this is a fun and inviting place to play with more than its fair share of rewards for its visitors.
