Overall play money rating: 2
Pacific Poker is somewhat like a smaller version of Party Poker: poor software, loose games, good moneymaking opportunity.
Maximum Tables You Can Play at One Time: 1
Beatable Games: 9
Due to factors such as the affiliation with Casino-On-Net, this site attracts the gambler-type opponents you want to play against. The games are very loose, particularly at 3/6 and 5/10, where you will probably find the loosest games available at those limits on any server.
Game Selection: 4
Pacific only offers the basic five games, and unless you want to play limit hold 'em, Omaha high-low, or 7-stud, you will probably be hard-pressed to find a game. Also you can only sit at one table at once.
Player Traffic: 8 (hold 'em) / 4 (other games)
You can find a hold 'em game virtually whenever you want, but for other games you must be more time-selective.
Deposit Bonuses / Player Rewards / Jackpots: 4

Find out how...
The deposit bonus at Pacific is pretty hard to clear, although at 25% up to $100 it is pretty generous. They offer rare re-deposit bonuses.
Software / Peripherals: 3
The software here is simply not high-quality. The one-table limit is a big handicap for those who enjoy playing multiple tables at once. The software also slows down unexpectedly sometimes, and it takes up a lot of virtual memory making it difficult to run other programs at the same time.
Tournaments: N/A
Customer Support: 4
Pacific's support team usually replies within 24 hours, which is not a great response time. Their comments are also frequently less than helpful.
Server Quality: 6
Though
they do not experience as many crashes as Party, the server could use some
tinkering to make it more stable.
