Software
Though Paradise Poker was itself a pioneer in poker software it has recently switched to software from Boss Media. Boss Media is a Swedish online gaming software provider and services some of the best Internet poker rooms. The software is very stable and has good functionality and playability. The software comes in 23 languages, which cover all regions of the world. The software also supports multi-currency play and deposits, and thus highlights the international make up of Paradise Poker’s clientele. However due to banking regulations of gaming transactions in US$, the base currency has been changed to the Euro. The graphics are excellent as can be seen from the lobby. The table settings are elegant and give the feel of live casino experience. The exquisite card design is in four colors. On the functional front the software offers advanced hand history, several real time statistics and the ability to take notes while playing.

Games
Stud games feature strongly at Poker Paradise. Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud and 5 Card Stud are the popular stud poker games played there. 5 Card Draw represents the draw poker category. Because of the immense popularity of Blackjack, it is included in the games list. Poker Paradise puts in a lot of effort in educating novice players. The games rules are explained in detail. In addition it has an excellent Poker School. The school explains the hand rankings, the strategy and the poker jargon. However the most important lesson the school offers is a detailed explanation of the use of the tools the software offers.

Tournaments
Tournaments have become the heart and soul of poker and Poker Paradise recognizes that. It offers free roll tournaments for beginners, who do not want to make an upfront investment. And guaranteed prize tournaments for experts, who hope to win something substantial at the end of the day. The winnings include entries to satellite tournaments for all major live events. The best are Paradise Poker’s unique signature tournaments like Paradise RUSH, which gives the winner 1 hour to spend €100,000 in a city of his choice.
