Cool Hand Poker review

Cool Hand Poker is part of the well established poker network Microgaming Network, which is based out of Isle of Man, a privately owned company that's been within the industry for over a decade. Microgamings progressive jackpot is one the leading in the industry and has paid out more than $250m since its inception.

Cool Hand Poker offers three different lobbies in it's poker software, wherein each and every one is clean and easy to understand. Navigation is very simple, with tabs and filters available to quickly find the levels that each player might be looking for. The game play itself is smooth and attractive, offering little in the way of slow down; instead it moves quickly and keeps players interested. A numbers of daily tournaments with guaranteed prize pools are on offer attracting the attention of many players.

At the time when this review was written the network had over 8500 players connected with 4214 seated. The progressive jackpot was at this point $180 000 which on it's own draws a lot of players. All the bad beat tables were full with up to 6 players waiting to gain access to these $0.50/$1 No Limit tables. Cool Hand poker is a fairly new poker room and as such these games on offer are limited to only a few with primary focus towards Hold em and Fixed/No Limit. Recently we saw Omaha being added and more games are due to be added.

Cool Hand support can be reached either through a contact form in the poker software or through 24/7 live-support on the website. The support is very helpful, gives you detailed answers and reps are very eager to make sure everyone is a happy customer.
