RedKings Poker Software

RedKings Poker's software is decent. However, like all OnGame Network sites, it is memory intensive and those players running it on Windows may experience bugs if they are running on small amounts of memory.

Players can utilize a download and non-download version of RedKings Poker's software, as well as the ability to play through a cell phone. RedKings Poker and OnGame is also one of the few pokersites that supports Macintosh and Linux users.

RedKings Poker table graphics consists of a deep blue felt, dark brown leather trim table and white-backed cards logoed with R/K. Players cannot change the card back colors, although they may change the deck into 4-color mode as well as in larger format numbers. The background consists of tan leather chairs and a crimson background. I would have thought that being named RedKings Poker that the predominant color would have been red, but with Mansion and Hollywood Poker having a red theme, Red Kings Poker looks good in blue. Players are given the opportunity to turn the avatars on and off. It's player notes feature, which can be tailored to suit your needs, is color-coded. A large text-box gives ample room for player notes and the text is auto-wrap. It also has one of the best on-table stat pages in the industry. Players may access the hand history function from the table.

Main menu items are easily navigable with the ability to switch between ring games and tournaments. The ring game menus provide players seeing the flop, average pot size and average hands per hour, on a table per table basis. Tournament information isn't as user friendly, however. Most of the in-game tournament information like which players are still playing, average stack sizes and tournament payouts are all web-site driven sub-routines which do not auto-update. This makes it difficult to track one's progress while actively paying attention to the tournament itself.

Players need to sit out of their table in order to access the cashiering services to the table. This can lead to missed hands and a failure to reload prior to the next dealt hand. Sitting out, while there is a waiting list at a table, can see a player taken off the table and his seat given to a player on the waiting list.

Overall, RedKings Poker has good software.

The Grand

The highly successful Grand Tournament is here to stay. It's runs every month with the Grand Final taking place on the last weekend of each month. This is the biggest tournament held on RedKings Poker with a prize pool usually in excess of $200,000.

The Grand is played on the last weekend of the month. You can buy-in for $1000+$40 or qualify from as little as $1+$0.10 via the many daily qualifiers.

The Grand is a $1000+$40 buy-in No Limit Texas Hold’em freeze out tournament with starting stacks of 10,000 and blind increases every 30 minutes. The Grand tournaments take place over two days, making this a completely unique event. The way it works is that it starts on the Saturday at 7:00PM GMT and after 6.5 hours the tournament is paused only to regroup on the Sunday at 7:00PM GMT.

There are two routes to qualify for The Grand, either through a four stage SnG route or through a four stage scheduled Multi-Table tournament route.

Both routes have the same buy-in for each of their four stages. The difference between the two routes is that the Multi-table route is scheduled at various times throughout the week and the SnG stages start when enough players have joined.

Stage One Qualifiers cost $1+$0.10

Stage Two Qualifiers cost $7+$0.70

Stage Three Qualifiers cost $30+$3

Stage Four Qualifiers cost $120+$10

Players may enter the various stages as they see fit, either climbing the ranks from the Stage One, or buying in direct for $1000+$40. It is completely up to the player. Good Luck!

RedKings Poker Tournaments with Overlays

A tournament overlay is the result of guaranteed prize money that is not offset by the participant's buy-ins. As such, all freerolls and FPP freerolls always offer an overlay.

As part of the OnGame Poker Network, with its many players and tournaments, overlays at RedKings Poker are inconsistent and not too common. Players who are looking less for big-prizepools and more for overlays would be better served to try the tournaments here that run at the late night hours for any chance of an overlay.
