The 888 Poker software is available in two formats;

• 888 Poker Download (Windows)
• 888 Poker Mac (No Download Poker Room Using Flash)

888 Poker's software is available to all players who have a PC that operates on Windows 95 or newer. They also have a flash version for those who have Mac computers. The 888 Poker Mac version works well and provides most of the same features you would find in the download version. The instant play version loads in any browser, allowing you to signup, make a deposit and play in cash games or tournaments without the need to download the client. The only major difference between the two versions is the graphics.

888 Poker offers a great software platform available in more than a dozen different languages and includes currency options allowing you to play in USD, Euros, Pounds and CDN.Updates are made on a regular basis with significant changes made every 2 to 3 months or so. Some of the most recent updates have included the ability to "rematch" when playing in heads up matches, the quick seat feature from within the lobby and the addition of hot keys.

888 Poker probably has one of the best laid out lobbies of almost any poker site. All of their games are placed at the top of the lobby where you choose from hold'em, omaha or stud and from there you simply choose whether you want to play a cash game, sit n go or multi table tournament. The tourney aspect of the lobby is fairly extensive as well. Players can tournament specific information like when the tournament starts, the starting stacks, prize pool and payouts all from the lobby.
The game filter is the most simple or prehistoric of any other I've seen, but it's self-explanatory and gets the job done. Simply choose what stakes you want to play, the limit and how many players per table and those games will be highlighted for you.  A simple, yet neat feature is having your account balance in the top right corner of the lobby. This is different from most sites because other sites make you go to the cashier to view your balance. Players can also access 888 Poker's poker school, blackjack tables, casino or place a sports bet all within the lobby. This is very convenient.  888 Poker has several features that make for an enjoyable experience at the tables.

Players will be able to choose between several table options including the classic table with chairs which is more of a bird's eye view, a table with avatars and the clear view which is more of a 3rd person view of the tables. In the case that you'd like to sit at the avatar table, there are several avatars to choose from to represent you. Some of the table features include being able to resize the tables, cascade or tile them. Players can also turn on options such as the 4-color deck, change the designs of the back of the card decks and are able to take detailed notes on their opponents. A really cool feature has to be the "your best hand" box. This tells you the best hand that could be made with your hole cards. This gets even better when playing omaha hi/lo since it will tell you both the best possible hi and lo hand given your hole cards.
