RedKings provides not just poker, but a separate section for Casino Games as well. Members need only one account to access poker and casino games. The software is very stable and fast, with sleek graphics. Players may also choose the no-download flash version, not quite as graphically crisp as the downloadable version, but just as easily playable. Mac users will especially appreciate the flash version as it is automatically compatible (no add-on downloads required). Good game variety, consistent tournaments, regular promotions and an enticing sign-up bonus complete the overall package.
