SOFTWARE
You are required to download Microgaming’s
Roxy Poker software in order to start playing.
Overall graphics are not that good compared to
the other Poker software offered by their competitors,
and the lack of player Avatars decreases the “fun
factor” a bit. But the user interface is
pretty much basic and very intuitive. It is as
simple as it can get, with regards to poker software.

1. Texas Hold'em
2. Omaha High
3. 7 Card Stud

promotions Roxy Poker provides its members.
