Overall
LuckyAcePoker.com came into being in January of 2008. While they can't boast the history that some sites have, Lucky Ace is far from being a fly-by-night outfit or a novice in the genre of online poker. Lucky Ace not only has some rather impressive software, graphics that are a breath of fresh air, as well as creative promotions, but they have added a new wrinkle to the equation. They offer a Pokerbility poker pot odds calculator to anyone who makes a real money deposit to the site. People really can't argue with a site that is actually willing to help them make money at the game.
Software and Design
It can only be assumed that the Lucky Ace software development process was the exact opposite of the one used to create Microsoft Vista. In other words, they had the end user in mind when they created it. The software is powered by the 888 Group - an industry leader since 1997 serving over 25 million players worldwide.
The graphics are clean and attractive, but beauty is only skin deep. One of the reasons this site is a good place to play is that the interface is easy to understand and almost intuitive. This adds to the whole playing experience. Lucky Ace takes diversity seriously and supports a number of platforms. The following describes what the user needs to run the Lucky Ace software: Windows, Linux, Mac OS, 400MHz CPU, 256MB of RAM, screen resolution of 800x600 pixels with 16-bit color, 30MB of free disk space.
Games
No Limit, Limit, Fixed Limit Texas Holdem, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, Seven-Card Stud, Stud Hi/Lo
Tournaments
Lucky Ace has an entertaining variety of tournaments. There is a wide range of multi-table tournaments as well as a large number of sit and go tourneys. There are tournaments that have buy ins that are roughly equal to the price of a can of Dr. Pepper while others will require several thousand dollars and maybe a DNA sample to get in. In other words, there are tournaments for every taste.
Also the room offers $80K guaranteed events on Sundays, $2,000 Free Casino Mix-Up events every Thursday, as well as the Showdown Survivor Series where you could win your share of $12,500.
Competition
Like on many newer sites, the fish are plentiful. It would seem that the number of people willing to see a flop is higher here than on most sites. This paradigm seems to be consistent from the lowest limit play to the highest money games.
Deposits and Cashout
Credit/Charge Cards, Debit Cards, Bank Accounts (Online and Offline), ClickandBuy, ACTeCASH, FirePay by Telephone, MoneyBookers, NETELLER, Cash PrePaid Card, PayPoint e-Voucher, PaySafeCard PrePaid Cards, Ukash.
$50 minimum deposit when you use bank wire transfer. With other payment options $30 is a minimum deposit.
Bonuses and Promotions
Lucky Ace will match a player's initial deposit to the tune of 100%. The limit on this matching deposit bonus is $400. They don't just give new players money and send them on their way though, they add a little something to the bonus that will help players make the most of their extra cash. Those who make real money deposits will get a lifetime version of the Pokerbility odds calculator. Not only is this a $99.00 gift from Lucky Ace, but considering the fact that using Pokerbility will help users play more profitable poker, it is actually worth much more.
Lucky Ace Poker players also enjoy the progressive Bad Beat and Royal Jackpots.
