Summary (7.10)
Playboy Poker is a leading room on the CrytoLogic Network sharing
its players with other sites such as William Hill. The network is known for lots of
soft games with weaker opponents spilling over from the Casinos
and Sports books of the Network partners. While the software in
itself is nothing special it works well and the soft games,
monthly loyalty bonuses, and high value promotions more than
compensate for the its short fallings.
