Noble Poker is one of the newer reputable poker rooms. Peak player volumes is around 800 at the moment but growing fast. Noble Poker has one of the largest sign on bonuses of any reputable poker room with 100% match bonus on initial deposit up to $700/£700 (but very difficult to turn bonus into money so read the match bonus terms very carefully to avoid disappointment). Operated by one of the most successful online casinos (one of which is Casino Tropez which was voted second most popular online gaming institution in a poll conducted by the BBC, second only to the UK National Lottery), Noble Poker is clearly aiming to grow quickly. Rather than spending millions of advertising, Noble Poker is clearly trying to attract players by offering great value and incentives. Noble Poker is at the moment geared towards the smaller stake players with micro limits, low high stake limits and plenty of low buyin tourneys. However, this is clearly changing with the $100 million prize tournament.

The most attractive feature of Noble Poker apart from its high sign up bonus is the extremely soft action and loose players.

• Texas Hold Em
• Omaha
• Omaha Hi/Lo

There is little action, if any, at any of the poker variants other than Texas Hold Em.

This is where Noble Poker excels and offers a unique experience of any other poker room. Noble Poker is the world's first and only poker site that allows you to choose your favorite viewing mode. The 2D version is shown below which is of fairly low graphics quality. However, you have the option to choose whether you want to see the table history to the right or you can cancel that window completely. If you want to only have the chat, you can select in options only to see the chat bubbles. You can check the table hand history. The player statistics functions work well and contain good information. Interesting sound options available.

But if you are not worried about computer memory, then the 3D table view is far more interesting (as shown below) and creates a greater interactive experience. You can select the player avatar of your choice.

Interesting and unique betting bar which at No Limit is extremely useful as shown above. The bets have to be made fairly quickly which is indicated by the circular time bar; this makes for a fairly quick game. No time to make the coffee between plays. There is no player notes function which is a shame.

Reasonable player volumes at around 900 at peak times with the majority playing Texas Hold Em, which is quite decent considering that Noble Poker is a relative newcomer into the world of online poker. It is growing rapidly which is due partly to its generous sign up bonus of 100% match up to $700 which is by far the highest of any poker room that we have come across.

Noble Poker runs a regular tournament schedule as shown below. Apart from the scheduled events, Noble Poker has frequent low entry sit and go tournaments as well as satellite qualifiers for WSOP events and other large cash purse tournaments. Frequent freerolls with prize pools between $100 to $300 (with the $100 and $200 freerolls free to enter for all as there is no raked hand requirement). Although the tournament schedule is fairly weak at the moment, they are great value for the players as the entry fee taken by Noble Poker is the lowest around at only 5% rather than the usual 10%. Regular satellite events to WSOP events which makes Noble Poker a great choice for those who aim to qualify for a WSOP event - low poker room commission and a bunch of morons playing at the site.

With player volumes so low, the Guaranteed events are very, very good value. Often the players have a very large positive expected outcome as they rarely meet the numbers whereby the players contribute the entire prize purse; Noble Poker at the moment subsidise many of the guaranteed events.
