Auto Top Up

Auto Top-Up is a brand new feature that allows you to automatically top up your table balance immediately when it drops below a predetermined threshold. This will only take place in Cash games.

Improved Waiting List

The system is now configured to offer as many seats as there are available, to players on the waiting list simultaneously. For example, if four seats are going spare, those seats are offered simultaneously to four players on the waiting list. Another notable improvement is that the system instantly creates a new table, if there are enough players waiting and are able to fill the table. Players are asked if they would like a seat at the new table immediately after the required number of Players are seated.

5-minute Sit Out Time

You can now take a break of five minutes when playing on full tables. This is instead of the previous system that related to Big Blinds.

New Bet Slider

You can now adapt and personalize the Bet Slider to suit your playing style. You will be able to change and keep slider profiles based on different parameters including, game type, game limit and raise by, to and total. The Bet Slider configuration settings can be accessed from either the Lobby or from the game.

To access the Bet Slider from the Poker Lobby, players should:

1. Choose the Menu button from the Menu bar (bottom left of the lobby).
2. Choose Global Table Options.
3. Choose Bet Slider from the drop-down list.

To access the Bet Slider from within the game, Players should:

1. Choose the Menu button, in the top right hand corner of the window. The menu is displayed.
2. Choose the Options option. The Poker Table Options dialog box will appear.
3. Choose the Bet Slider tab.

DeepStack cash tables

In response to your feedback we have included “DeepStack” No Limit Hold’em cash tables from 0.25/0.50 up to 5/10. These cash game tables have a minimum buy in of 100 x the big blind and maximum of 200 x the big blind. We hope you have fun with them!

Cash game Ante tables

Have more fun and play for bigger prizes in Ladbrokes Poker’s new No-Limit and Pot-Limit ante cash games. Ante games are played in exactly the same way as regular cash games, except that each player is required to ante (place a bet) a certain amount before the hole cards are dealt. After the blinds and antes have been posted, the rest of the hand will play out like a regular cash-game hand, with the antes making players more determined to win the pot.

This is the same type of game that pros such as Phil Ivey, Gus Hansen and Patrik Antonius play at the Big Game in Las Vegas, or on television shows such as Poker After Dark and High Stakes Poker. Play the game like a pro and take a seat at an ante table right now.

Survivor Tournaments

Survivor tournaments are a brand new type of tournament. At specific times during a Survivor Tournament a percentage of the Players with the smallest chip stacks are evicted from the tournament. Survivor tournaments are quick paced and have a set time limit. These are great for Players who only have a limited amount of time. We will be adding Multi table Survivor and Single table Survivor tournaments for your enjoyment!
