New Arcade View Table Layout

Arcade View uses a simple and intuitive design, gone is the clutter and elements secondary to game play. The 40% bigger cards are a plus for players who resize their tables. To get to the table, pick the table you want to play at, open the table, click Menu (at the table) > Views > Arcade View. If that does not take your fancy why not try the mini view perfect for players that don’t like clutter. To set your desired view as your default view so that all tables open in your preferred view, click Menu (at the table) > Views and ensure there is a tick next to Use as Default. If there is no tick, click on Use As Default and all tables will open in this view.

Queue Table Actions

Never miss a hand as the table that needs the most urgent attention will pop to the front. This will only be replaced once you have performed your action. To turn on this handy feature on, open up a table click Menu>Options>General options and make sure there is a tick next to the Queue Table.

Late Registration Tournaments are now even more visible!

Look out for the late registration icon in the lobby and get into the action even after a tourney has started. Better late than never!

Improved poker client performance

There has been some technical work done on the poker client so tables will now load and react faster.

Auto Top Up

Auto Top-Up is a new feature that enables you to automatically top up your table balance as soon as it drops below a predetermined threshold. This feature is only applicable to Cash games.

Improved Waiting List

The system is now updated to offer as many seats as are available, to Players on the waiting list simultaneously. For example, if three seats became available, those seats are offered simultaneously to three Players on the waiting list. Another significant improvement is that the system dynamically creates a new table if enough Players, with similar criteria, are waiting. Players are offered a seat at the new table as soon as the required number of Players are seated.

5-minute Sit Out Time

You can now sit out of the action on full tables for five minutes. This replaces the previous system that was based on Big Blinds.

New Bet Slider

You  can now personalise and configure the Bet Slider to suit your own playing style. You will be able to set and save slider profiles based on different parameters including, game type, game limit and raise by, to and total. Access the Bet Slider configuration settings from either the Lobby or from the game.

To access the Bet Slider from the Lobby, players must:

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

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

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

DeepStack cash tables

In response to your requests we have added “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 enjoy them!

Cash game Ante tables

Get more action and play for bigger pots in Ladbrokes Poker’s new No-Limit and Pot-Limit ante cash games. Ante games are played the same as regular cash games, except that each player must ante (place a bet) a certain amount before the hole cards are dealt. Once the blinds and antes have been posted, the rest of the hand will play out like a regular cash-game hand, with the antes adding extra incentive to win the pot.

This is the same game type 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 the way the pros like it and sit down at an ante table today.

Survivor Tournaments

Survivor tournaments are a new type of tournament. At set times during a Survivor Tournament a percentage of the Players with the smallest chip stacks are removed from the tournament. Survivor tournaments are fast paced and have a fixed duration. These are ideal tournaments for Players that have limited time to play. We will be adding Multi table Survivor and Single table Survivor tournaments for your delight!

Double up Sit 'n Go tournaments + Bounty Sit and Go Tournaments

We have now added the chance to play these tournaments in Euro’s against a wider audience, so take advantage of the strategy you have learned, join, play and win today via the Sit and Go/ Single table tournament tab from the lobby.  Euro tables are named “Double Up 10 seat�.

Bounty Sit and Go Tournaments have also recently been added in the single table tournament tab. 50% of the buy in will go to the prize pool and 50% as a bounty on your head. Join a table today, there’s bounty to be had at Ladbrokes Poker!

Double Buy-Ins for re-buy Multi-Table Tournaments
