Rumble Poker is a brand new room on the Merge Gaming Network which means you will be playing with other players from Carbon Poker and alike. The room boasts one of kind software that can only be found by poker rooms supported by Merge, as well as great promotions, sign up bonus and of course mega sized freerolls such as the monthly $50K freeroll. They do accept US players and as such, have an ample supply of depositing and withdrawal options. A few other key features in this room include; loose games, re-load bonuses and fast payouts.
All new players to Rumble Poker will receive a (name of bonus) which is very easy to clear. The poker room is quite generous when it comes to comp points so you should be able to clear your signup bonus at Rumble within a few sessions. The bonus is released in $10 increments which will be automatically deposited into your player account once you have accumulated the required amount of points. In addition to this you will also receive entry to the $50K qualifier as well as the new depositor freerolls held daily.
The competition at Rumble Poker is very loose right across the board. The room is still new as is the network and they have attracted plenty of novice players who increase the viewed flop percentage up to 60%. This is significantly higher than the majority of poker rooms online.
The ring game selection available provides more than just your standard games with Texas Holdem, Omaha , Omaha Hi Lo, Seven Card Stud, Seven Card Stud Hi Lo, 5 Card Draw, Razz, HORSE and finally 2-7 Triple Lowball all supported. Each of the games is available in their respective limits with the majority of the action found at the Holdem and Omaha games. Beginners can take advantage of super low stakes with the smallest stake available fixed at $0.02/$0.04 and increasing as high as $50/$100. Although the poker room is still quite new they have been able to attract a medium sized player base with over 2,000 real money players online during peak hours. Rumble Poker takes a 5% rake from each pot and supports the no flop no drop rule.
The tournament schedule features all of the variations we mentioned above with very small buy-ins giving new players a chance to learn something other than basic Holdem or Omaha . Multiple formats are supported such as freezeouts, re-buys, guarantees and satellites to larger events found on the site. The biggest events held at this room are on weekends where they offer a $10K and $20K GP, which in our opinion are filled with value since they typically do not generate enough buyins to cover the guarantee and the cost of the seats are quite cheap when comparing to other rooms. Tournaments generally start at $1 buyins and climb as high as a couple hundred depending on which event they are running. The poker room also supports many freerolls with a new one starting every couple of hours. Once you become a real money player and make your first deposit you will receive entry to the new depositor's daily games with a $500 prize pool. As you earn points you can qualify for the daily $1,000 freerolls or the monthly $50K.
The software is one of the best around and is not only creative but completely unique. The qualities of graphics are all featured in high resolution with top speed. What sets Rumble Poker apart from others is a few key features such as the smileys, which are action based emoticons activated by the words you type into your chat box. In addition to this you can also take notes on your opponents and tag them but in a more appealing method. Once a player has been tagged you will be notified by an instant messenger type service on your PC when they have come online and what table they are playing at. Other features include the rabbit cards which allow you to see how a hand would have played out if it did happen and the show one card, where you can show your opponents only one of your hole cards instead of two. The poker room still supplies all your basic features such as in lobby stats, four colour decks, hand histories and multi-tabling. Multi-tabling is available for up to four games at once using the full view mode. Overall this room rocks in the software department and receives very little complaints.
