Straighforward Play
Play the classic card game at African Palace Poker and you should be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to join the world of online poker.

Instructions for how to make your “moves” during a game are very straightforward. You can, of course, choose to sit out at any time by simply clicking on that button. If you don’t have the hand you need to compete in that particular round, simply choose “Fold” or “Fold to Any Bet.” As with most online-poker rooms you can see how good a hand you have by selecting “View Hand Strength.” If you have stayed in for all five cards you can see how strong your hand is in relation to pot size. This can be very helpful for those learning the game. It might even come in handy for a veteran, now and then.
Every top poker site has re-buy options, as button for returning to the main lobby and so on. African Palace Poker has these and some very useful options that are found at all good sites:
- Hand history lets you get a better idea of how the hands have been played during the session;
- Stats on the current session are also available at any time.
If you want a few minutes away from the poker table but don’t want to leave African Palace, simply choose to play some Blackjack by clicking on the two cards at the side of the poker screen. The site also lets you change the table view, change card colours and add notes on opponents for future reference.
