Software
The software of Empire Poker is nice and easy to use. Table graphics are not too impressive. There are characters sitting at the table but one does not have an option of choosing an appearance for the player. Anyway, that does not affect the playbility and even makes the players concentrated on the game itself. By the way the game doesn’t eat up computer's resources. Connection to their server is always constant and delays or disruptions are rare.
