As of Tuesday, the 14^th of April, the world of online casinos will have lost two members of its family when CasinoRoom and PokerRoom are closed down for good. Players have been asked to transfer over to bwin once this change goes down. The casino operators are hoping to minimize any confusion or inconvenience. The sites that made headlines in the online casino realm for designing their rooms with cutting edge three-dimensional graphics are calling it quits. Poker players especially have relied on these sites for given them some great gaming action while playing any thing from Omaha High, Omaha High-Low, Five Card Draw, Texas Hold’em, Seven Card Stud and Seven Card Stud High-Low.

Like many different online casinos in the business, CasinoRoom and PokerRoom did take a hit in  terms of loss of revenue and player traffic once they made the move to exit the United States online gambling market. That decision came in the wake of the start of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. Engaging in multiple casino and poker games all at once had become quite the experience at PokerRoom. Players could opt to participate in as many as 12 separate tables at one time there. Plus players had access to some sweet shortcut keys that added some extra spice to the experience.

PokerRoom also appealed to casino and poker fans for the way they would allow you to log player notes and keep tabs on an assortment of different stats as you played the game. PokerRoom tried to appeal to every type of player, even those who used Mac and Linux machines by offering them a web-based version that would be compatible with their system. It was this sort of dedication and attention to detail that allowed the operations to have such a strong rapport with casino and poker players.
