Zynga Poker - Texas HoldEm Poker on Facebook

Today, I have personally tested and reviewed one of the most talked about no download poker games out there, Zynga Poker -- well-known simply as Texas HoldEm Poker on Facebook --, and I must initially say I'm surprised.

Zynga doesn't offer real money wagering at all. Instead, Facebook users play using in-game currency known as chips. The game also utilizes what's known as Casino Gold, which you can use to buy gifts for your Facebook friends. Though that part doesn't really have to do with the game at all, it's a nice perk to it. Also, I reckon that Zynga has found a very good way of utilizing the social media craze to hype their game up in this way!

The game tables load up really fast, and the gameplay seems more or less flawless. I played for a little over three hours - and busted my imaginary bankroll when I took a shoot at the "high-stakes" tables, of course - with little to no complaints. The software is great!

The biggest downside to the game, in my opinion, is that the pace feels very slow. This is probably due to the fact that most or all of the players are only playing casually. Perhaps, you shouldn't take the games all too seriously, or you'll most likely become irritated at the table pace sooner or later.

Overall, Zynga Poker is great if you're looking for one of the more relaxed online poker games out there. And if you're a Facebook user - who isn't, by the way? - you'll be seated at a table within minutes at any time!
