PRIMA NOW THIRD MOST POPULAR POKER VENUE

Latest Poker Pulse survey shows solid gains for Prima Poker network

The online poker Bible, Poker Pulse has released its latest list of top sites showing some dramatic traffic gains by the Microgaming-powered Prima Poker Network which carries 35 leading brands.

PokerPulse rankings are based on observed total real money players and estimated ring game pots and the current list is for the period ending the second quarter 2005.

The giant Party Poker operation still maintains a significant lead in the industry at the top of the list and continues to benefit from the massive publicity surrounding its recent IPO on the London Stock Exchange.

The high profile and skilfully marketed Poker Stars is second, but Prima has moved up and supplanted longtime number 3 Paradise Poker, owned by the Sportingbet organisation.

Way back when, Paradise was the top online poker venue before being unseated by Party Poker. It has now dropped to seventh position.

The much publicised Bodog.com poker room is dead tied in 14th place with Full Tilt Poker and an interesting struggle is developing between the two highly visible rooms.

Boss Media's International Poker Network is doing well at number 12.

This is the Top Ten on Poker Pulse.

2 PokerStars
