Software (9)

Nobody wants logistical or procedural problems when they play, and Microgaming recognizes this as well as anybody. That's why they design the software with convenience, safety and security in mind. Some players like to have an easy experience, and with this game it is possible to have the software literally play the game for you through the process of AutoPlay. And with speed and sound adjustments at your fingertips, this is an absolute snap, because of the forward-thinking design.

Easy to Understand (10)

There is very little that is complicated about this game. It is very similar to Jacks or Better, except you will get paid on a pair of an even lower rank. There are no wild cards or fancy rules to worry about - just deal, hold, draw, and get a winner. This is perfect for the novice player, and does nothing to hold back the immediate or advanced players.

Graphics & Sounds (9)

One of the things a piece of Microgaming software allows the player to do is create his or her own "atmosphere." It is no different with Tens or Better Poker. That means you will be able to make adjustments to all the game sounds, background sounds and win sounds, which is something you can't block out in a "regular" casino, you know what I mean? There is nothing so involved about the graphics, and that's part of the beauty of this. You don't have to look around some fancy decorations to get at the cards, the commands, or the features.

Game Speed (0)

With Microgaming's design and features, you can play Tens or Better Poker as fast as you want, or as slowly as you want. This works out very well for the advanced player who wants to move thing along quickly and put more money across the "machine" in a shorter period of time. There are four different levels of speed - Slow, Medium, Fast and Fastest. As they say, you can't go any faster than 'Fastest,' can you?

Game Features (10)

If you wanted a game loaded with features, you have certainly come to the right place! We have already mentioned that sounds are completely adjustable, namely the game sounds, win sounds, background sounds, or all the sounds at once. AutoHold allows the player to let the software make decisions on which cards to hold and which to discard, and does it according to a mathematically-sound playing strategy. In the event you make your own playing decisions, Optimal Play Hints let you know when you are making the strategically-correct move. AutoPlay incorporates a lot of automatic features that will let you play without much interaction with the software. It will make decisions and bets for you and is available in Expert Mode.

Fun Factor (10)

Well, let's establish what is meant by "fun." Maybe it's a matter of being able to understand the game and play it without any trouble at all, combined with the flexibility of having great game options that enhance the experience every step of the way. And on top of that, the chance to double your payout after each winning hand. From that standpoint, this ranks very high on the list.
