5Dimes is better known for its industry leading sportsbook than for the other operations that it runs. However, the truth is that all of 5Dimes’ programs are top notch, and you’re missing out if you haven’t tried the 5Dimes Poker Room.

To be accurate, there are two 5Dimes Poker Rooms. The main room is the 3D Poker Room, which offers a typical variety of games, though not with as much selection as many of the bigger rooms. They spread Texas Hold’em, Omaha, and Omaha Hi/Low, including fixed limit, pot limit and no limit games.

One of the most interesting things about this poker room is the way the games are presented. Rather than the 2D graphics found in most poker rooms, the 5Dimes 3D Poker Room is fully 3D, which creates a more immersive experience. The look and sound of the room makes it feel much more like playing in a live game at your local casino than at a generic online table. Even the players move around and react just like in real life. The 3D Poker Room also offers tournament play. The tournament schedule is pretty full, with several dozen tournaments going off each day – mostly Hold’em, ranging from freerolls to events with a $100 buy-in.

Another option at 5Dimes is their Flash Poker Room. The Flash version of their poker room has the distinct advantage of not requiring a software download, meaning you don’t need to put anything on your computer and can instantly play from anywhere. This room offers a slightly wider variety of games than the 3D room, including Seven Card Stud and Seven Card Stud Hi/Low games. Just like the 3D room, the Flash Poker Room offers tournament play in addition to the regular cash games.

From time to time, the 5Dimes Poker Room also offers some additional promotions, such as satellites into live tournaments, like the Latin Series of Poker. There are also contests held for players, such as the “King of Tournaments” event rewards players for winning six tournaments in a 24-hour period.  See all promotions here.

While the 5Dimes Poker Room may not be as polished as the 5Dimes Sportsbook or Casino offerings, it is still a solid entry. If you already have a 5Dimes Sportsbook account, and enjoy playing poker, I recommend opening an account in the 5Dimes Poker Room as well.

If you’re a more serious player and like to play lots of tables and for hours per night, we recommend going to another room where you can get online poker rakeback.
