Really, you just want to see your cards, the table and the amount of chips in play and while that is all here, it’s all a bit too messy. Eventually all the gangster styling, gestures and clothing just gets in the way. This is all good, but I can’t help miss the ultra clean stylings of Texas Hold ‘Em. On top of that, there’s also a little bit of a single player plot where you take on various bosses and their henchmen in sleazy looking locations around the fictional town of Prominence. Aside from playing dress up with your avatar, you also get to try to fake people out with physical gestures (that no-one will notice because they’ll be too busy looking at the things on the screen that matter). So, you’re probably realising that Prominence Poker does actually try to have a bit of personality. Which is a smart decision by the publishers as the original Texas Hold ‘Em initially to make it catch fire.

The choice is yours though, especially as the game itself is free to play. Or you can buy them using actual real money. The idea is that you keep coming back to earn that new jacket or whatever so that you look like a high roller in those online matches. The game is quite heavily into customisation.

Apart from one trophy that requires you to stack up a ridiculous two billion credits. You do get given extra pocket money each day (thanks to the ‘daily cut’) which keeps you in the game as well. By limiting your chips, it cuts down on the number of idiots who go all in on the first hand, hoping to take a 50/50 chance of winning it or losing it all. You can also spend it tarting up your in-game avatar with new clothes and accessories. Prominence Poker offers you a safer way to end poker by giving you a heap of ‘chips’ (that’s your money, essentially) and then letting you use it to buy into single player or online matches. With five cards on the table and your two cards, you make a hand of five cards and then you lose all your money, your spouse leaves you and you end up living in a cardboard box and drinking cans of Stella. Then three ‘community’ cards are put down on the table (that everyone can use), followed by a fourth and finally a fifth. I’m not going to explain the rules here beyond saying that each player is given two cards. This is pretty much everyone’s default poker variant ever since it got insanely popular about ten years ago and then disappeared off of our television screens forever. This is a new console generation and there’s probably room for a new poker game and Prominence Poker pretty much delivers what it needs to but it does add some extra stuff in there which may be to your taste, or it might not be.

Just put your cards on the table, so to speak.

You can keep your World Series of Poker licensing and all that. There’s nothing more that needs adding to a poker than just the poker. Other poker games came and went but they were pointless. We all got it, we all played it until we were sick of it.
