The website for Big Dollar is a bit of a surprise. I know that a lot of poker rooms on the microgaming/prima network have integrated casino games. And, since Big Dollar began as a casino, I really did expect that they would have done the same.

Instead, the website promotes the casino over the poker room. Obviously a website can change in a moment, but as I look at it today, there is an ad for Thunderstruck, one of the big video slots online. The room's average payout percentage is posted prominently. Poker rooms don't advertise payout percentages, casinos do.

Actually, I couldn't find the poker part of Big Dollar Poker. The download page wants you to download the casino games. The Flash no-download page opens up into a casino, not a poker room. It looks like the poker part of Big Dollar Poker has left the building!

There is no information on welcome bonuses, for any of the games. No information to do with any of the events taking place on the network. It really does look as though Big Dollar Poker has closed up the poker room and gone back to concentrating on the casino only.
