Poker Nordica was launched in Febuary of 2007 on the Merge gaming network by a Danish company called Casinokontanter. Although they are very new, thanks to residing on the Merge Network they are already showing real money player statistics of 3,000 ring game and 7,500 tournament players at peak hours as of December 2011.Poker Nordica offers every variation and stake of poker including Texas Holdem, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, Seven Card Stud and Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo in all versions, Razz, 2-7 lowball, A-5 lowball, Five Card Draw, Five Card Stud, Badugi, H.O.R.S.E. and other mixed games. The limits offered are $.50-1.00 up to $50-100 for Limit Hold'em, $.10-.25 up to $10-20 for No Limit Hold'em, $1+.10 up to $5000+100 for Sit n Go tournaments and $1+.10 up to $500+30 for Multi-table tournaments. Being on the Merge network competition is a little tough but being closely tied to the casino side of the site that they do recruit players from your bound to run into alot of newbies as well.
Poker Nordica runs a few promotions other than the deposit bonus mentioned above including a frequent player program where you earn points on raked hands and tournament buy in fees which can be redeemed for merchandise and tournament buy ins as well as gain entry to VIP Freerolls. They also run a $10,000 VIP race, raked hand race and a VIP race. The VIP points race runs monthly and the player with the most VIP points wins $2,500 and the remainder of the $10,000 is divided among the rest of the leader board. The other two promotions are the same idea but are held weekly and pay only $250. Poker Nordica also has a bad beat jack pot thats been known to reach over $130k.
Being on the Merge Network, Poker Nordica's software is very sleek and fast offering great playability. Some of the special features that the software includes are a rabbit cam, the ability to show one card when folding or winning a hand without showdown, and the option to run out the board twice on some tables.
Overall Poker Nordica is a good place to play poker and offers some good promotions. The only thing that I find them lacking is that the sign up bonus is rather small compared to other sites on the Merge Network.
