I like Pacific more than most reviewers. The games are no slower than those on Prima and Paradise, though they are slower than Party/Empire. I find the software o.k. for note taking. Some games are loose as a goose, but not all. The bonus takes a long time, but that doesn't bother me much as I plan to pluck pigeons there for awhile. One negative is that the rake on a $5 pot is 10 whopping percent. It gets more rational as the pot increases and is only a problem for those in the micro mini games. But, still, they exact a high price from those just learning the game.
