Golden Riviera Overview
Golden Riviera is a skin of the Microgaming Poker Network that shares its player base and software with other sites on the network, including Battlefield Poker, Crazy Poker, Doyle’s Room, PokerTime and Purple Lounge. The player traffic of Golden Riviera is constantly increasing. Although the Microgaming Poker Network accepts U.S. players, there are restrictions and some states are not allowed to play. According to the mission statement of this site, Golden Riviera “represents a cultivated poker community, in which online poker players can embrace non stop refined poker action and quality service.”
They share the same player base and software platform with all the other skins on the Microgaming network, so if you have played at sites such as Betway Poker or BetOnBet Poker, you will feel right at home.
