Iron Duke Overview
IronDuke.com is a poker room part of the Merge Gaming Network along with skins such as CarbonPoker.com, RumblePoker.com, PokerNordica.com, GoldenArchPoker.com and Poker.com. Even though the Merge Gaming Network accepts U.S. players, the volume of traffic is still low in comparison to other networks. The IronDuke.com mission statement says that the site’s systems “have been subjected to a risk analysis and a audit plan has been established to ensure that the gaming systems comply with the Commission’s requirements,” that providing “a safe and secure gaming environment at all times” is a priority and that this is done “using the latest available technology to ensure a collusion-free gaming environment.”
Carbon Poker and Iron Duke make up the Merge Poker Network, with Carbon Poker being the flagship site.

A daily $500 freeroll is available for new depositing players and the 2 hourly $50 freerolls are open to all the members of the site.
Iron Duke Software Features
The software provider of IronDuke.com is PokerCS.com. The gameplay features are unique, for instance, the IronDuke accolades allow you to show off your achievements in case you win a big tournament by getting a customizable ribbon on your player box and awarding stars for regular play. There’s an in-game option that lets you choose from tags such as sharks, fish, bluffers, and more.
The table graphics are custom and change according to the tournament or satellite played. If you make a final table the graphics change to an upgraded tournament final table under the spotlights. You can see the “chances of winning” percentages for the players that are all-in. You can expose just one card in case you are the last person to fold or the winner of the hand. The lobby is organized and supplies enough information and multi-table is supported at great speed.
