1. New buy-in and rebuy screens for cash games
- The Auto rebuy is now easier than ever.
Enabling an Auto rebuy is done simply by checking the Auto rebuy checkbox.
The auto rebuy has two options:
- Auto rebuy to your initial buy-in / last rebuy when your table bankroll has fallen below your initial/last buy-in amount
- Auto rebuy your initial/last buy-in amount when your table bankroll has reached 0
- The Auto rebuy configuration will be saved for any future table you open
- The Rebuy screen works in the same way
2. New sounds
- Two new sounds were added
- A small ping when it is your turn to play
- Raise sound
- Two sounds were changed due to your requests
- Check sound was recorded (tapping twice on a poker table)
- Alert when you have 9 seconds to act.
3. Mark open tables in the lobby
It is now very easy to know which tables are already open;
Any table that is currently open will be highlighted in the lobby.
4. Minor changes
- Immediate client language change
Once you change your software language from the settings you will not need to reopen the software
- Change the name of the table in windows task bar to better distinguish between open tables.
- New logic reflects more accurate numbers in 'players/flop' and 'Average pot' columns in the main lobby

- Display Rebuy and Add-ons in the tournament lobby
Sit And Go improvements
1. Rematch Heads Up Sit & Go
Following a two player Heads Up Sit & Go tournament, a rematch proposal will be offered to the two players, as displayed in the following screen:
If both players opt for a Rematch (by clicking the Rematch button) a new tournament will begin automatically with both players registered to the tournament.
The Rematch offer is limited to one minute (a countdown will be displayed at the center of the rematch invitation).
2. Replay the same Sit & Go
Once you have finished a Sit&Go tournament, whether you won or not, you will be able to quickly register to a similar "Open for registration" tournament by pressing OK on the following pop up:
Language change from within the client
It is now possible to change your poker client language within the Settings menu.
All you need to do is:
- Click Settings in the lobby menu
- Click "Language"
- Move to the "Language/Sound" tab
- Select your preferred language for your Pacific Poker software.
Once you change the language you will be asked to restart your poker software. The new language will be displayed once the software has been reopened.
Please note that if you change the language to one you do not understand it might be a challenge to find this setting again.
Improved "Last Hand" history
When clicking "Previous Hand" on the table's View menu, the previous hand will now be displayed at its final state (with all the showdown cards displayed and even the mucked cards).
Display Rebuy and Add-ons in the tournament lobby
In Rebuy and Add-on tournaments (Sit&Go and scheduled tournaments) the number of rebuy and add-ons that were made during a prize play tournament will be displayed in the prize pool area.
Version 5.6 (June 2009)
Rewards Program enhancements within the client
1.Rewards Status and Rewards Personal Page in the main lobby
The main lobby has been further enhanced with new features allowing players to keep up-to-date with their Rewards Status. Your Rewards Status will be permanently displayed underneath the cashier button in the main lobby. Clicking on your status will open your Rewards Personal Page where you can check your rewards program status, Reward Points balance, how many points you are away from reaching the next status and much more. To read more about our rewards program, click here.
2. Status Progress Bar on the table
To better track your Rewards Status progress we have added a new Status Progress Bar to Ring Games.
If you have an active pending bonus you can control which progress bar you wish to have displayed on the table (Bonus Progress Bar, Status Progress Bar or neither) by going to the settings option and marking the bar you wish to see during play.
Multi tabling enhancements
1. New queuing mechanism while multi tabling
The new queuing mechanism that accompanies multi tabling means that playing 6, 8, 10 and even 16 tables simultaneously becomes much easier. The new system puts each table that requires an action into a chronological queue. When a table requires an action it will wait in line until you attend to it and will pop under your current active table. Once you perform an action on the first table from the queue, the table will be sent to the end of the line and the next table that requires an action will pop up for you to make a decision, and so on.
2. Open Identical table feature
The new "Open Identical" feature allows players to open an additional Ring Game or Sit&Go tournament with the same specification as the previous table on which you were playing, without the need to go through the lobby.
All you are required to do is click the "Open Identical" button on the table and the system will try to find you an exact Ring Game or Sit&Go tournament that has open seats.
3. Open identical Sit & Go from the tournament lobby
If you missed the registration for a Sit&Go or have seen a running Sit&Go tournament that you wish to participate in, with the same tournament specification, a new button is now available to save you the hassle of searching for the same tournament from the lobby.
