Summing Up The sounds are great and so are the looks and the usability. The rating system is good although there is no special rating for new users - which could be a problem because a new good player has the same rating as a long term player who doesn't know how to play.
As with other backgammon sites, in order to play an account needs to be created. This Party account can be used for every brand of PartyGaming and your real balance can therefore be used to play backgammon, but also for the casino, to play poker and to play bingo. You can fund the account using a creditcard (Visa, Mastercard), FPS-ePassport, Entropay, NETeller, Money Transfer, Bank Wire Transfer and Moneybookers. The minimum deposit amount is $50.
PartyGammon.com Games Available
Party Backgammon offers games to play for free or games to play for real money, includes a variety of backgammon type games such as Nackgammon (Nack Ballard) and Hypergammon (super-fast variant of backgammon).
PartyGammon.com Player Traffic
It's easy to find a game at Party Gammon due to a huge player base already developped from their poker and casino software. Anyone already playing at Party Poker, which is a lot of folks at about 200,000 a day, can log in to the Party Gammon software using their same poker balance and account. This combining of games on the party platform also allows for many non-backgammon players to wander into the room looking to try it out, meaning some weak competition is available.
PartyGammon.com Quality of Players
The popularity of the service is another reason for the presence of the soft competition. These players are often identified by the green dots which are indicative of their player rating. However despite the green dots identifying ratings, you can't exactly tell who is new to the gaming service.
PartyGammon.com Tournament Info
Multi-table tournaments start for as low as $2.50 currently ranging up to $25 buy-ins. The tournaments are held sporadically throughout the day, at approximately one hour intervals. While the attendence of these events remain low for the time being, the popularity of the Party Gammon software is on the rise and expected to surpass the number of players at other competitors.
PartyGammon.com Software
The new 3 dimensional backgammon software, PartyGammon by party gaming is the newest backgammon server on the online backgammon scene. Its interface looks very good and realistic and it seems like the developers tried to use all the good features of the already existing backgammon softwares. The playing is very easy and friendly and the feel is much like the real game. The PartyGammon server uses a nice rating system, very similar to all others online backgammon softwares. Though, it has a problem - there is no special rating for new players and if you are using a new server with a new community which is, of course, occupied by many new players, a rating system that won't tell you who is new is not very helpful.
Summing Up PartyGammon had made great software. It is friendly, it has a great looks, the board, as a 3D board is very realistic and as a backgammon software it is very good. The problem with PartyGammon is that maybe, they did not understand that the most important thing in a backgammon community server is the community. Maybe with the time, it will get bigger and the problem with the rating system will be solved. Until then, the backgammon online provided by Party Gammon has no advantages over any existing backgammon game and the problems are too big.
