We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. Fortune Poker Room Review. Fortune Poker is located on East Valley Road in Renton, and folks say it has some of the best food and promotions in the area.The poker room has a full-service restaurant, which serves a combination of American, Chinese, and Vietnamese cusinne 24/7.
Fortune Poker, one of the longer standing poker rooms on the internet, officially shut down its games Monday, ending a nine year run. The poker room had been living, albeit at a subsistence level, on Boss Media’s International Poker Network (IPN).
Customers of Fortune Poker received an e-mail about a week ago informing them of the business decision. Around the same time, this message was posted on Fortune Poker’s website:
Dear Valued Customers,
Vegas Poker
Over the past 9 years, we have been very grateful to service you and provide you with the most personal and VIP oriented poker room online. With many changes in the online gaming industry, it has been a struggle to continue to support our players and affiliates to the fullest. While we have grown very fond of our Players, Partners and Affiliates – we regret to inform you that Fortune Poker has made the unfavorable decision to close its gaming/poker operations.

As mentioned previously, Fortune Poker was on the International Poker Network. The IPN was never a gigantic network, but it had been respectable, making its way into the top ten in cash game traffic at one point, according to the rankings published by PokerScout.com. It has struggled mightily in recent times, though, now languishing in just 26th place with a seven day average of only 320 cash game players. Even in the short term, the network has seen a precipitous drop in its cash game numbers. Just two months ago, the IPN had 900-1,000 players at its highest point during the day, but that figure has quickly fallen to anywhere in the 500’s to 700’s.
Club Fortune Poker Room
As one might guess, the International Poker Network does not have many member poker rooms, but it does have few old, familiar names such as Paradise Poker, Poker Heaven, and InterPoker.
