Leonard Cohen once crooned, in only the way that Leonard Cohen can croon, “Everybody knows that the dice are loaded, everybody rolls with their fingers crossed.” Despite his recent financial troubles, it’s doubtful that the charming old troubadour is short of a buck or two, however, if he fancied trying his hand on his smartphone, here are a list of five gambling apps that may have him singing, “Hallelujah!”
1. Texas Holdem Poker
My favourite poker app. It’s free, you get $4,500 chips when you sign up and you can create your own profile to scare other players around the table. My Mr. T avatar is currently doing wonders for my bluffing prowess. There are all sorts of tips and tricks that you can pick up to stack the odds in your favour.
Price: Free
2. Roulette Royal – Casino
For those who lie to spin the wheel of financial fortune, look no further than Roulette Royal Casino. Invite your Facebook friends to play, have a peek at how much they have in their kitties and try and outwit the bots that fill up the seats around the table.
Price: Free
3. Slotomania
The King is dead! Long live Elvis! Everybody’s favourite Vegas performer will sit alongside you as you spin the wheel on the various slot machines such as the Elvis Machine on this addictive and exciting app. Match up those symbols and keep an eye out for bonus rounds, free spins and gifts from friends (I’m still waiting for my complimentary Cadillac, Elvis).
Price: Free
4. BlackJack Live Casino
Try your luck at James Bond’s personal game of choice on Abzorba Games’ live casino app. Double down or stick with what ’cha got while your Facebook friends (and foes) try and take every penny that ya got! Don’t let ’em, sonny!

5. Slots Social
Not quite as flashy as Slotomania, this fruit machine app aims to capture the essence of Vegas with its Stone Age and Treasure Island-themed slots. Experience all of the glamour of the neon city without any of the horror stories.
