Anyone who’s seen The Sting, Rounders or pretty much any James Bond film will know how unequivocally cool poker is. Imagine if you could carry that level of cool around with you in your pocket? Well, with 888 Poker’s new iPhone app, you too can be as suave as 007…at the card table, at least. (Written in partnership with 888 Poker)
After winning Poker Operator of the year in 2011 and 2012, 888 Casino has decided to spread its wings and launch into the iPhone app world in a move that will make many gambling fans very happy.
The app itself is very smooth and clear; the login/password system makes it safe to use, a measure that is paramount because you will be playing with real money. If Texas Hold ’em is your game then you’re in luck because you can play 24/7 at their virtual table.
You can either play micro-stakes cash games or on a Sit & Go game so you can get off to a quick start. The graphics are similar to the online site, with beautiful cashiers taking and (hopefully) giving you your chips as you play the cards that you’re dealt.
You can easily switch between Money Play and Practice Play so you can see if Lady Luck is smiling on you before you risk your paycheck. Of course, James Bond would never do anything so crass as play for less than a grand a hand, but you don’t always have to live up to him…or do you?!
