iPhone WSOP Game
Introduction
We all know it’s been some time now since you needed to be sat at home in front of your PC to play an online poker game, so long was you had a web enabled cell phone – you could be playing internet poker anywhere and anytime. The great news at the start of this year is that the WSOP Hold ‘em Legends game is now available on everyone’s favorite cell phone – the iPhone.
What’s on offer
Fancy hooking up with her to play poker, or something else over the phone?
In a nutshell you can enter any of the 25 various cash games and tournaments; that are set in seven different venues including places like Caesars Palace and the Rio Las Vegas. However, don’t think you’ll have to be playing alone like many cell phone poker video games – as you can select a multi-player function whenever you have a good internet signal. Also, don’t worry if you’re in an environment with a poor internet signal, as you can even play heads-up using a Bluetooth connection with a particular friend on a peer-to-peer basis. Having registered your user/player name and initiated an avatar you can go straight to one of the local-pub, $1 – $2, cash games with your ‘start-up’ $100 bankroll. When you’ve built your bankroll up to four or five hundred then you can start to move up through the Legends games with ever increasing buy-ins. Make it to the final and you’ll be sitting at a $250k Main Event two table tournament.
Poker on the iPhone
Needless to say playing poker on an iPhone is simplicity itself. The touch-screen means you can move your chips around as easily as if you were sliding them over a real poker table and all the on-screen operations are highly intuitive, for example to fold simply slide your cards into the muck area. If watching the whole of a game play out is just too time consuming for you, simply tap the screen and the game will fast forward to its conclusion. Now that Google have finally launched their Nexus cell phone – let’s hope we can soon get some decent competition going as to who offers the best mobile poker games.
