Best Real Money Android Poker Apps |
|
Mobile poker has always been a popular game on iPhone and Android smartphones. Play for fun apps like Zynga Poker was popular long before the arrival of real-money poker apps from PokerStars and Full Tilt. A growing number of mobile poker sites now offer poker tournaments, Texas Hold'em cash games and speed poker. United States poker players can now play for real money on any iOS, Android, BlackBerry or Windows Phone device.
The first poker apps to hit the market offered little more than Texas Hold'em ring games. These days mobile poker sites offer a variety of poker variants, including Omaha Hi/Lo games. Fast fold poker is particularly suited to mobile devices where gamers want to play a few quick hands while they commute or kill time in a queue. The latest iPhone and Android poker apps now support Sit & Go and scheduled (MTT) tournaments. Bitcoin poker sites are growing in popularity because they can be played anywhere in the world, including the United States. Beginner poker players are well catered for with a growing list of poker tutorial apps that can quickly teach anyone the basics of the game. More advanced players can download poker odds calculator apps that will instantly tell you how strong your hand is. It remains to be seen whether mobile poker software will be developed for wearable devices like Google Glass, Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy Gear.
