Get Your Gaming Fix With iPhone Apps
Apple’s iPhone has been an enormous success and the tens of thousands of available apps and games have played a huge role in its popularity. The touch screen opens up plenty of possibilities and plenty of games and genres are tailor made for mobile gaming, especially those where you can easily pick up from where you left off your last game. Poker and casino games have been one of the most popular gaming niches for the iPhone since day one, with Apple itself kicking off the fun with its Apple Texas Holdem app.
Video poker online sites and other poker sites had offered mobile apps for years but the iPhone brings a much bigger audience to the game, giving poker players several options when it comes to enjoying their favorite game. While Apple Texas Holdem lets you compete against computer opponents (or against eight friends via the WiFi mode), you’ll need to turn to Zynga Poker or another similar app if you’re looking for multi-player poker action like you’ll find on online sites, with tens of thousands of players from around the world logged in at any given time.
Fans of casino games also have a lot to choose from, including apps and games that can teach you how to count cards at blackjack as well as enjoy a ton of popular games such as craps, roulette, and slots. Many casino games feature a learning and strategy mode, so it can be a great way to learn a new game on the plane during your next big trip to Vegas, Atlantic City, o Macau.
One thing to be aware of is that while you’ll have hundreds of casino and poker apps to choose from for your iPhone, the vast majority let you compete for play chips only. Apple is very strict about what apps are approved for distribution in the App Store and only a handful of apps have been approved that allow gambling for real money -- and all of those are for iPhone owners outside the US. The lack of support for Flash also prevents you from playing some of the best online slot machine games via a browser, too, so you’ll still need to keep your desktop or laptop around if you want to play for real money at various online sites.
