The main difference between iPhone poker apps and online poker is the element of gambling for money. You cannot play for money using iPhone, nor is there likely to be this possibility any time soon. Whilst this might deter those with a more competitive streak, many people use them as a fun way to pass the time and meet people, and poker apps are gaining steadily in popularity.
There are now several review sites dedicated to the growing trend of poker apps. Search the net to check out what apps are available, and distinguish between the good, the bad and the downright ugly!
iPhone poker apps such as the critically acclaimed Zynga Live Poker, or the high-profile Apple Texas Hold'em are two of the most popular iPhone poker apps, but there are several available. Zynga is easy to use, as it is similar to other online poker rooms, and one great feature is that it allows you to play with your friends via Facebook. And if you don't have enough friends, you can play with over a million people using the Zynga gaming network!
Apple Texas Hold’em is the official Apple offering and lives up to it’s expectations, with the ability to play against up to eight people via Wi-Fi. Whichever is your iPhone poker app of choice, you can be sure of whiling away those hours on buses or at airports.
