Free Iphone Applications

Live Poker

The people who brought you online gambling and online poker rooms now want to do the same for your iPhone and iPod Touch. With the introduction of the Live Poker App, that vision has now become a reality. The free App was released by Zynga.COM, the market leader in Social Gaming (which combines Social Networking and Online Gaming). The company has a foothold in almost all major social networks, including Facebook, Myspace, Bebo, Hi5, and Friendster.

This game requires internet access to play, as it needs to connect you to their poker severs upon loading. Once connected, you can sign with your Facebook profile or create a new account to play. Once you’ve done that, you can choose to quickly get assigned to a table, or you can choose your options and get assigned to a table of your liking. After that, the game continues like any other online poker room, with members joining and leaving, and chips exchanging hands. The good thing about free poker, is that, well, it’s free! You get awarded chips for everyday you come online, and you can always buy more chips through Zynga.com if you wish. Your chips can also be used for other things, such as buying one or more of your fellow player’s drinks. The options for the drinks range as well, from beers to martinis to champagne.

Although this App is fairly rough around the corners, there is no doubting the fact that it gets it’s job done. We also liked the fact that it can track your stats, and display your best hand and best win. Coupled with it’s massive database of active players, we think this App is a real winner. For that, we’re going to award it a well-earned 4 out of 5 stars.
