Smartphone and tablets have exploded in popularity, with global sales reaching almost 2 million last year. As a result, the gambling institutions that migrated online are now finding the mobile market to be the major platform of choice amongst players.

As Apple and Google have improved their security measures to allow real money wagering poker apps to their users, more variety has sprung up. Applications such as PokerStars Mobile, Poker by Zynga and Poker Night 2 have allowed players to access a huge range of games and stakes easily and from any location. Far from just being another convenient way to play, these mobile apps offer players a great opportunity to improve their skills, and even boost their bankroll.

Online poker sites and forums, such as www.pokervideos.org.uk, will offer visitors the strategic advice and video tutorials that they need to get started. This information is invaluable in your poker education, but it will do you no good unless you put it into practice.

Occasionally it’s good to take a a break from your usual poker grinding and enjoy playing some other relaxing casino games. Many poker players have already tried out casino slots and another great choice is a more traditional single player video poker. One of the most popular video poker games is Jacks or Better which can now be played with a smartphone & tablet on EuroGrand casino mobile!

EuroGrand Jacks or Better

In Jacks or Better players will find a fun and exciting video poker where the payout starts on a pair of jacks or higher. The game is a one draw poker and you have two chances of getting your winning hand, one at the start and the second one after you have swapped the cards you choose. Jacks or Better offers two doubling options in double up and half double, good for those gambling minded who want to take risk, but more casual gamers can of course opt to collect their winnings without any doubling.

888.com has always been one of the most reputable gambling / casino websites ever to be established on the world wide web, following an aggressive marketing strategy, they have managed to amass a large proportion of online gamblers from the general market.

888 is stable and most importantly it’s a name you can trust, with loads of players on its servers playing all kinds of house games, you should expect a lot of fish to wonder into the poker rooms. Level of play is always easier on poker servers integrated in casino websites, and that’s always a plus for you!

Part #2: PokerStars Mobile Changes the Game

It was about to happen sooner or later and two years after PokerStars had bought mobile gaming firm Cecure Gaming they finally launched PokerStars Mobile in late 2011. The world’s largest online poker site had been keeping a close eye on the development of mobile poker and now they were ready to bring it to the next level.

Until then most mobile poker apps had been ripped down versions of the desktop client’s without tournaments or multi-tabling. Switch Poker was an exception of this and their multi-tabling web app supported playing up to 4 tables simultaneously on an Android Tablet. Switch Poker had been the first one to introduce multi-tabling poker for mobile but they were too missing sit n’ go’s and tournaments amongst many other features normally found in the desktop software.

Part #1 First Real Money Mobile Poker Apps

The history of real money mobile poker dates all the way back to 2006. The pioneers of mobile poker were the notorious Ultimatebet and Pokerroom. Back then poker could be played on Java supporting cell phones and the apps had very limited features with low detailed graphics. First generation poker apps also often suffered from connection problems as the mobile networks hadn’t yet advanced enough to support real-time gaming. Other online poker sites that expanded for mobile in the following years were Cake Poker (the first real money windows mobile app), RedKings and Bwin.

Because the quality and playing experience with these apps were still lacking they didn’t became a huge hit amongst players. The cell phone technology and the wireless mobile networks needed to progress and when they did the time was finally right for mobile poker. It was time for the modern smartphone era.

Review

Ongame network was the first one to develop real money poker app for mobile but at first it was only made available by Bwin. Now RedKings is hopping on board with their recently launched Android Poker App and iOS apps will soon follow. 

RedKings Android Poker app is essentially the same as the Bwin one that we have reviewed in detail before. The app is very basic with only Texas Hold’em cash games available at the moment. RedKings Android supports No Limit, Pot Limit and Fixed Limit cash games up to $2/$4. The good news is that RedKings is planning on adding sit n’ gos and multi-table tournaments later on. There is no word on multi-tabling support yet, but one could imagine that it’s in the development at least for the Android Tablet and iPad versions.

Mobile Poker is becoming more and more popular in 2012 and many new poker apps are being introduced this year. Being able to play online poker anywhere you go has never been as fun and easy as it is with these new and improved mobile gambling apps. With 144.9 million smartphones sold in the first three months of 2012 alone and over 100 million tablets expected to be sold (by Abi Research) by the end of the year the mobile gambling markets are growing exponentially.

Many poker sites have already expanded their catalog to mobile poker and others will definitely follow. Smartphones have developed a lot in the last few years and with bigger and better screens they are better suited for mobile gaming. It’s even more fun playing with a tablet and the new generation of iPad and Android tablet’s can deliver sharp graphics, fast mobile connections and easy multi-tabling with large 10″ displays. One of the newest mobile poker apps launched this year is the 888poker Mobile HD for iPad. Does it deliver the goods and can it compete with PokerStars Mobile?
