Poker for iPhone
iPhone mobile poker, one might be led to conclude, is still seen by Apple as the spawn of the devil. For those who are a little more liberal in their outlook, and who enjoy a good came of cards, there are ways around this apparent embargo on iPhone poker.
You might think that a Java-based online poker room (like Absolute Poker, for example) might offer a way through, especially as, unlike Flash, you can actually install Java on the iPhone. The problem here is that the phone really doesn’t handle it at all well – iPhone Safari just doesn’t provide full functioning support for Java (yet).
Poker for iPhone lovers is available – you just have to be a little canny about how you get to play it on your handset. Due to Apple’s antipathy to their product, none of the online poker sites have bothered to write native software specifically for poker on iPhone. But where there’s a will, as the old adage would have it, there’s a way, and many iPhonophiles who want to play poker are finding it.
mFortune Mobile Casino has launched one of their most popular games for the iPhone users. The game is HiLo Poker, and although it is a traditional Draw Poker, the player does not compete against the dealer or other players, rather simply tries to obtain the highest hand possible, which pays out according to a pay table.
Draw Poker (or otherwise known as Video Poker) is one of the most popular gambling games all over the world and now you can play Poker on your mobile phone or Iphone! In Draw Poker, you place your bet before the cards are dealt. Your five cards are then shown on the screen. Hold the cards you want then hit the Deal button to draw the new cards. If you have a winning poker hand, you’ll be paid according to the poker odds table.
Draw Poker follows the standard poker rules regarding the value of the different poker hands. But unlike traditional casino poker, you are not playing against a dealer or other poker players. You are simply trying to obtain the highest poker hand possible, which will pay out according to the payout table.
