Review
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!
Now, 888 has done a great job of migrating its online services to the mobile, bringing you the 888poker iPhone App now available in the App Store. Combined with house games and sports betting, the 888poker room is always buzzing and whilst the mobile version is only limited to Texas Hold’em Variations you can find a variety of games from no limit, to pot and limit games.Tables are either 6 handed or 9 handed and you can choose to play cash games with limits ranging from $0.03/$0.06 all the way to $3/$6. Sit and go tournament are also available but unfortunately no multi-table tournaments
Software
888poker for iPhone is presented in an extremely friendly yet sophisticated manner. When you first load up the application you are taken straight to the Beginners Lobby, where there is an easy to follow selection of low stakes cash games, sit and go’s as well as a heads up games and you can immediately join and start playing for real. If of course you are a bit more advanced you may want to skip the beginners lobby and jump into the cash or sit and go table in order to find the game that will best suit your needs.
The tables are extremely appealing, with a light grey background and soft blue colorations easy on the eyes you could be playing this app all night and not get tired. The cards are easily visible and the options buttons are colored nicely with blue green and orange for Fold, Call and Raise respectively. It’s nice that they have also incorporated a chat bar with dealer commands and a bet slider. Another feature I really liked was the blind timer when playing sit and go tournaments directly above the table, a feature that more poker rooms should implement.
