Those who want to play online poker for money using their iPhone can keep looking. The Zynga Texas Hold’em application allows for an online poker experience under “play free poker” rules. Even though this application only allows poker players to play free poker, it is still a very good one and nicely mimics the look and feel of internet poker.
Other such products for the iPhone and other competing phone/entertainment devices may be able to provide the Texas Hold’em aspect but often miss by either having the player test their wits against the apps artificial intelligence or a very shallow pool of poker players. This is not the case with Zynga. The makers or this poker video game have managed to provide Facebook integration. This means that sheer number of people that somebody using this app has access too is staggering. In short, there is no shortage of competition when using this particular application.
Anybody looking for innovative game play options, or new bells and whistles with this poker video game can probably look elsewhere. The value in this product isn’t in what they do that’s new, its in what they do that is correct. This is perhaps the best adaptation of the online poker experience to the small screen of a phone that is on the market today. If you can get past the fact that you can only play free poker on Zynga, and enjoy the game for the games sake, this is the app for you.
