The ever-popular Texas Hold’em, 7 Card Stud and Omaha Hi-Lo are all available and registering to play either at a table or in a tournament is particularly straightforward and involves you either selecting your desired table or tournament, pay the buy-in and then get started. Many of these games are also available to play in webcam mode. Simply choose a PokerCam table according to your favourite stakes level and double click it.

BLAST is 4-handed, Texas Hold’em Sit & Go that has been supercharged to keep game-play moving at a lighting rate. Once the game begins, the BLAST countdown starts. With the end of the countdown forcing all participants all-in until a winner emerges, with one lucky player potentially cashing out 10,000x their buy-in.
For the time-poor amongst us. There is also the exciting SNAP poker. A fast-fold poker format whereby you’re dealt new cards the instant you fold in both a cash game or tournament format.

Pros & Cons
One of the most noticeable advantages to using this app is that there is a wealth of poker games available and you are not restricted to which games you can play when you choose to play via the app. There are lots of mobile gambling games available for low to mid stakes and the interface is top notch, with high quality graphics and smooth animations. There are only a few downsides of this app and the main one is the inability to access your account details, which can make it hard to keep up with what tokens and cash you have spent. 888Poker also hasn’t made Poker Coach accessible on the mobile app, which is disappointing for beginners looking to use the app to improve their skills.
In all, the 888Poker app is one of the best out there in terms of ease of use, functionality, efficiency and entertainment and with more and more people trying their luck in the tournaments and at tables; we look forward to seeing what 2017 has in store for online poker fans.
