Mobile Poker: Where to Play Poker on
Cell Phones
With both the explosion of popularity in
both poker and cell phones, it was inevitable: you can now play
mobile poker for free or real money directly from your cell
phone. The most popular variant of poker, Texas Hold'em, is
available as standalone software for a variety of popular phones and
PDAs with internet access. Mobile poker works just like online poker
from your home computer: you view a miniature table graphic on your
cell phone display and use your keypad to input your actions.
While mobile poker won't replace the
full experience of online poker from home, it can be an enjoyable
pastime while waiting for doctor's appointments, traveling, or have
a bit of extra time when you're away from home. Many sites will
provide free mobile poker software that allows you to play against
real opponents both on computers and other cell phones. We recommend
that you confirm with your mobile provider that the small amount of
data sent for poker games is included with your data access plan.
As poker for cell phones has become
increasingly popular, at least one online poker site (Ultimate Bet)
is offering mobile poker software that links to your real-money
account. New players can actually take real-money poker out and
about with them without lugging around a laptop. As the mobile poker
client uses the account login, you can then sign in from your home
computer to view your winnings or update your account. It is truly
amazing that online poker has evolved to the point where even a
computer has become optional equipment. Below are our
recommendations for mobile poker sites:
