Full 888 Poker Mobile Review

 
  • 888 Poker has proven over the years to be a reliable and innovative online poker site. It offers webcam tables that are not available on most of the major online poker rooms. If you currently play on 888 Poker and have a mobile device, then you may want to try out the 888 Poker Mobile app, which was rolled out in 2012.

    888 Poker's mobile application is easy to download. However, it is not available in all countries that 888 Poker exists for real money. The lobby is easy to navigate and it is simple to find a game against opponents who are playing on their mobile devices and computers.

    888 Poker Mobile features include:


    -Easy navigation through the main lobby
    -Play sit and gos and cash games
    -Smooth game play depending on your mobile internet connection
    -Large buttons to limit mistakes
    -Easy-to-use bet slider to allow quicker game play
    -Compete against opponents playing on PCs and mobile devices from around the world
    -Chat with opponents while playing
    -Functional web cashier. While not crucial to your playing experience, this is a great feature if you want to reload funds quickly.


    There are many limitations playing mobile poker on 888 versus playing 888 on your computer. As it stands now, 888 Poker's mobile application seems designed more for the casual player who wants to get a game in on the go for entertainment purposes. The limitations include:


    -No tournament play. This is disappointing to those grinding long sessions who may have to go on the road or take a break from their computer.
    -Only a limited selection of cash games and sit and gos. The selection of games does not include webcam tables, which would seem like a natural fit since most mobile devices have a front-facing camera.
    -No multi-tabling capabilities
    -No player search feature
    -No third-party software. Since most players use third-party software as an aid while multi-tabling, this isn't a huge downside since you are able to focus on your competition while playing only one table at a time.


    Fixing some of these limitations is very important for 888 Poker Mobile's application to be on par with its main competitor, PokerStars. Knowing 888 Poker's dedication to having a cutting-edge product, I would imagine that future releases of the 888 Poker Mobile app will address some of these major holes.

    That being said, if you are a casual player, 888 Poker's Mobile application is right up your alley since it's easy to use and more fun to play than a typical mobile app.
