PokerStars Play – Texas Holdem 17+

It’s free and a great way to see flops. Lots of donkeys but still worth the free-dollars

BRING BACK “BET ON POKER” LIVE DEALERS

The only reason I don’t give it a 5 star is because there is no bet-on-poker live feed anymore. Being able to see 6 hands dealt by real cards shuffled before your own eyes! The single best way to see flops and run outs ever in real-time instead of just trying to conceptualize raw probability and translate to betting and bluffing/bluff catching like an autist. Tournament payouts aren’t the best, better to play sit-and-go. Their chips for ads schema is solid and allows you to toss some chips around for free which is fun.

But when they had the live-feed of those nice Baltic/Slavic lasses and lads dealing and shuffling, it was like having a private service to show you flops, and I actually bought an embarrassing amount of chips to try and reach 10 Billion by betting probability, and I did it. It was awesome. When I lost the 10Billion on wild betting in large games and the largest tournaments, I would have spent thousands to buy a bunch more chips if I could watch the live dealers again. This live poker dealing really upped my table play at the local Ameristar. I started playing open ended straight draws a lot more if the pot odds were there, like the southeast Asian players do, after watching them come out like crazy over thousands of live deals over the course of a few months.

Needs a fix

The game is fun and it’s easy to use. The only reason I gave this a 3 star review is the profile system. It asked for my Facebook log in info or to create a guest account. I don’t like linking everything to my Facebook so I created the guest account. Played the game for a few weeks and then they closed the account. So I went into the settings and attempted to log in with Facebook. It didn’t work. Contacted customer support and they said I have to create another account. Why allow someone to create the guest account if you can’t use it long term/log in to facebook later? Not the worst thing in the world but it is annoying when you had 2 million chips saved up. I won’t be creating another account or playing this anymore. If you want to play this game, immediately create a profile using your Facebook info.

Update: Changed to 4 stars since the developer reached out to correct the mistake. To the developer: My guest account was Goodflush570. I wasn’t able to link this to my Facebook after it got closed so I never made an actual account. Since I’ve removed the app I imagine the account is no longer active. Hopefully you’re able to see what happen. I appreciate the reimbursement but I don’t think I’ll be getting the app again.

Developer Response ,

UPD: no, you have to come back to check our Live Games - in real time you can make bets on poker, playing with LIVE dealers. This is just amazing.
I see you have 1.6M chips on your account.
Come back, let me know your new user name and I'll give you 5'000'000 chips.
P.S. - the only limitation you could face with - we're not offering our games in Washington state due to legal restrictions. It could be you got IP address belonging to Washington state, thus, you could not play.

Best potential PlayMoney game but needs some improvements

I love it. The UI is clean and not too flashy (in a good way) compared to competitors. It’s easy to accumulate chips without paying. Leaderboards are just a grind and doesn’t factor losses into your ranking, fine. You can bet by sliding your finger over chips but it scales up too quickly. It’s really unintuitive. After 1400 hands I still “misclick” and raise all-in too often or bet too little for me to justify using the slider… I stick to tapping the buttons even if it takes me longer. I also raise accidentally when trying to call sometimes. WSOP has a better betting system using buttons, presets and a visual slider but that’s about all it does better. I wish I had more control over settings. I have vibration enabled but it only notifies me after the clock has 50% time left. It should notify as soon as action is on the user. This slows down play a lot. Overall I like the app but it could use some improvements. Edit: I forgot to mention… if you sign up with an AppleID you can’t sign in anywhere else but on Apple devices. There’s no option to link your account to a PokerStars account. I’m stuck to playing mobile.
