six plus holdemSix Plus Holdem, a poker game originating from Macau is launching as a new game on the iPoker Network sites on 22nd February, 2016.

The game is similar to regular poker but with different odds as all cards from deuces through to fives have been removed from the deck. There are also changes to some of the standard poker hand rankings which makes the game more interesting.

The format of Six Plus Hold’em creates more action than your standard Texas Holdem poker game and is a favourite with poker pros Phil Ivey and Tom Dwan.

888 Poker App ImprovementsAfter thoroughly testing out the 888 Poker App over a period of two weeks, I can say that overall I am highly impressed by the features the app offers which include the ability to play cash games and tournaments right from your mobile phone or tablet.

I highly recommend the 888 Poker App as it is among the top options for playing poker from your phone or mobile device, both real money and play money games can be used once you have created an account.

The 888 Poker App supports Android and iOS meaning that most new Samsung phones as well as iPhones and iPads are supported the only downside is that there is no 888 Poker Windows App so many Nokia and Microsoft phones are left in the dark for the time being.

The menu is simplistic and you can toggle between Standard Tournaments and Snap Poker via a tiny tab on the side of the screen.

The 888 Casino and Bet on Sports features can be accessed at the bottom of the page.

The Cashier, account details and App settings can be changed from the menus at the top of the page.

We have previously reviewed the 888 Poker App, so if you would like to know more about the app’s features please read that post.

I would like to move onto what can be improved in the 888 App.
