The Bottom Line

The IWinPoker program for the IPhone is the best gambling related application that I have found to date. It will do almost everything the full computer version will do including analyzing any hand. Now you will never have to worry about making the wrong play in the casino. If you are a serious video poker player you must have this application. The IWinPoker application sells for $5.99 which a bargain is considering that the full computer version sells for $29.95.

Analyzing a Hand
By far the strongest feature of this program is its ability to analyze any video poker hand. Even though I know the strategy for my favorite video poker game by heart, there are times when I want to play a game that I do not play on a regular basis and I am unsure of how to play a hand.

The only negative with the IWinPoker application is that it is missing the ability to analyze a full pay table for a game. There are many times when I find an unfamiliar pay table on a machine in the casino. I usually write it down and then check the overall return of the game in WinPoker when I get to my computer. It would be nice to see this feature added to the IPhone version.

A Good Bargain
This application will definitely pay for its self in the money you will save by not making costly mistakes when you play video poker. It is also a fun way to practice and learn video poker. If you play video poker and own an IPhone, this application is for you. The fun factor alone is worth the price of the application.
