Most online poker rooms release their mobile poker games as soon as they half work and then just fix any problems as they go along. This is not the case with online poker giant 888 Poker, who took the unusual step of releasing a beta version of their Texas Hold’em app to a select number of their existing customers in order work through any kinks in the software.
After 6 months of testing, the poker software morphed from a very buggy poker app with limited functionality, to one of the very best real money poker apps available today for Android tablets and smartphones. Once of the most welcomed additions to the latest version is Sit and Go tournaments. 888 are also currently developing Multi-Table Tournament functionality, which will be added in the second half of 2012.

Players can choose from either 6 or 9 seater tables via the quick seat lobby that makes it easy to get in on the action with the minimum of fuss. Stakes range from 3¢/6¢ to $3/$6 at the real-money tables or mobile players can play for free at the “Play for Fun” tables.
888 is currently the third busiest poker room in the world with almost 6 millions players.

With hundreds of thousands of players playing both day and night, you will always find plenty of action when you want it.
