A while back Carbon Poker released a free play mobile poker application. The app is available to US online poker players and works perfectly on all iOS devices such as iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Mini iPad. Carbon Poker on the Merge Gaming Network are well known as an innovative operation and with this app they intend on taking that even further, by offering the very first mobile solution for the US market. The app went through in house testing successfully and was released to a limited amount of players who expressed interest in the product for further testing. It appears that the extended testing also went well and now it's open to everyone who wishes to give it a go.
Game Offering and Features
The app at present only allows for play money, however Carbon have stated that real money mobile poker will be on its way soon should all continue to go well. They will also be releasing an Android version, meaning all bases are due to be covered. The app is not a native app which means that it will not be available in the iStore and will be available from the Carbon site which will allow for real money play when the time comes. Mobile poker in general offers limited features and games simply because poker is not as well suited to mobile like other casino games such as slots and blackjack, however development teams have been working on viable solutions and we've seen most larger online poker companies make some headway. The Carbon app at present offers no tournaments however, again, this may change and they are taking on board player feedback whilst developing the real money version. To take a look at the app and hit the mobile felt yourself, you'll need to go to Carbon Poker on your mobile device and you'll be instructed to create a short cut making the app easier to access next time around.
