Apple iPhone to play third-party Texas Hold ’Em game, run dating service application

Apple Store“Macworld this week reported the debut of a version of popular poker game ‘Texas Hold ’Em’ on Apple’s website. Independently-developed, the game is described as being at a suitable resolution for use on an iPhone,” Jonny Evans reports for Macworld UK.

“Apple has said it will work with some developers on some applications, and the title is already available for the iPod through the iTunes store,” Evans reports. “However, gambling game ‘Texas Hold ’Em’ doesn’t appear to be the only third-party application in development for Apple’s multimedia-capable internet appliance – it seems that dating services hope to exploit the personal communicator to boost their services, too.”

Evans reports, “Developer Miguel Sciaudone contacted Macworld UK to say: ‘This will be an application running on the iPhone in summer. It’s currently in development and will soon be in Beta testing. It will not be a Widget.'”

  1. Limit Texas Hold’em (there is a specified betting limit in each game and on each round of betting)
    Pot Limit Texas Hold’em (a player can bet what is in the pot)
    No Limit Texas Hold’em (a player can bet all of their chips at any time). I know about this game only this.
