Independent poker video community, PokerTube, has announced today that Speed Poker is now available on smartphones and tablets. Don’t have a clue what speed poker is? Well, it’s a variation of poker where you enter a player pool and join a new table as soon as you fold. You play 4-5 times more hands than in a normal game, hence the “speed”.
If you already love playing your hand at speedy poker, then the knowledge that you can now do so on any iPhone, iPad, Android or Windows device can only be a good thing.
In a press release, Speed Poker said: “This is the first multi-mobile platform for real money and something no other operator offers.”
PokerTube Speed Poker Manager, Stefan Wittmoss, said: “We see a great future in Speed Poker and especially the mobile platform. It’s very exciting to be the first room to offer real money poker on a multi-mobile platform.”
