Even though PartyPoker are one of the biggest names in online poker, they have lagged behind the competition when it comes to mobile poker. Thankfully that looks set to change thanks to the recent addition of Sit & Go tournaments to their iOS and Android poker clients and the arrival of their new "Special Edition" FastForward fast fold poker app. The PartyPoker FastForward Special Edition app take high-speed poker to a new level by allowing players to swipe their cards to fold and swipe their chips to call or bet. To check you just need to tap the table twice or tap the bet bar to change the value of the bet. These new interactive and intuitive controls significantly increase the speed of the game. The app is currently on available for iPhone and iPad, although PartyPoker promise that an Android and Windows Phone version will be ready shortly. There are currently 2 versions available, a native app that is available to download from the iTunes App Store in the United Kingdom, Austria, Ireland and Sweden. A browser based HTML5 version can be played on any iPhone in the rest of the world (apart from the United States) DOWNLOAD PARTY POKER - WWW.PARTYPOKER.COM
will they be integrating these new tap and swipe features into the fastforward games in their regular poker app?
Yes, I'd imagine they will be. The current "Special Edition" app is a Beta version. Once they've ironed out all the bugs they'll probably add it to the regular app along with the current Sit & Go and Ring Game options.
has their been any announcement regarding a tap and swipe version for android devices? i enjoy playing it on my iphone 6 but i'd love to see how it plays on my husbands google nexus 7 tablet.
I think these tap and swipe features have been integrated now into the main PartyPoker mobile client.
You can still play on the FastForward Special Edition app on any iOS or Android device. To play simply visit partypoker.com/ff from your phones browser. If you live in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Sweden and Austria you will be able to install the iPhone app from the App Store. Otherwise you can still play using the HTML5 version (providing you don't live in the US).
Party Poker have finally added multi-tabling to their iPhone and Android app. Here is a video tutorial of the new feature...
