The recently released PokerStars Casino mobile app gives you a complete casino experience by offering multiple games in one app. You get instant access to different casino favorites like Roulette, Blackjack, and slots without having to close out of the app. Having a single app is optimal because you don’t have to waste valuable hard drive space on your tablet or device with multiple gaming apps.
Slots
The Slots section on the mobile app includes ten of the most popular slots at the PokerStars Casino including the highly-popular game Starburst. Other slots available are: Jack Hammer, Flowers, Fruit Shop, Gonzo’s Quest, Mythic Maiden, Reel Rush, South Park, and Twin Spin. If you enjoy the humor of the “South Park” TV show then you’ll have loads of fun with the slots version. The mobile app is relatively new so the options are limited, but hopefully more slots will be featured in the future. Most of the slots were intuitive and very few required any explanation on how to accumulate points.
Roulette
Roulette has been one of the most popular casino games for centuries. Roulette first gained popularity in Medieval Europe. With the simple spin of the wheel, you can get a taste of the glitz and glamour of a casino in Monte Carlo at your virtual fingertips. In addition to traditional roulette using a European wheel, they offer Double Ball Roulette with two balls. The odds are slightly different with Double Ball Roulette, but on any given spin you have two chances to win with two balls in play. In Double Ball, the action goes a bit quicker than in traditional roulette, so if you’re in the mood for a fast-paced game, this is a good option to have. Roulette is a good game for beginners, as it doesn’t require much strategy.
Blackjack
The Blackjack section of the PokerStars Casino app contains different versions of the game that use rules from casinos around the world like in Atlantic City and Europe. All versions of Blackjack pay out 3:2.
If you are a Blackjack purist, then you can play Classic Blackjack utilizing the traditional eight decks (52-cards) and the dealer must take a hit on a soft-17. Others variations included in the app: Atlantic City Blackjack, European Blackjack, Double Deck Blackjack, Double Deck Atlantic City Blackjack, Premium Blackjack, Premium Classic Blackjack, Premium Atlantic City Blackjack, and Double Deck Premium Blackjack. While some of the different names of Blackjack variants may seem confusing at first, they are well explained for first-timers.
Atlantic City Blackjack rules include the dealer receiving one hole card and must check if they have 21. European Blackjack utilizes 6 decks with no hole cards for the dealer, but the dealer must hit on a soft-17. Double Deck Blackjack uses only 2 decks, and the dealer does not get a hole card, but must hit on a soft-17. Premium Blackjack uses only 4 decks and allows you to double down on a two-card hand if you are going to stand. Also, the dealer does not get a hole card, but must hit on a soft-17. Premium Atlantic City Blackjack uses only 4 decks, lets you double down on any hand, and the dealer gets one hole card but must check if they have 21. In addition, players can also surrender.
Live Casino Games
If you like to be a bit more social while playing casino games, you’ll appreciate the Live Casino section of the app. Real, live dealers are streamed to your device as you place your bets. You can watch them spin the roulette wheel or deal the cards in real time, even chatting with them and other players during the game. Currently, you can play live Roulette and live Blackjack on your phone, while live Casino Hold’em and live Baccarat are limited to your tablet. Craps is the only major casino game that you won’t find on the app.
You can play for free with play money before you get comfortable with how the app works and move into real money play by funding your account. The deposit and withdrawal methods on the app are slightly different than on the desktop version; however, there are plenty of available options to process these transactions including: MasterCard and Visa (both debit and credit cards), Neteller, Ukash, and Skrill.
This PokerStars Casino mobile app is still a new enterprise, but there are a lot of games to choose from. The ability to play slots and other casino games on the go with a single app means there is no need to download multiple apps and crowd your device with different games.
