Installation and operation If you download and install the app, you'll be presented with a range of easy-to-select options when it comes to selecting your SnG preferences, and all in the bwin branding colours of black and gold. A list of available tables forms the bottom part of the screen, and buttons along the top allow you to select your type of game (heads-up, 3-6 players or 9-10), your level of stake and whether you want to play a standard or speed game. You're also given info about the number of players currently online, the number of tables available, and the amount of cash in your account.

Once you find a table to your liking it's quick to register, then you just need to wait until the table is full. You can de-register if you grow tired of waiting. You can view the prize pool, the blinds raise times and the other players waiting with you.
At the table The table display has been well designed, and there is a good balance between the display and controls that works well on even the smallest mobile screens.
The mobile market is an online poker channel that's seen a rapid expansion, particularly over the past year or so. Any poker room that fails to address its mobile audience is one that is hardly likely to flourish, and it's perfectly understandable why so many poker rooms are rushing out mobile clients for both iOS and Android. With the addition of SnGs to its mobile app, bwin.party continues to expand both its reach and the number of potential poker players it can boast within its ranks.
