IGNITION POKER - USA ONLY POKER APP
|
|
BACKGROUND
Due to legal difficulties, Bovada decided to cease offering poker on their website. Instead they decided to move their large player pool and top quality poker software over to Ignition Casino. If you were a fan of Bovada Poker then you'll also love Ignition Poker because it's basically a replica.
FEATURES
Ignition iOS poker currently only offers Zone fast-fold poker games. Zone poker is the Ignition system that lets you play more hands per hour. When you join a zone poker table you are actually joining a pool of all the players who are playing the same stakes level. All of the players in the pool have the option to fold their hand and instantly be moved to another table. As soon as the table fills the next hand is dealt. In other words you don’t have to wait until a hand plays out to start the next hand. Everything else works just like you are playing at a regular Ignition poker table.
You can access all of your account information, make a deposit or withdraw funds all from the mobile app. When you sign up for your account you will automatically be taken to the deposit page. Otherwise, just access the cashier icon on the main app screen. If you need help while using the app you can find it using the “more” icon on the main screen.
In addition to playing poker from Ignition on your favorite mobile device, you can also enjoy casino games. Their mobile casino currently offers 20 games including blackjack, roulette, 4 video poker variations and 13 slot machines.

TABLES
The layout is very similar to most mobile and online poker apps. Your action buttons are large and located along the bottom of the screen toward the right. For example, the fold button is located around the bottom center of the screen with the call button to the right followed by the raise button. Screen options available include the ability to auto muck hands, enable fold and show, use four colored deck, show bet value and folded hand display.
Though this doesn’t have a great deal to do with gameplay, the graphics are really impressive, which makes it easier to see everything you need while playing on a small screen. However, there are the same challenges present that you find on all poker games that can be played on a phone. The ability to see everything you need and use all of the icons can be a problem, depending on the size of your screen and your eyesight. If you are playing on an iPad or iPad touch you will find it is much easier to play. Once again, this is in no way unique to the Bovada app.
The availability of games varies greatly by time of day, but there appears to be plenty of Texas holdem game options about any time of day. The Omaha games may only be available during peak times.

OUR VERDICT
The Ignition iPhone mobile poker app is definitely worth trying. The combination of an established gaming company, fast gameplay, great deposit bonus and ease of use makes this offering one of the best available. By waiting to release their mobile poker app until after working out any bugs in their casino app, Ignition Casino appears to have made a strong strategic decision that has paid off.
