Whether it’s an evening spent at home or a weekend with friends, finding some games to download on your phone can be a fun way to pass the time. Not only do you avoid the need to organise bulky board games but you also have access to enhanced graphics and gaming mechanics that ensure the experience is top-notch.
We take a look at some of our favourite games that you can get set up on your mobile device now.
Poker
Poker has long been a popular game played in homes and venues in the UK. While there are various forms, generally, players have a hand comprising five cards and must bet that they have the best. The others must either match the bet, raise it, or concede. However, you can bluff and say you have different cards to what you’re given, which is where the term ‘poker face’ stems from.
The objective is to win the pot, which is a collection of all the bets made by each player in one deal. All you need is to have the highest-ranking hand or make a bet that no one else calls. You’ll find hundreds of apps dedicated to poker on your phone as well as online casinos, meaning you can find one that suits your liking.
Slots
One of the main reasons why slots have become a popular option for mobile gamers is thanks to their simple rules and short length. Players can log into their app and start straight away without the need to wait for other players or read through a long list of instructions.
Compared to traditional slot machines, online slots now come in many different forms. For example, there are plenty of exclusive original games available on online arcades, such as Aztec, Gaelic, and Egyptian themes as well as those that involve popping bubbles.
Bingo
No longer do you need to visit a hall to play bingo in the UK, thanks to the likes of online bingo sites and apps specially designed to work on your mobile. You still get the traditional experience of numbers appearing at random, which you need to mark down; however, there are now countless themes to choose from, including the likes of Deal or No Deal. You don’t even need to keep note of your numbers either, as they can be sorted automatically for you.
Fancy a shorter alternative to the usual 90-ball ball? Consider playing a 75-ball or 30-ball version instead.
