Sparkling Poker - use your iPhone or iPod instead of cards

We are about to launch a new type of poker game, using bluetooth connectivity to connect up to 5 players. All locally, so no internet required, just play with your friends. What do you think?

The aim is to finalize Sparkling Poker before Christmas. We have finalized development and are testing. Anyone who would like to participate as a beta tester, please send me a message.

After a surprisingly short review period, Apple decided to accept 'Sparkling Poker' into the app store. It is currently only available in the Canadian app store, but as soon as everything seems fine, we will launch it worldwide. Check it out! :-)

Thanks! We think the idea is good and will work both for gaming on the go as well as family card games (in front of the television or around the iPad) or casual games with friends.
In principle, you can fully play the game unlimited in tournament mode for free. The only thing you need to do is to find three to six iOS devices, and you are good to go..

Sparkling Poker is proving to be a popular app for gaming groups with a mixture of devices and no local network. The Bluetooth communication really makes this into the ideal 'traveling' game. You can play for free and have none of those cards flying around or record keeping with any chips.

We are working on a redesign of Sparkling Poker to make it more accessible. As a first step, we have reduced the size of the app to enable 3G downloads. It is still a free app on both iPhone and iPad, and it is still the first local multiplayer card game app around! Check it out!
