World Series of Poker Hold’em Legend (iPhone)

Well, here’s an interesting little feature.
If you lose all your chips and are forced out of a game, you can see the screen below.
A second chance.
As you can see, it lets you carry on playing at the current table. A nice little feature, I suppose, for when you’re kicking yourself for going all in with a pair of Jacks, or something.
Except, if you choose to buy another chance, you don’t pay with your in-game dollars, but with real money – the second chance costs 59p.
You can also buy extra in-game money with real money, though I really can’t fathom why you’d want to.
Helps explain why they can give the game itself away free, though.

It’s a Texas Hold’em poker game. It’s nice presented, has decent controls and, after one game, doesn’t seem to have anything much wrong with it. But what do I know? I’m rubbish at poker. I can’t even remember whether a straight beats a flush.
Red cards are better than black ones, right?
So, despite having had my eye on this game for a while – it’s generally regarded as the best Hold’em game on the iPhone, I think – I’ve never got round to buying it. It was free at the weekend, though, and still is at the time of writing. Which, I think, makes it worth keeping on my phone, despite it using about a hundred megabytes of precious space.
