New 888poker Mobile App and Desktop Software
When it comes to the new mobile app, one of the most notable changes is that it is now available in portrait mode. This means players can play one-handed.
Finding your favorite games is easier too as players are now presented with an improved 888poker lobby, which can easily be scrolled through to show all the games available.
Views of upcoming tournaments can be streamlined with filters so that players can easily scroll through the games they want to play.
Players can also jump straight into games by setting a pre-defined stake range.
But 888poker is not content with just rolling out the update on the mobile app, as the new Poker 8 software is now available via desktop too.
Check out the sliders below. Whereas the previous layout felt dated, the new design is cleaner and feels much more modern.
Tournament lobbies have also been overhauled as you can see below with a color-coded dial displaying registration progress:
- Green for registering
- Red when registration is closed
- Grey for when a tournament is complete
Key information such as the buy-in, the prize pool, the number of players registered and remaining are all displayed so players can quickly reference the information.
Players can also switch between a tournament summary, payouts, structure, current player ranking, and a list of the tournament tables.
