Poker Face

New players start with 3,000,000 free chips, so you can sit at a table right after installing. The game is built around playing with friends, and a private table seats you with up to five of them at once.

You also get a notification when a friend is online and looking for a table. That makes it easy to set up a game without messaging anyone first.

Group video chat is the headline feature, and the developer says it is free and runs all day. Daily missions give new challenges with rewards, and a Lucky Bonus wheel pays out chips.

There are also mini games between hands. Slotopoker gives 2 free spins a day, Bet the Flop asks you to guess the 3 flop cards for up to 23X the chips, and Chip Flip rewards a correct guess of the Golden Chip. A VIP program adds benefits as your level rises.

The developer says cards are shuffled randomly. That is a developer claim, and no independent security review is available.

Poker Face leans on social play and casino-style extras, so a player who wants a plain poker table may find it busy. Poker Offline and Governor of Poker Card Games are listed as alternatives for that kind of play.

If tournament-style play matters more, WSOP Poker, Zynga Poker and Mega Hit Poker are also listed. Texas Hold'em Poker is another option in the same category.

The game has in-app purchases, so anyone avoiding spending prompts should check that before installing.

Poker Face is published by Comunix Ltd and rated Teen, which fits a game built around betting chips, bluffing and table chat with other players. It shows no ads, but it does sell in-app purchases, so chips and rewards can be bought with real money. Check the permissions listed on the store page before you sit down at a table.
