Turns iPhones Into Playing Cards

Turns iPhones Into Playing Cards with Bold Poker

Ever want to play cards and don't have a deck nearby? A new app called Bold Poker turns your mobile devices into playing cards.
Bold Poker ($1.99) is designed to play with others in person, serving as companion technology to the popular game Texas Hold'em and ridding the need for tangible cards. (Texas Hold'em is the only game it supports right now).

Here's how it works: One mobile device serves as the card dealer and displays the five communal cards. It syncs with each player's iOS device, which displays two cards of their own. Players can move the on-screen chip around and tap to deal.
And for those worried about revealing their hand, you can opt for a "peek" mode which works when you tilt your device slightly and it reflects a mirroring image onto the table. Easy peasy.
What do you think of the concept? Let us know in the comments below.
