There is no WinPoker for the Android system.
So, does anyone have a recommendation for it? If WinPoker was available, I would buy it in a heart beat.
Video Poker for Android devices
Honestly, I've thought a lot about your point - and your point is a good one
- however, I would hardly think twice about using this in a casino.
First of all, yes it's absolutely illegal. However, there's a world's of
difference in my mind between using an app to, say, count cards in blackjack
vs. finding the optimal hold for a particular hand.
Using an app to count cards and get optimal hit/stand and bet strategy
requires consistent use of the app throughout the entire session. That's not
true for finding the most EV play on a particular hand. Second, socially,
card counting is "cheating" or at least a "gray area" for most people, while
I don't think most people would necessarily see anything "wrong" about this.
And the last thing the casino wants is a headline that says, "Casino has
winning player arrested for a felony." The bad press surrounding such an
arrest is the largest deterrent in my opinion.
Also, there are a lot of bars and pubs in Nevada with gaming, where the
machines are owned by the route. The bartenders don't give a shit what you
are doing in my experience.
Just my $0.02.

Unless you purposely desire the chance that your heart could experience a
really fast beat., be advised that the use of a phone equipped with this
type of program or app. on it is not legal in the state of Nevada. Just
this week, I have witnessed three incidents at three different casinos of
folks whipping these out while playing video poker. Here is what the
pertinent regulation states:
NRS 465.075 Use of device for calculating probabilities. It is unlawful
for any person at a licensed gaming establishment to use, or possess with
the intent to use, any device to assist:1. In projecting the outcome of the game;
2. In keeping track of the cards played;
3. In analyzing the probability of the occurrence of an event relating
to the game; or
4. In analyzing the strategy for playing or betting to be used in the
game.I have not seen it happen yet, but I assume that you could possibly have
your phone confiscated and/or be trespassed from a property if you are
caught using one. With the level of paranoia at some casinos here in town,
it is probably only a question of time until this happens.

Sir,
When and where have you read that card counting was illegal? Please insert the link of the law/articles that state that, as I could easily procure evidence to the contrary.
The only people who are against card counting are casinos, as they can't stand to be beaten at their own game. As far as most people seeing card counting as a "gray area" -- they are just "parroting" what is printed in the papers - again, controlled and in favor of casinos.
And, what exactly is "social card counting"??
LOL!
