New mobile version of Zynga Poker finally debuts to a global audience

Zynga has launched the new version of its hit game Zynga Poker on mobile devices. The game is critical to the social gaming giant’s shift to mobile gaming, and it is now widely available around the world on the Apple App Store and the Google Play market on Android devices.

The new, free-to-play Zynga Poker app was developed for mobile from the ground up. It focuses on personalized gameplay, fast performance, and a more sophisticated design that emphasizes authentic casino graphics rather than a cartoon style experience. That’s an important change for the world’s largest online poker game, which has had more than 350 million players since its launch in 2007.
