This is a solid time-killer for my commute! Easy to pick up and play a round or two. Wish there was a bit more variety in the poker modes, tho. Still, really fun!
The leaderboard is where it's at! Been grinding to get into the top 10. The AI can be a bit predictable at times, but the thrill of going all-in is real.
