(UK).- PartyPoker, the internet poker brand of Bwin.party, launched a new fast-fold mobile application for FastForward tables players. The new app, which is built on HTML5, is currently available to download to iPad and iPhone devices in the UK, Ireland, Austria and Sweden via Apple’s iTunes store.

According to the Pokerfuse.com, the app allows players to swipe and tap gestures to indicate their action, rather than using the normal bet, raise and fold buttons. A swipe of the cards indicates a fold, a double-tap on the screen is a check, while swiping to the right will raise a bet.

Players can also pre-set bet amounts by clicking on the pot and selecting bet types or use a slider on the bottom of the screen to opt for more precise bets.

A browser-based version is also due to be released in all markets that access the dot-com network.

In a statement, PartyPoker said: “We’re redefining what it means to play one-handed. Our new fastforward: special edition poker app features a patent pending swipe-based interface that adds another gear to playing fast-forward poker.

“We engineered it specifically for mobile handset users, after thinking about how we use these devices – or should use these devices – to play card games. The game is the same, but how you play is nothing at all like on other mobile poker games.”
