6Waves Poker

6Waves Poker is so called because it was developed by 6Waves, a company which offers a range of games for the Facebook social networking platform. That range currently includes Gangster Wars, Mall World and Kingdoms of Camelot, to name just three. 6Waves Poker has over 215,000 active monthly users and has earned a rating of 4 stars out of 5 from a total of more than 6,100 reviews.

Playing 6Waves Poker

Visit the 6Waves Poker app Facebook page and click the blue ‘Go to App’ button at the top of the screen. The usual permission screen will then be shown so that you can permit the app to access your Facebook information. This permission must be granted otherwise you won’t be able to continue any further, but as with any other Facebook app you can always revoke such rights at a later time should you want to do so.

When you arrive in the 6Waves Poker lobby you will have a starting bankroll of $1,000. This might sound rather modest when compared with some of the other Facebook poker apps that we have reviewed, but the blinds used at the tables here start at $1/$2, so the starting bankroll is perfectly well proportioned when assessed in those terms.

As well as regular No Limit Hold’em ring games you can participate in a wide range of tournaments, including a free weekly tournament. You can also play quite a few Omaha games, so if you have never tried that particular poker variation you can do so at 6Waves Poker without risking a penny of real cash.

No matter what kind of game you choose, you won’t be let down by the presentation. Graphics are colourful and the layout has been well designed. Our only criticism is that the words on the action buttons could be a tad clearer (white text on a silver background can be tricky on the eyes sometimes), but once you know where they are you won’t worry too much about that.

Those of you who have used other Facebook poker apps will be pleased to hear that 6Waves Poker offers the usual set of achievements to unlock and levels of experience to climb as you play. This makes 6Waves Poker a great game for the long term as well as being simple enough to launch and play whenever you have a few minutes to spare.

The Social Aspect

Getting your Facebook friends involved in the 6Waves Poker game is not only enjoyable, it can also improve your bankroll. 6Waves Poker allows you to exchange poker chip gifts, invite each other to tournaments and compete against each other to see who can put in the best performance.

Conclusion

6Waves Poker is a lot of fun and definitely worth looking at if you are a keen Facebook poker player. If you like the experience then you should note that you can also play the game whilst you are away from your PC via an iPhone app which also works on the iPod Touch. Enjoy the games and good luck!
