Now you can play the game of world domination without the hassle and math of throwing the dice! IMPORTANT: This does NOT replace the game and you must own the game for the app to be useful. It only replaces the dice-throwing component. Select My Turn when you are on offense and throw the number of dice that you wish. The defending player will then throw the appropriate number of dice, and the app will compute how many armies are lost on each side. Repeat until your turn is over. The other player should then select My Turn and proceed. Select the color of each player in the settings. Complete head-to-head by placing your iPhone on the game-playing surface accessible to both players. Still takes up less room than dice flailing everywhere and knocking over your drink! Developer Note: This app was written solely to help me learn development skills and techniques and to learn to interact with the App Store. No support is provided for this app. 99 cents means you get what you pay for!

Hold'em Dice is a multi player Texas Hold'em tournament played with dice among players on internet connected iPhones. The tournament Buy In is 20 times the small blind ante amount in Hold'em Dollars. Each player initially receives a stake of 100 Hold'em Dollars complimentary. If your current stake is not sufficient to cover the Buy In, you can purchase additional Hold'em Dollars. After the usual antes, each player rolls two Hole dice, that are not visible to other players. Betting starts. After betting the button player rolls the three Flop dice, the Turn and River dice, each visible on each player's iPhone. There is betting after each roll. The high hand, using your two Hole dice and any three of the other five public dice, wins. The tournament, a series of games, continues until one player has won the Buy In stakes of all players.
