Texas Holdem Offline Poker is an iOS game that also does a great job of simulating a real game of poker. Unlike our other suggestions on this list, Texas Holdem does away with the cartoony approach and introduces a more serious interface. This doesn’t detract from the gameplay itself, but it does remove a layer of fun the other three games featured that made them such a blast to play. Also, the game does seem to cheat at times with some very surprising hands. Aside from that, Texas Holdem Offline Poker is a great way to practice your game or help a commute pass you by. The game is offline but contains in-app purchases.

Video Poker looks incredibly basic but gameplay is very good. I spent a while playing it and enjoyed it. This was a suggestion from canvassing the office for poker games and was surprisingly popular. The UI is very basic with no frills or fancy effects but it does the job well enough. The game is free and can be played offline and best of all, contains no in-app purchases. Gameplay is challenging and more than Texas Holdem is included within the app.

So those are the five of the best offline Texas Holdem poker apps you can play on your mobile device. Each offers both a tutorial and a challenge and is a good way to practice your skills, develop strategies or just while away and hour or three while traveling or whatever.
