Bowling Poker is the ideal aid for a team of bowlers wanting to run a perfectly fair poker side pot!
Bowling Poker is extremely easy to use.
The only inputs are the bowlers name, their average, and the game they just bowled. Thats it!
Using over 1 million real league bowled games, a unique, detailed statistical model was developed for every average between 95 and 235.
Using this model, bowlers earn between 2 and 10 cards for individual game score based on standard deviation away from the mean.
Regardless if you are a 125 average bowler or 225 average, the game is fair for everyone! No more earning cards by strikes or spares which isnt the same for everyone.
Once all the cards are earned, the app deals the cards, picks the best 5 card hand, and declares the winner!
You can see the extra cards not chosen for your hand.
The process is extremely quick and efficient and doesnt distrupt in-game bowling as everything is done at the end of each game.
Its up to the individual team as to what the stakes are!
All the graphics are optimized for the high resolution Retina display but also look great on an original iPhone or iPod touch.
