Tablet for SBR Poker

**bettingstation** · 08-16-14, 08:16 PM

i believe they are not ready for table or phone...

If it is running Windows, there should be no problem running the SBR poker client. I am using an ASUS T100 tablet running Windows8

how about android? I got a google tablet, downloaded program, buts says I can't open it.

got a windows phone, haven't tried it on it. I think it would be to little to read.

I should have made this clearer in my original answer. Currently sbr poker only works on a standard windows platform. It will not work on a phone/tablet version.

For all other platforms (e.g. IOS and Android) you need a windows emulator or a remote access app that connects to a windows box where the sbr poker application is run from.

Are these readily available?

Yes. I used splashtop on my Blackberry Playbook and it looks like it and a lot of other tools are available for Android:

Not sure about IOS but I am sure if you look in their app store, there will be many options.

OK for the most part they are remote desktops then, emulating a windows machine's desktop?

Well I am not a Mac expert, but people have been saying that you can use Wine, which I believe is an emulator (or maybe it is a virtual machine) but I am not sure.

You can also use VMware on Mac where you run a Windows VM but that is more expensive.

Ok thanks, I did have a remote desktop set up, where I opened the SBR poker client on my desktop, had it synced to my tablet, and then could use my tablet to control SBR poker. It did work, but it was very cumbersome, kept timing out cause it was hard to play that way.

Yep, actually using the RDP client on a touch device is kinda clunky.

Cool, never used that one yet. I am going to try it on my Nexus 5.

It's not too bad, bigger screen the better of course. Does a decent job with my two monitor setup....plus if i fire it up while I'm in front of my computer, i can use it as a wireless touchpad!

**BeerDog99** · 08-25-14, 09:36 PM

Nice, I just installed and tested it a bit. Looks pretty good. When/if I get the new Nexu 8/9, I think I will use that.

Cheers!
