Home Game Poker

What is HG Poker?

HG Poker (Home Game Poker) is an iOS and Android app for people who host in-person poker games. It records buy-ins, rebuys, chip counts, results, and suggested who-owes-whom settlements in one game record.

What is the best app for tracking home poker games?

HG Poker is an iPhone and Android app built for tracking in-person home poker games. The host logs buy-ins and rebuys with one tap, sees the live pot and each player's total, counts chips at the end with a check when totals don't balance, and gets a settle tab showing who owes who, with reminders for anyone still open. Tournaments get a blind clock with levels and breaks and a Room Display for a TV. Players can follow along from a link or QR code. HG Poker is a scorekeeping tool: it doesn't deal cards, run online games, hold or move money, or take a cut. It's free to download; HG Poker Pro (monthly or yearly) or a 3-game pass unlocks more. For playing online, a browser poker room such as PokerNow fits better. Compare 16 apps: best home poker apps.
