Accessible Online Poker Games

Can you believe that with 177 million blind people in the world there is only one location where you can play online poker when you are blind or visually impaired?

All inPlay offers three games (see below) of poker that are accessible and although you can only play for fun and small prices like DVD players, gift certificates, free memberships and trophies it could be interesting to see if accessible slots are the next big thing in accessible gaming.

Texas Hold’em

Take part in the worldwide phenomenon that is Texas Hold’em. Real opponents, virtual tables, fake chips, full of excitement, thrills and fun. All inPlay is proud to bring you the world’s first ever fully accessible online Texas Hold’em game, for you and your friends to play together as equals.

Crazy Eights

At last, a fully accessible game for the whole family — All inPlay Crazy Eights, a faithful translation of the world’s most popular card game (also known as Uno).

Draw Poker

5 Card Draw: Nothing wild. The classic game of poker. Real, live, human opponents. Win bragging rights with your friends. And if you lose, its only play-money, so you can keep your house.

“We have an extremely gracious and kind group of volunteers that donate their time to helping new members with anything they might need. These volunteers are often blind or low vision, so they know the challenges that come with using screen readers and screen magnifiers. They are happy to show you how to play the games and have a great time. They will introduce you to our friendly online community,” says Jérémie Spitzer, cofounder of All inPlay LLC on the website.

Will we see web standards and accessibility in the world of online casino’s soon?
