Sparcade attempts to bring a clever twist to standard mobile gaming. Its included versions of Pac-Man, Tetris, Wheel of Fortune, Scrabble, and Solitaire are hardly original, but what separates their Sparcade versions from a million other mobile games is that Sparcade is built as an Xbox Live Arcade-like platform from which you can bet real-world money against other players.
You create a profile in Sparcade and, when you play, you have the option to wager in-app tokens (earned for simply playing the games) or actual money. The amounts range from $1 on up. Players – matched anonymously by a behind-the-scenes algorithm that attempts to pair up equally skilled users – then play the same exact round of each game asynchronously. For instance, the same puzzles in Wheel of Fortune, the same blocks in the same order in Tetris, etc. On a $1 bet, the winner takes the $2, minus a small cut for Sparcade.
