After reintroducing its classic Texas Hold’em for iPhone back in July as part of the App Store’s tenth anniversary, the title has now expanded to the iPad devices with support for iOS’s multitasking modes like Split View and Slide Over.

“Texas Hold’em comes to iPad — enjoy it full screen or play it while you do something else using Split View or Slide Over,” reads the changelog.

Originally released for the iPod music player back in 2006, it was one of the first Apple-made games available back in the early App Store days.
