    Playing cards in connection to successfully racing a horse is a bizarre overlap I did not expect to enjoy.

    Pocket Card Jockey is absolutely worth consideration and will hook many gamers with its irreverent and addictive gameplay, but beneath its charming veneer is a cruel world of lost bets and unfair odds.
