WPT Enterprises
and MFORMA Group have unveiled an innovative poker project that will
enable mobile users to install Texas Hold Em to their phones.
MFORMA a company specializing in mobile entertainment, has teamed
up with the most recognizable poker brand World Poker Tour in order
to cash in on the continuing poker boom, satisfying a demand for casino-style
mobile games.
The new game features real-time, six-player capability.
"We set out to make the best mobile poker game and we are
very pleased to be working with World Poker Tour to bring World Poker
Tour Texas Hold 'Em to market," said Scott Jensen, for
MFORMA.
"The World Poker Tour has vastly increased the audience
for poker and this game, associated with the leading poker brand,
delivers the most realistic poker environment in mobile, incorporating
the style of the top-rated TV show. Each of our WPT-branded applications
will allow interaction with the show or WPT events through promotions,
on-air commentary, tournaments, and prizes."
World Poker Tour Texas Hold 'Em has developed a unique way of displaying
the environment as the camera pans smoothly from side-to-side to follow
the action.
Gamblers can play against five others at one time, simulating a real
six-player-to-a-table game.
Users will have an opportunity to try the World Poker Tour Texas Hold
'Em game beginning early March from leading wireless operators in
North America, followed by Europe and Asia.
