The first-version release of a jointly developed
online mobile game offering by World Poker Tour Enterprises (WPTE) and 3G-Scene
Limited took place last week, and will be available soon on select mobile phone
carriers and UK-based subscribers. 3G-Scene Limited is a London-based
mobile technology developer, recently licensed by WPTE to jointly develop
turnkey solutions enabling online mobile gaming services. 3G-Scened was
instrumental in helping to design the product interface, as well as management
and sales solutions for when the new product goes global.
The first version of mobile software is of a Texas
Hold'em poker game that enables multi-player betting from several mobile phones
at a single time. Real money betting in a live environment will be the
name of the game on this highly advanced platform. What is likely just
going to be the tip of the iceberg in online mobile gambling offerings by WPTE,
players can expect to have access to an entire suite of multi-player poker games
and online casino games in the near future.
The online gambling site for WPTE already offers a
large suite of poker games (Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi Lo, Seven-Card Stud,
and Seven-Card Stud Hi Lo), not to mention a standard selection of classic
online casino games and slot machines, so it will be no surprise when WPTE's
mobile gambling offering will include the rest of their online casino and poker
suite. The subscription to their mobile poker games will be offered
through several worldwide mobile carriers, which players will be able to use
through a simple online download.
WPTE Founder and CEO, Steve Lipscomb, commented
that his company is confident in the product solutions being developed by
3G-Scene Limited, who was the best option for developing a mobile platform that
was par with the company's current gaming software, not to mention their
esteemed position in the global poker industry. As for WPT's online casino
and poker software, this was developed by Wager Works Inc. (founded by Silicon
Gaming in 2000), whose subsidiary, WagerWorks Alderney 3 Limited, holds an
online casino and gaming license through Alderney, and operates the site itself.
