Mobile Poker!
Your Mobile begins to deliver as the graphics continue to improve and in the very near future PokerRoom.com is bringing its online poker games to cell phones starting April 11.
Using a Web-enabled phone, users will be able to log on to their PokerRoom.com account and play cards as if they were actually sitting at a table in Vegas -- or at least in front of the home computer.
``With availability on cell phones, the game is available anywhere, anytime,'' said PokerRoom.com CEO Patrik Selin. ``The advance of cell phone graphics makes the experience almost identical to that of playing online and I think people will enjoy taking the game on the road.''
Users create an account at www.pokerroom.com from a computer and pick one of many options to deposit real money. From a link on the Web site, users then send a mobile version of the service to their phone and then activate it from the phone.
While the game may have made a leap into the mobile world, players should keep in mind that Internet gambling remains in a legal gray area in the United States.
PokerRoom.com's cell phone game works the same way as the online game: Play against real people for real money or play money. The cell phone game also works offline so users can practice their skills even when the cell phone's Internet connection is not available.
The cell phone version even offers three different views. The ``normal view'' includes graphics similar to the computer version and the ``symbol view'' offers the game with simplified graphics. There is also a ``text view,'' which includes a history of how the hand was played.
The game also has a chat function -- allowing users to trash-talk each other about their playing skills.
