From my point of view, the most convenient interface is in mobile casinos using “Microgaming” software – easy handling action buttons (which is particularly helpful playing video poker), there is absolutely no need to make extra touches to make a bet and start a new game, pleasant graphics. Speaking about honesty of the mobile casinos games, then the casinos I played in, and these were casinos of repute, in the majority of cases with famous software, my results were good. In the majority of casinos I managed to win, that’s the results were even better that they should happen to be in theory. On the whole, I would quite recommend playing in mobile casinos.
Concerning mobile poker rooms it really is a little more problematic. Firstly, there can be issues with players themselves – connection problems. In lots of situations, especially if a telephone is on the move or in some “dead spots” with no network coverage, there may be connection drops. Secondly, there appears an issue with the screen size. In fact, a small screen of a phone cannot fit ten those that have cards, therefore, as a rule, only half of the table is displayed, there is both manual and automatic scrolling. Even with this, card sizes and cards face appear to be really small, but in principle, everything is readable, it is possible to play.
Presently you can find not many mobile rooms. One of them was “Ultimate Bet” a mobile poker room within “Ongame” network. Though, in the event of “Ultimate Bet” players of a mobile version can play only cash games and they will be just low limit. You can find three kinds of games offered: real money games, ultimate points and free games. The “mobile” tables are separate from the typical tables so you cannot play the exact same tables you can from a PC. Ongame soft networks are a lot easier better – you get a chance to play at the same tables that best online gambling site poker players do. At this time only Hold’Em, cash games limited and unlimited are offered. You can find long, short and in person tables (in this case everything is on the screen without scrolling) options.
To select a table you’ve got the chance to apply filters as regards each of the parameters, after that you will get the number of available tables. Having chosen the name of the table, below you shall find standard information on the table: flop view, medium bank, the number of players etc. Unfortunately, in comparison with the on-line version it is impossible to enter the waiting list – a poker player may only join the table with a vacancy (however, may can watch anyone). Finally sitting down at the poker table, you will find that it’s a reduced copy of the Ongame tables with the same avatars of players. There are no flags of prior action option, the decision is taken by pressing buttons 1-3, with the unlimited Hold’Em after a bet/raise there appears a window, where one can enter the quantity of your bet.
On the entire, it’s rather convenient to play, especially limited poker, although, you won’t seem to play at several tables, therefore, I think that it is better to play face to face: a dynamic game and the image is big, no need to scroll. Also I would recommend to test your poker skills at Bwin mobile poker room, and also at rather popular EuroPoker room. Through the way, the traffic while playing is very low – not higher than in a mobile casino. If you have any doubts about your competence in poker techniques try and play off-line for the practicing purposes.
If you often find yourself a passenger, have to wait in a queue or simply wish to entertain yourself while on Holidays, then mobile casino games is just not a bad choice.
