From my viewpoint, the most convenient interface is in mobile casinos using “Microgaming” software – easy handling action buttons (which is particularly helpful playing video poker), there’s no need to make extra touches to make a bet and start a brand 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 most cases with famous software, my results were good. Within the majority of casinos I managed to win, that’s the results were even better that they should are already in theory. On the whole, I would quite recommend playing in mobile casinos.
Concerning mobile poker rooms it’s a little more problematic. Firstly, there can be issues with players themselves – connection problems. In several situations, especially if a phone is on the move or even in some “dead spots” with no network coverage, there may be connection drops. Secondly, there appears a problem with the screen size. In fact, a small screen of a smart phone can not fit ten those that have cards, as a result, 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 very small, but in principle, everything is readable, it is possible to play.
Currently you can find not many mobile rooms. One of them was “Ultimate Bet” a mobile poker room within “Ongame” network. Although, in the event that of “Ultimate Bet” players of a mobile version can play only cash games and they said will be just low limit. You will discover three kinds of games offered: real money games, ultimate points and free games. The “mobile” tables are separate from the normal tables so you can’t play the same tables you may from a PC. Ongame soft networks tend to be better – you get the chance to play at the same tables that online poker players do. At present only Hold’Em, cash games limited and unlimited are offered. There are actually long, short and face to face tables (in this particular case everything is on the screen without scrolling) options.
To select a table you’ve got the opportunity to apply filters as regards each of the parameters, next you receive the list of available tables. Having chosen the name of the table, below you shall find standard information on the table: flop view, medium bank, the range of players etc. Unfortunately, in comparison with the on-line version it is impossible to go into the waiting list – a poker player can just join the table with a vacancy (however, may can watch anyone). Finally sitting down at the poker table, you will discover that it really is a reduced copy of the Ongame tables with the same avatars of players. You will find 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 it’s possible to go into the quantity of your bet.
On the whole, it’s rather convenient to play, especially limited poker, although, you won’t seem to play at several tables, therefore, I assume 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 at rather popular EuroPoker room. By the way, the traffic while playing is fairly low – not higher than in a mobile casino. Should 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 just isn’t a bad choice.
