Mobile Poker from Ongame. Part two.

Posted by Nick Niesen on October 26th, 2010

Very important feature at the mobile poker room is statistics option. You can view best hands (online or offline mode), game statistics (real money, play money, or offline tournaments) and hand history. The game statistics can be reset at any time - this will then reset all the previously saved details.

I wouldn't specially review the network as a whole or a particular mobile pokerroom, it has been already done briefly in the "Mobile poker room reviews".

Here I shall turn our attention to the problem of selection a certain mobile poker room to play. As for me, I played in mobile PokerRoom, because I have an account there, plus I wanted to have a look at their mobile casino games. I would rather put it like this: if you are interested only in poker as such, and you don't need a mobile casino or sportsbook then play in EuroPoker, they specialize in this game; they have bonuses and various poker promotions. BWin is not that generous in respect to the mobile casino bonuses, but from one account you can play at their mobile casino as well as place a bet the sportsbook.

PokerRoom besides poker has also a casino (you can use a joint account), but worth mentioning, the mobile CasinoRoom offers now only one game - blackjack. The game weighs a bit less comparing to the other mobile casinos, - only 95 Kb, graphics is good, but a bit too fine, maybe because of the fact that they offer a game up to five boxes. I personally gave it a try and played simalteneously at two. The table limite is wide enough - $1-$300, I played at $3. The game was relatively smooth, though rather often there were series of 3-5 wins or 3-5 losses. I got a record win series - 12 wins in a row (and 5 losses at maximum)! Easy to guess, I finished my play session with not bad winnings. It resulted in 50 wins, 45 losses and 5 ties. The blackjacks let me down only ones, but with a double downs was OK: won 8 out of 10. As you can imagine, I enjoyed that! One of the most distinctive features of the mobile poker room is the ability for users to make deposits and withdrawals to and from a real money account via their mobile phone, as well as depositing via Moneybookers.

Other mobile poker rooms.
As I have already mentioned, there are not many mobile poker rooms yet. Factually, I could find the info on the mobile poker at PartyPoker web site, but they only have mobile Poker Trainer with a simple poker bot to sharpen your poker skills.

Also, it is necessary to mention Ultimate Bet mobile poker room, with software developed by Phantom Fiber. The problem with this mobile poker room is that comparing the room with Ongame, mobile poker players have no access to the online poker tables. Ongame has some limits, but the player is able to have access from the phone to the same tables, as online player. With Ultimate Bet, access is given only to special tables for a mobile poker version.

Mobile casinos as well as mobile poker companies definitely would be adding more games selection to the Mobile Gaming software, so keep an eye out for new additions.
