From my perspective, the most convenient interface is in mobile casinos using “Microgaming” software – easy handling action buttons (which is particularly helpful playing video poker), there is no need to make extra touches to make a bet and start a whole 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 is 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’s just a little more problematic. Firstly, there can be issues with players themselves – connection problems. In many situations, especially if a telephone is on the move or even in some “dead spots” with no network coverage, there can be connection drops. Secondly, there appears an issue with the screen size. Actually, a small screen of a mobile device can’t fit ten those that have cards, because of this, 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 really is possible to play.
At the present time you’ll find not many mobile rooms. One of them was “Ultimate Bet” a mobile poker room within “Ongame” network. Although, in case of “Ultimate Bet” players of a mobile version can play only cash games and they are just low limit. There are actually 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 tend to be better – you get a chance to play at the exact same tables that online poker players do. Right now only Hold’Em, cash games limited and unlimited are offered. You will find long, short and face-to-face tables (in this case everything is on the screen without scrolling) options.
To select a table you have the chance to apply filters as regards each of the parameters, after that you get the list of available tables. Having chosen the name of the table, below you will find standard information on the table: flop view, medium bank, the number of players etc. Unfortunately, in contrast to the internet 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 any one). Finally sitting down at the poker table, you will discover that it is a reduced copy of the Ongame tables with the same avatars of players. You’ll 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 one can go into the amount of your bet.
On the entire, it’s rather convenient to play, especially limited poker, though, you won’t manage to play at several tables, as such, I believe that it is better to play face to face: a dynamic game as well as the image is big, no need to scroll. Also I would recommend to test your poker skills at Bwin mobile poker room, safe gambling and also at rather popular EuroPoker room. Through the way, the traffic while playing is very low – not higher than in a mobile casino. Should you have any doubts about your competence in poker techniques attempt to 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 isn’t a bad choice.
