Multiplayer Championship Poker released for iPhone and iPod touch
24th July, 2008
Now poker players can play their favourite game, Texas Hold’em, from anywhere and connect to a network of players who are already playing online through various devices.
A developer of multiplayer games, Real Dice, has just released Multiplayer Championship Poker for the iPhone and iPod Touch and is now available for purchase from the iTunes store for $9.99. Buyers of the new poker game can download it straight from iTunes and put it on their mobile device.
“The expansion of Multiplayer Championship Poker to the iTunes store now allows iPhone and iPod Touch customers to pull up a virtual chair and play Texas Hold’em with the 300,000 users who are already online on a variety of other devices,” said Russ McMahon, director of mobile development at Real Dice. “We’ve developed the game so players from every supported system can play live games together no matter which handset they have. This means that you can log in with your iPhone while you’re sitting at the airport and play with your Blackberry-loving best friend or take on a complete stranger who’s logged in through Facebook on the Web.”
The poker application allows users to play multi-table tournaments, “sit-n-go” tournaments and ring games against over 300,000 people who are already connected to the poker network. There is also an offline option where users can play against 200 different AI opponents and build a poker career.
Multiplayer Championship Poker was named “Game of the Year” in 2005, 2006 and 2007 by Smartphone Magazine. It can also be purchased for other formats including BlackBerry, Palm, Windows Mobile and Symbian.
