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 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 many cases with famous software, my results were good. Within the majority of casinos I managed to win, that is the end result were even better that they should have been in theory. On the whole, I would quite recommend playing in mobile casinos.
Concerning mobile poker rooms it is just a little more problematic. Firstly, there can be problems with players themselves – connection problems. In many 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. Actually, a small screen of a smartphone can’t fit ten people who have cards, because of this, as a rule, only half of the table is displayed, there is both manual and automatic scrolling. Even after this, card sizes and cards face appear to be very small, but in principle, everything is readable, it really is possible to play.
Currently there are actually not many mobile rooms. One of them was “Ultimate Bet” a mobile poker room within “Ongame” network. Even though, in the event of “Ultimate Bet” players of a mobile version can play only cash games and they are just low limit. You will 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’re not able to play the same tables you can from a PC. Ongame soft networks are much better – you get the opportunity to play at the same tables that online casino 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 (within this case everything is on the screen without scrolling) options.
To select a table you’ve got a chance to apply filters as regards each of the parameters, there after you will get the number of available tables. Having chosen the name of the table, below you will find standard information on the table: flop view, medium bank, the range of players etc. Unfortunately, in contrast to 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 any one). Finally sitting down at the poker table, you will find that it really is a reduced copy of the Ongame tables with the same avatars of players. You can 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 you can go into the amount of your bet.
On the entire, it’s rather convenient to play, especially limited poker, even though, you won’t manage to play at several tables, as such, I feel that it is better to play in person: a dynamic game and also the image is big, no need to scroll. Also I would recommend to test your poker skills at Bwin mobile poker room, as well as at rather popular EuroPoker room. Through 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 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 is not a bad choice.
