ANOTHER MOBILE GAMING CONTENDER
Abiro throws its hat into the ring
Another
competitor has entered the mobile gambling lists with the announcement that Abiro,
a provider of mobile multimedia and news services, has launched a mobile casino
with a number of unique features.
The new product joins Abiro’s existing
mobile-related services. ‘Mobile Fun’ provides a very broad spectrum
of ringtones, pictures, themes, games and videos to enhance the phone experience,
while ‘Mobile News’ is a blog-like news service commenting on trends
and other phenomena within the mobile phone industry.
This service is
a partnership between Abiro and a UK company whose name is becoming increasingly
familiar, MobVision and is currently only available in the UK. The makers plan
to apply rigorous controls of age (18+ only), daily payments (max GBP15/day) and
fraud.
Games are played on a mobile phone, and to get started a free-of-charge
Java application is downloaded to the phone either via WAP or ordered via SMS.
The user can choose from a selection of 6 casino games: Nudge7, Sunset Slots,
Roulette, Hawaii Hi-Lo, Big Apple Blackjack and Pirate Poker.
Other unique
features include: easy to use, Nintendo-style one-button play, games are not lost
if the connection is interrupted, there is extensive customer support and 90 percent
average payouts and a hit rate as high as 1 in 3, claims the prss release.
