Another supplier as the market hots up

Gaming provider, Mobile Pioneer apparently tested the water in mobile gambling this week with the launch of a play-money-only 'no limit' version of Maui Texas Hold'em, a mobile multiplayer poker game for mobiles.

The game features live multiplayer action for up to 8 players at a table. The Maui Texas Hold'em client software also includes a powerful 'shootout' format tournament for off-network play. Maui Texas Hold'em features both limit and no-limit Texas Hold'em games for mobiles - the no-limit option allowing players to 'go all in' at any point in the game. Play does not use real money, but in every other respect is similar to actual Texas Hold'em online poker. Maui Texas Hold'em lobbies support both limit and no limit games.

The Mobile Pioneer announcement says that the application has been designed from the ground up to successfully overcome the constraints inherent in the mobile environment. To ensure live action, users can be notified when players are online by way of wireless email notification.

Maui Texas Hold'em client software is available for over 30 handset models, including Nokia, Samsung, and Sanyo.
