MOBILE GOLD ON YOUR BLACKBERRY
Fortuna's mobile poker launched
Poker fans with the ubiquitous Blackberry communicator have a new addition to while away those idle minutes between emails. Fortuna Gaming has launched the next generation of its mobile poker, 'Mobile Gold,' now available to players everywhere on the Blackberry 8700 series.
Doug Waugh, President of Fortuna said, "We are committed to providing our shareholders and players maximum value and following the success of the Motorola Razr we felt it was time to broaden our player base."
Waugh is confident that Mobile Gold will attract a wider 'play for free' player base because of its use of the BlackBerry technology in North America.
Dallas Robinson, VP Marketing at Fortuna agrees: "We believe, based on Mobile Gaming Now's ('MGN'), research, that this will prove to be a lucrative move for the company, and consistent with our strategic plan, will enhance the player's experience and game satisfaction wherever their location."
Mark Jensen, CEO of Mobile Gaming Now was also enthusiastic: "We're very impressed with the new BlackBerry 8700 series. With its speed, new screen size and clear graphics, we felt it would be a perfect device to launch the new game. We have a 6-hand and 10-hand game that integrates simultaneously with the PC. A player at a table can't tell if someone's playing on a PC or a mobile phone. The new Gold Mobile is a 10-hand mobile game with high quality graphics. It's our top-of-the-line mobile game. Players can also use the other BlackBerry devices to play our games."
