PROBABILITY LEADS THE iPHONE WAY
14 December 2007
UK mobile company develops an iPhone gambling
capability
London-listed mobile technology company Probability plc,
successfully demonstrated a gambling service running on
an Apple iPhone last week, leading the mobile gambling
field in the technology.
The company has developed a fully working version of
Blackjack, boasting that it is the first online casino
game to have been built and demonstrated in real money
play mode on an iPhone in the UK.
The iPhone Blackjack has all the features of the real
game, including insurance, split and double down options
enjoyed by gamblers. Bets take place on Probability's
secure gambling servers in Alderney in the Channel Isles
using the iPhone's mobile or WiFi connections.
Being an iPhone application, the game has all the
benefits of the device's unique, touch driven,
interface. Tapping twice on the screen zooms the player
into seeing the cards close up, and the player can drag
and scroll the whole game experience with a fingertip.
Interaction involves tapping virtual buttons on the
screen.
Unfortunately, the iPhone inventor Apple does not
presently allow third party developers to install
applications on the iPhone. However, Probability's
developers - working from technical information provided
by Apple itself - have been able to re-create a full
Blackjack experience in the iPhone's Safari web browser.
Probability has over 200 000 customers on all UK
networks signed up for gambling on casino and bingo on
their mobile phones.
Commenting on the iPhone development work, Probability's
CEO Charles Cohen, said: "This really is a world first
and an important technological step for us. The iPhone
experience, I believe, is a sign of things to come for
all mobile phones."
Using Web 2.0 marketing tactics, Probability has
demonstrated the new iPhone game on YouTube.com.
