T-Mobile signs up for Texas Hold'm 2


The popularity with gamblers-on-the-go of World Poker Tour's Texas Hold'em 2 game received another boost this week when publisher Hands On Mobile announced that the UK network T-Mobile is to carry the game for Brit players.

The game is the second in a series (see previous InfoPowa reports) that has set new levels of popularity and mobile action. WPT 1 has delivered more than 6 million downloads globally and more than 14.5 million hands played on the mobile game since launch and the WPT2 sequel has overtaken that with double the number of unique users in a similar time frame.

"More than 7 million hands have been played in the six months since its launch in the U.S. alone," a Hands-On Mobile release boasted this week.

The game was launched in the United Kingdom to rave reviews and accolades, and Hands-On Mobile anticipates being able to announce other operators taking the product soon.

"Hands-On Mobile's WPT 2 is the biggest in mobile poker games, and we are really excited that we can now offer it to our customers via Web'n'Walk," said Neil Holroyd, T-Mobile U.K. games and gambling manager.

"The gameplay is intuitive, and the graphics are slick, but it's the multi-player element of WPT 2 that will really generate excitement among both new and experienced poker players alike."

With WPT 2, players can play on their own or they can play against any other user or users via their mobile devices. All of the games are "play for fun" with no real money at stake.
