Fortuna Gaming Corp., (OTC Bulletin Board: FGAM.OB), ("the Company"), through its subsidiary Fortuna Gaming (UK) Limited ("Fortuna") is pleased to announce the next generation of its mobile poker: "Mobile Gold." "Mobile Gold is a new 10 hand version of our Texas Hold'em product that is available to players around the globe on the new Blackberry 8700 series," says Doug Waugh, President of the Company. "We are committed to providing our shareholders and players maximum value and with the success of the Motorola Razr and we felt it was time to broaden our player base." "Fortuna's Mobile Gold will attract a wider 'for free' player base because of its use of the BlackBerry technology in North America," says Dallas Robinson VP Marketing. "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." MGN is the developer of the mobile Texas Hold'em product. "Gold Mobile - Texas Hold'em," a 10-hand Texas Hold'em mobile game, was built specifically by MGN for the BlackBerry 8700 series mobile phone. The BlackBerry 8700c is the first handset available in Research in Motion's ('RIM') new range of Intel-based smartphones. The 8700c is available exclusively on the Cingular network in the U.S. and the 8700r is available exclusively on the Rogers network in Canada. The 8700 is a quad-band GSM/GPRS world phone which means it should work in most places on the planet. The QVGA color LCD screen is new and improved at 320x240 pixels. It's described as the fastest BlackBerry yet. "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 our new Gold Mobile game," said Mark Jensen, CEO of Mobile Gaming Now. "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." |
Mobile gambling refers to gambling done on a remote wirelessly connected device. These devices can include wireless tablet PC's, mobile phones and other non traditional mid-level networked comuting devices. Some online casinos and online poker cardrooms offer mobile options. Mobile gambling requires a data connection to operate and in most cases this data layer is provided by the telecom provider for the region or country. GPRS, GSM Data, UMTS, I-MODE are all data layer technologies upon which mobile gambling depends. While still relatively underdeveloped, analysts place the value of the market space at US$20 billion by 2010. Jupiter, Gartner and Seymour Pierce all project rapid growth in the sector through to 2010. The market is still in its nascent market at the moment, as mobile operators and brands/ media owners are not in a position to create this market at the moment due to the potential reputational risk. This is mainly because of the uncertain nature of most countries' in-decision towards regulation of remote gambling online gambling. Some companies however have begun developing and testing mobile platforms to position themselves early in the anticipated growth of the market. |

If you have about gambling the classic image of a casino, full of people, who wants to place their bets, maybe you may want to think again.
According to an Informa Telecoms & Media report, cited by Digital-Lifestyles.info , the market for mobile gambling content is going to soar from US$1.2bn of annual revenues in 2005 to US$7.6bn by 2010, with more than 200 million consumers gambling the odds using mobile devices. "Mobile gambling is already generating significant revenues, but there is room for sharp growth in the years ahead," says Stuart Dredge, the report's author. "Operators recognize that there is a strong demand for mobile gambling services, and there is no shortage of companies looking to provide them. However, the industry must keep in mind its responsibilities to tackle underage and problem gambling." The report looked at the three key types of mobile gambling - sports betting, lotteries and casino-gaming - and predicted that lotteries are going to be the number one form of mobile gambling in the next five years, spurred on by widespread handset support. The report sees Europe remaining the largest market for mobile gambling, generating a hefty US$3.2bn of annual revenues by 2010. According to a previous report, the analysts of Jupiter Research consider, also, that the new name of the game is lotteries, which will generate the most important growth of revenues, until 2010. Jupiter Research considers that a cause for this it may be the fact that lotteries are more acceptable to the laws than casinos or sport betting. But also if the laws on gambling will be changed in China or U.S. those values are likely to change. |
