Moblife goes to Las Vegas! by Liam Clark

Nov 20, 2008
Last week we showed you some of the great features of PokerRoom.com's Mobile Poker Game by taking it out on the streets of Melbourne during Team PokerRoom.com's trip to the 2008 PokerNews Cup. Another Team PokerRoom.com live event which we took the Mobile Poker Game for some road-testing was none other than the daddy of all events, the 2008 WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas.

Now as you all know, everyone's favourite US President, George. W. Bush, signed the SAFE Port Act into US legislation in 2006, so we wouldn't dare play for real money in Vegas. However, this just gave us a chance to try out another great feature of the Mobile Poker Game - the Play for Fun feature.

When you download the Mobile Poker Game it comes not only with the great real money feature, but it also comes loaded with an option to just Play for Fun. With the Play for Fun, you can either play offline in cash games and sit & go tournaments against computerized opponents with varying skill levels, or you can play online in cash games against other PokerRoom.com Play Money players.

This is a great feature to have on your mobile phone, as when certain circumstances prevent you from playing for real money you can just hone your skills on the play money tables instead. With the offline version you don't have to even connect to the internet! Forget playing annoying little games on your phone while you’re sitting on the train; PokerRoom.com's Mobile Poker Game is the answer to all your time killing needs!

Now when we got to Vegas I got all the staff to play on the offline version of the game and everyone was really impressed with how realistic and intelligent the game is. All the graphics and table options are the same as the Real Money version so it looks great and plays much better than your average computerised poker game. However, the best thing about the WSOP Main Event road-test came when I found Team PokerRoom.com veteran efroni1 playing the offline version of the game while he was wondering around the Hoover Dam with the rest of the Team.

efroni1 wasn't aware that we were running a promotion with the Mobile Poker Game, he is just is a big fan of both the Real Money and Play Money features of Mobile Poker and he thought that wondering around the Hoover Dam was the perfect time to get some practice in for the upcoming WSOP Main Event!

efroni1 is a serious roller, and after going deep into the third day of the WSOP 2008 Main Event he has just qualified for the 2009 Aussie Millions with Team PokerRoom.com. He loves his poker and loves the freedom that the Mobile Poker Game gives him to play poker at his convenience - how else could he get some time at the tables while walking around the Hoover Dam!

So if you want play on PokerRoom.com anytime, anywhere, just like efroni1 does, then make sure you download PokerRoom.com's Mobile Poker Game today!

Turn the Hoover Dam into you own private Poker Room
