HandsOn Debuts Web-to-wireless Gameplay

Hands-On Mobile, which develops connected games and applications, and WPT Enterprises, have announced the launch of the award-winning, multiplayer game WPT Texas Hold Em 2, sequel to the successful WPT Texas Hold Em, on mobile. The latest instalment brings more to the table than ever before, the companies say, claiming it is the most advanced mobile game in the world today.
New features include unprecedented web-to-wireless multiplayer gameplay, the ability to create private tables and games, and a variety of customisation and communication tools. The game will be available on mobile phones worldwide.
WPT Texas Hold Em 2 lets players play alone in single-player mode, play live with other players at public tables, or create their own private tables to play with their friends or family. Customisable avatars and advanced communication features like chat, instant messaging lists, and regular multiplayer tournaments increase the interaction and community between all players. The web-to-wireless gameplay facility  means players can enjoy the same game on either their mobile phone or on the web, and play live, multiplayer poker against other mobile or web players from all over the world.
With more than 6 million downloads worldwide and hundreds of thousands of hands played weekly, the first WPT Texas Hold Em is consistently a top seller across major carriers worldwide. The sequel builds on the best from the first game and blazes new ground with the web-to-wireless mode, which one reviewer on the IGN gaming website has described as: a monster step forward not just for mobile poker, but mobile games in general.”
We are thrilled to continue leveraging the strength of the World Poker Tour brand and our mobile expertise to create market-leading products,” says Hands-On Mobile President and Chief Operating Officer, Lynne Crawford.  Together, we bring cutting-edge, connected games to consumers throughout the world. With integrated mobile and online gameplay, poker fans have the ability to play WPT Texas Hold Em 2 against anyone, anywhere.”
