Of Course! Poker on Mobile Phones

As if we don't have enough time to play poker (or watch all kinds of poker on TV -- even the Travel Channel!), now I hear how Harrah's (one of the oldest, not glitzy-est) gambling companies will offer the "World Series of Poker" on mobile phones.

Through the agreement with Glu Mobile, mobile phoners will not be able to bet or gamble, but will have access to special ringtones, wallpaper and other goodies. Any bets that betting will soon be coming -- can't see how such as friendly state as Nevada won't soon allow it.

Next we'll have to have multi-screen phones like the ones on theĀ Nintendo DS or adapt picture-in-picture TV tech for the phone to keep up with all the stuff that we'll be able to watch on it; right?

Interesting... The only way that gambling would be allowed would be if the company offering it is an offshore based company. Remember that all of these comercials on TV point to the play money sites, not the real money sites. From what I understand online gambling is illegal in the states, so I would assume that would extend to cell phones as well...

Good points, but there may be larger forces at work in this area ...

To be honest I can't see the point.

I am based in the UK and we have some great mobile poker rooms where you can play real cash games. They seem to be a lot easier to win money from.
