Abiro Adds Bingo to its Mobile Casino
Abiro | 19 Jan 2006
Abiro is a pioneer in providing a mobile casino, being active since mid 2005. The service has since its inception been offered to customers in the UK and utilizes strict methods for age and fraud control, to minimize risk of abuse. The reliability of the system has over time proven to be very high. Even when experiencing radio drop-outs, the game can be continued from where it was left off once communication is up again.
Game play is fully performed via a mobile phone. The user easily downloads the free casino application by sending an SMS with ‘play away’ to 80160, or downloads it via Abiro’s WAP site at wap.abiro.com. Once the casino application has been installed, the user can choose from any of the games provided. There are no charges outside of the actual game play.
In total Mobile Casino offers Bingo, Fortune Teller, Nudge7, Slots, Roulette, Hi-Lo, Blackjack and Poker.
Anders Borg, CEO of Abiro explains: “In the beginning of 2005 the concept of a mobile casino was new and unproven, yet we had the strong conviction that this market has strong potential.” Anders Borg continues: “There are already 100s of millions of phones with Java worldwide, so a lot of phones are enabled for these kinds of services, and playing games is an excellent way of killing time. Many in the industry believe the market for mobile casinos will bloom during 2006”, Anders ends.
Mobile Casino is a partnership with MobVision.
