From HANDS-ON MOBILE:
World Poker Tour® 7-Card Stud Wireless Game. (SRP is approximately
$4-$6/month but varies with carrier.)
HANDS-ON MOBILE has added World Poker Tour: 7 Card Stud to its first title,
World Poker Tour: Texas Hold ‘Em, launched last summer, one of HANDS-ON
MOBILE’s most popular titles of all time. HANDS-ON MOBILE’s new WPT 7 Card
Stud incorporates the best features of Texas Hold ‘Em, plus exciting new
enhancements that advance the entire category of mobile casino games. Just
like WPT Texas Hold ‘Em, WPT 7 Card Stud features six-person real time
multiplayer, online leaderboards, global rankings and customizable profiles.
New for WPT 7 Card Stud, HANDS-ON MOBILE has enhanced the artificial
intelligence, which now presents distinct player personalities for an added
layer of intrigue. This enables players to become familiar with tournament
regulars and their playing styles as they progress through game modes on
their way to winning a WPT title. World Poker 7 Card Stud also has advanced
multiplayer capability, including the six-person, real-time multiplayer action
that made Texas Hold ‘Em such a hit. Players can login and play online with
players from all over the world. A leaderboard keeps track of all player chip
totals and rankings and players can see the overall leaders as well as the
other players immediately surrounding their position. During online play,
players will be matched up with players of similar ranking. As your poker
playing skills improve, your ranking rises, and you will be matched up with
more challenging opponents. Players can play in weekly tournaments with
fixed buy-in and pre-determined winnings. Tournaments are single table only
with the top finishers splitting the purse. Available from most major US mobile
phone service carriers.
