Glu Mobile Inc. (Nasdaq:GLUU), a leading global publisher of mobile
games, today announced the launch of World Series of Poker®
Pro Challenge. The introduction of the new mobile game coincides with
the kickoff of the official World Series of Poker Main Event this week
and is through a multi-year, worldwide alliance between Glu and Harrah’s
License Company, LLC, an affiliate of Harrah’s
Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:HET).
World Series of Poker Pro Challenge offers players the first-ever
opportunity to go head-to-head in a mobile poker match against digital
representations of some of poker’s biggest
celebrities. Players can challenge renowned stars Johnny Chan, Chris “Jesus”
Ferguson, Shannon Elizabeth, Scotty Nguyen, Annie Duke and Michael
Mizrachi.
“I’ve played some
colorful players in my day, but this is the first time I’ve
played myself on a mobile phone,” said Johnny
Chan. “The graphics and features are
impressive, and the game is more realistic than any I’ve
seen on a mobile phone before.”
World Series of Poker Pro Challenge is equipped with advanced graphics
technology and a host of new features, creating the ultimate poker
experience for mobile gamers.
Features include:
Tells – Computerized opponents hint
at the strength of their hand. Tells, if watched closely and
recognized correctly, provide gamers with the edge needed to build
their reputation and bankroll.
New Perspective – First person
perspective view shows digitized opponents’
reactions, emotions and tells like never seen before.
Advanced AI - Next-generation poker engine learns from the gamer’s
tendencies and adjusts itself accordingly
Tilt Meter – If the digitized
opponents are played correctly, frustration eventually fills up their
tilt meter to put them “on-tilt.”
They will then make poor poker decisions and show tells more often.
“We are thrilled to be working with such
accomplished and well-respected players in the World Series of Poker
like Johnny Chan and Chris Ferguson,” said
Jill Braff, GM of the Americas, Glu. “World
Series of Poker Pro Challenge’s stunning
graphics and adaptive AI truly deliver the experience of going heads-up
against these world-class poker pros.”
