"World Poker Tour Texas Hold 'Em Is an Absolute Winner," Says IGN

LONDON - 07/25/2005: MFORMA Group, Inc., the leading global publisher and distributor of mobile entertainment, has brought the excitement of WORLD POKER TOURTM (WPT) into the wireless arena by creating a mobile version of the high-stakes, high-energy brand of exciting poker revolutionized by the WORLD POKER TOUR television series, which in just under three years has become one of the most lucrative ventures in sports and is the highest-rated TV series in the history of the Travel Channel.

World Poker Tour Texas Hold 'Em, the mobile game, is already live in the U.S. and is now launching on the major European wireless networks. The mobile game incorporates elements of the WPT TV show and the action develops just as it does on the TV show, complete with a text-based announcer giving the nicknames of your hands. MFORMA are launching both single player and real time six-person multiplayer versions of the game in Europe so that fans can play alone for practice or join in with other players whenever they want to.

According to IGN, leading internet gaming and entertainment destination, World Poker Tour Texas Hold 'Em "really has the goods" and is a "knockout." Rated 9 out of 10, World Poker Tour Texas Hold 'Em is arguably the best mobile poker game available anywhere today.

"The poker phenomenon is carrying right over to mobile and we have worked closely with WPT to create the best mobile poker game ever," said Dan Kranzler, MFORMA CEO. "In just a short time, we have several virtual millionaires with many more gunning to beat their chip totals. The number of users wanting to play in tournaments is beyond all expectations and we've had record numbers of simultaneous multiplayer users. Unique among mobile games, World Poker Tour Texas Hold 'Em not only takes advantage of the current popularity of poker, but also the thirst users have for competition, interaction, and winning."

The multi player game allows users to play free poker with up to five other players in real time. The superior graphics make for the sharpest details - crisp card faces and lush green table felt. The unique side-to-side camera panning action shows the largest game play space ever seen in a mobile poker game. Every mobile user has the ability to interact with the WPT through promotions, tournaments and prizes, furthering the fun and excitement.

"MFORMA has captured the look and style of our show, delivering a high fidelity re-enactment that is unmistakably World Poker Tour," said Andrea Green, Director of Global Consumer Products of WPT Enterprises, Inc.
