Mobile Phone Interactive, Multi-Player Gaming System for Poker

In 2003, overall Internet gaming wagers totaled nearly $5.7 billion and according to industry analysts, Christiansen Capital Advisors, wagers will grow to more than $18 billion by the year 2010.

According to Screen Digest there are more than 400 million game-enabled handsets world wide and 2004 mobile gaming revenues are nearly $1 billion. Wireless Week estimates there were at least 183.1 million U.S. wireless subscribers in 2004.

"We build software and license it to gaming companies," Jensen said. "We believe there are more than 2,000 gaming companies in the market willing to offer Texas Holdem for play on a mobile phone. Players can download and play the play-for-fun version today at our website. Our play-for-money version of Texas Holdem is available for licensing today."

Jensen said according to industry analysts at PokerPulse.com, only 210 sites are dedicated to poker (as of October 2004), and the vast majority of these support only a handful of players. "There is a tremendous opportunity for growth," he said.
