World Series of Poker Goes Mobile with Johnny Chan, Chris 'Jesus' Ferguson and Shannon Elizabeth 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.
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."
