Principality of Sealand, December 2, 2002 -- Popular online gaming site The Gold Casino today released the first version of their website specifically for Pocket PC gamers.
The site, which is now viewable on Pocket PC browsers at the casino´s standard URL (http://www.thegoldcasino.com), is aimed at users of the major gold-backed internet currencies, e-gold (http://www.e-gold.com) and GoldGrams (http://www.goldmoney.com). Using the Pocket PC´s built-in web browser, and the Flash plug-in from Macromedia, users can play their favorite casino games in an engaging animated format, and win real gold which may be cashed out immediately.
"We had discussed doing a mobile site for some time," said Stefan Putin, Marketing Manager of The Gold Casino, "and the Pocket PC / Flash combination was too good to pass up. Not only were we able to develop the games in record time, we were able to maintain the rich multimedia presentation and the unique style that users had come to expect from our full-sized website."
The release of "Pocket TGC" marks the latest in a series of technological firsts for The Gold Casino. In addition to being the only casino based on digital gold currencies, and the only casino to offer instantaneous payouts on demand, it is now the first casino to offer mobile Flash gaming. "This is an exciting debut for us, but it´s only the beginning," said Putin. "We´ve already had one tester report playing from a traffic jam in Jakarta, and we believe pervasive gaming is the future. We will bring the TGC gambling experience to mobile devices, everywhere."
The "Pocket TGC" version of The Gold Casino is compatible with all Pocket PC 2002 devices, including the current handheld models offered by Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Toshiba, ViewSonic, Packard Bell, Fujitsu, Razor, O2, Zayo and Novatek.
In addition, users who do not wish to play for gold, or who do not have accounts with the supported currencies, may play the games for free using fictional "fun-grams". Players without Pocket PCs can also visit The Gold Casino through their ordinary desktop web browser and play the Pocket TGC games in preview versions, as well as an additional variety of full-sized desktop games.
