Finding Cleoptra’s author like needle in haystack

Rating: When you research mobile gambling things go Kerching

Both the porn and gambling industries have an excellent record in leveraging leading edge technology. Hence the words – “Graphics for our mobile casino games matches that of many internet casino slot machines” – intriguedus . The mobile slots game in question was Cleoptra from Kerching Mobile.GoMo News spotted this sentence – “As mobile touchscreen technology improves, we’re constantly looking for new ways to make our games more interactive.” – and decided to follow up

Specificallly,  GoMo News was curious to discover roughly how many mobile phone users actually play slots on their handsets in the UK but Kerching’s PR declined to comment.

Downloading the game onto a fairly innocuous Nokia E66 did prove that the graphics are indeed state of the art. The catch is when you try to play the game in demo mode.

GoMo News suspects that a gambling game like this really does have a real-time link to a genuine casino (probably based in Las Vegas). Which is why the data link fell over reularly even though it was 3G.

Trying to delve a little deeper into the game’s origins proved a disaster. Kerching Mobile is actually operated by Million-2-1 which, “Offers a consumer-facing internet games portal, Kerching.
In legal territories, this games portal offers an online casino, online poker, bingo, SMS games, and cell phone Java slots games.”
However, Million-2-1 is itself owned by the IGT Group which owns a large number of well-known slot machine brands including Barcrest, for example.

So GoMo news hasn’t any idea who really did all the hard work developing the actual Cleopatra game. But never mind.
