Connective Games has created a mobile app for Pokerdom’s Pineapple Open-Face Chinese Poker that seeks to capitalise on the growing popularity of the poker variant.
As with other poker games, in Pineapple OFC players take turns drawing cards from a single deck, trying to make the best possible hand. Unlike other poker games, however, there are no bets placed during the rounds of play. Instead, the players agree to play “per point.”
The goal of the three-player game is to achieve more points than your opponents by winning more hands and also by collecting “royalties” on premium hands.
Connective CEO Serge Mukhanov said: “Mobile gaming is definitely the fastest growing sector in online gaming and we have overcome many technical challenges to bring poker to mobile and make it as accessible and enjoyable as other platforms, such as developing the technology for multi-tabling.
“As specialist online poker game developers, we understand that the success of poker depends on viable mobile performance. So we are very pleased that this new variant can now be offered on multiple platforms.”
“Our Pineapple OFC games have received a great response from players,” said managing director at Pokerdom, Nazim Izmaylov.
“It’s a variant that has been only been in existence for a couple of years, but it’s gaining a lot of recognition and becoming increasingly popular. With the launch of the mobile app, we’re looking at dramatically expanding player liquidity for Pineapple OFC.”
