In the poker industry, there are many formats of poker gaming. The most popular options is Texas Hold’em followed closely by Omaha. Players also like to enjoy such variants as 5 card draw, 7 card draw, stud, and more. Pineapple Open Face Chinese Poker is one of the more obscure poker games that can be found at certain online gaming sites but not a game that everyone is familiar with. The game is enjoyable and one that can be a nice change of pace from the standard online poker formats. Just recently, PokerDom announced they have launched a mobile version of the Pineapple Open Face Chinese Poker game for players to enjoy.
PokerDom is an online poker site based in Russia who worked with Connective Games, a supplier and developer of online gaming content, to create the new mobile application. The Chief Executive Officer of Connective Games, Serge Mukhanov, commented on the announcement of the application release stating that because mobile gaming is the fastest growing online gaming sector, the company has faced several technical challenges while trying to adjust poker to mobile gaming. The company wanted to make sure the game is just as accessible as well as enjoyable as the other gaming platforms they provide.
Mukhanov further stated that online poker gaming success if highly dependent on being made available on a mobile platform. The company is excited to be able to provide Pineapple Open Face Chinese Poker across several channels. And it is most certainly true. As players are online more and more, using mobile devices to do so, poker operators as well as software providers have to make mobile an option. Millions of people rely on smartphones and tablets for daily activities so it makes sense to use this same technology to provide online poker gaming.
Nazim Izmaylov is the Managing Director for PokerDom, who also commented on the new release stating that the Pineapple Open Face Chinese Poker game has already been enjoyed by customers of the site. Officials noted that even though the format is a few years old, the option has continued to grow in popularity. Izmaylov is hoping that with the new release of the mobile gaming option, the brand will be able to see a nice expansion of player liquidity.
In July of last year, PokerDom released the desktop version of Pineapple Open Face Chinese Poker and players began to enjoy it quickly. The game had begun to be popular in land based play but players had few ways to enjoy the game online. PokerDom saw this and began to work with Connective Games to create an online solution. Thus the online version of Pineapple Open Face Chinese Poker was created and now a mobile version has been added for those who enjoy using a tablet or smartphone device.
The Pineapple OFC game offers a unique spin on poker gaming. Cards are drawn from a deck and the goal is to have the best possible hand, making the game similar to other card games. However, players are not going to be placing bets during the rounds of game play. Instead, players are earning points. Three players can compete in a single game and must earn the most points to win.
Players will have three boxes where 13 cards can fit in front of them. The front box will hold three cards and is the highest one. The middle and back boxes (for hands) will have five cards with the back box being the lowest hand. Hands will be arranged in different combinations to try to make the best hand and earn the most points. Players can now try the new game via desktop or mobile at PokerDom.
