Pro Poker Player To Help Produce "Million Dollar" Game

14 Oct 2007

Ask almost anyone at an online casino poker room who their idol is and most of them will pronounce the name of a professional poker player. After all, those guys play poker as good as it gets, making sometimes millions of dollars from their “hobby”. It appears now that Gameloft, an international publisher and developer of video games for mobile devices, will be joining forces with one of those professional poker players, Gus Hansen, in order to develop a new game, “Million Dollar Poker”. According to the company, this product, which is scheduled to be released on October 29th, will be the most accessible and advanced poker game to date.

Gus Hansen, born in Denmark almost 34 years, is probably one of the most famous poker players worldwide. Hansen, who turned into a professional in 1997, is the only player to win three World Poker Tour (WPT) open tournaments and in 2004 he was inducted into the World Poker Tour Walk of Fame. By helping to produce this new game, Hansen will bring in his expertise in this field, trying to provide the players with a mobile device poker game that resembles the real thing.

“It was truly an exciting and eye-opening process for me working with Gameloft to develop this poker title. The amount of thought and detail put into creating this game was impressive” said Hansen recently. There’s no doubt that partnerships like this one can only benefit both the players and the online casino industry. After all, they sure could teach other players a trick or two and maybe even help them to win some money.
