(166) (26-jul-06)

Poker ace's business partnership with Oasys pays off

Phil "The Professor" Helmuth has been developing additional income streams over and above his international poker tournament winnings, it appears. His mobile gambling game "Texas Holdem by Phil Hellmuth", produced since May 2004 by Oasys Mobile, Inc., has achieved the unusual honour of making the top 10 list of mobile games in the United States, joining the likes of classic games Tetris and Frogger.

"We will continue to bring to market best-selling mobile games like UNO Challenge and Texas Hold'em by Phil Hellmuth that build upon the growing popularity of mobile communities," said Gary Ban , Oasys Mobile CEO. "By expanding our distribution channels to extend our reach abroad, we are able to generate additional revenue and growth opportunities."

Hellmuth, nine-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner, teamed up with Oasys Mobile to create the Texas Holdem game as one of the first and most successful multi-player mobile games. The game now has one of the largest mobile gaming communities available with over 850 000 registered users, and is available through major U.S. wireless carriers.
