Dublin-based mobile casino social games developer KamaGames announced the addition of Omaha Poker to its Pokerist offering Wednesday, where it will join the company’s Texas Poker, Roulette, Baccarat and Blackjack products.
The new game features a tutorial for players; although similar to Texas Hold’em, the game differs in that each player is dealt four cards instead of two and must make their best hand using two of them plus three of the five community cards.
The attraction of Omaha for players is that the increased number of cards equates to wider card combinations which in turn means more hands being played for bigger pots.
Daniel Kashti, chief marketing and commercial officer at KamaGames said in a launch announcement:
“We are seeing the social casino landscape continuing to grow rapidly and we want to make sure that we are providing an exciting playing experience that is appealing to different communities and markets.
“Being able to both excite first-time poker players whilst at the same time keeping our more advanced players engaged and challenged is a daily focus for our studios and will continue to be in the future. By releasing the Omaha Poker game we are aiming to provide our players with a new, fresh and diversified gaming experience whilst leveraging the truly social core of our platform.”
The app is available in iOS and Android formats, with Windows 10 imminent and includes Daily Quests, Daily Bonuses and achievement levels.
