Foxwoods Casino on the iPhone App Store
14 October 2009, Staff Writer
Foxwoods Resort and
Casino has just issued a press release announcing their
successful inclusion in iPhone's App Store with their new
Foxwood branded casino games.
The new application,
developed in conjunction with marketing and development firm
Mullen and Aurnhammer, offers a range of 'play for free' casino
games as well as a concierge service named the 'Velvet Rope
Club'.
The games, available in
play money mode only, consistent with Apples current App Store
games policy, simulates the sights and sounds of Foxwoods,
creating a virtual environment that the casino operator claim
'will immerse consumers in the Foxwoods experience'. The
Velvet Robe Club gives users a 24 hour hotline to Foxwoods
representatives who can answer any questions they have about the
Resort Casino or its services, as well as book rooms,
appointments and an array of reservations throughout the
property.
Foxwoods join
Hop-on,
Million-2-1 and
a number of other gambling operators eager to get their foot in
the door at the iPhone App Store in the hope that legislative
changes in the US allow for licensed remote gambling operations
in the near future and a consequent change in Apple's 'free
play' only policy currently applying to all games. At
present, while developers are able to sell their applications
for real money via the App Store, the games cannot be played for
real money.
Real money casino games
playable on the iPhone are available for play currently, but
must be downloaded directly from casino websites rather than the
App Store. Real money iPhone casino games may be found at
our iPhone casino page.
