Software
The mFortune Texas Hold'em app is compatible with 99% of smartphones, which means you can not only play against friends who use iOS, Blackberry and Android devices, but you can also play against anyone using an old school java phone. The app does not require Flash or Adobe Air and works on every version of Android & iOS.
One of the coolest features is the ability to create private tablets and invite friends to play against you. You can search for friends by name, nickname or e-mail address and add them to a friends list for easy reference later. The app also vibrates when it's your turn to play, which means you'll never miss another hand again.
The mFortune graphics are colorful although they're not quiet as slick as some of their competitors, such as 888 and Bwin. The poker client is very easy to download and install and since it doesn't require Flash or Adobe Air you can start playing straight away. The app is compatible with phones from Nokia, Apple, Acatel, RIM/Blackberry, Amoi, HTC, Huawei, O2, Orange, Sagem, Samsung, Sharp, Sony Ericsson, T-Mobile, Toshiba, Vodafone, ZTE and many more.

Competition
mFortune is primarily a mobile casino that also offers multi-player Texas Hold'em. As a result, many of the players you will find at their poker room know little or nothing about poker, which makes from some very loose play and extremely soft competition. The mFortune probably has more poker fish than any of the other mobile poker room. The £5 No Deposit bonus also attracts a lot of casual players who are just there to tryout the software and who don't care if they lose the free £5 bankroll in a couple of hands.
Conclusion
Although the mFortune Texas Hold'em app may lack some of the the more advanced features you will find at some other mobile poker rooms, it is still well worth checking out. Firstly, mFortune is the only mobile poker room that allows players to create private tables to compete against friends. Secondly, it is currently the only real-money poker app that works on Blackberry handsets and older java phones. Anyone who creates an account with mFortune will receive £5 immediately, which they can use to play at the real-money tables. mFortune also offer their players regular top-up bonuses as well as a 100% initial match bonus up to $400.
