Wednesday 9th March 2005 World’s First Cellular Casino Already a Reality in Japan
Nicosia, Cyprus – The future of casino gaming has already become a working reality for Japan’s 7.2 million avid cell phone gamers. Since February, Japanese owners of Docomo cell phones have already begun spinning their ways to cellular fortunes, playing Java-based slots via real money casino accounts from www.arkcasino.com.

Japanese players at www.arkcasino.com, a licensed operator of BeTheDealer Casino, can access both the PC download casino and the new cellular casino with the same, free account. The download casino offers BTD’s full suite of 23 casino games, replete with the patented ‘Dealer’ functionalities. The cellular casino currently offers three variations of BTD’s 3-reel multi-line progressive jackpots slots, with video poker and blackjack to be released within the coming weeks.
