Chimera Poised to Finish Mobile Phone Gambling Integration

Online gambling platform developer, Chimera Technology Corp., announced that it now has begun integrating its anticipated mobile phone gaming platform. No later than May 2005 will the company have completed this integration and make the technology available to consumers.

In early February Chimera announced it was seeking the technology to begin the implementation process. And now the company is moving at a rate that would make it one of the leading providers of online casino gaming via mobile phones. Chimera says the new platform will be available to all of its licensees immediately upon the completion of the current integration, and that online casino gambling games such as hi-lo poker, blackjack, video poker, and baccarat will be available for real-money or practice play for fun.

Chimera is defending their move into the non-existent market (as of yet) of mobile gaming, stating that the industry stands to bring in $16 billion worldwide by 2008, and that US$2 billion of that will come from American gamblers.

The company has in fact done its research, pinpointing the US economy as a fertile ground for this type of online casino gambling. However, there are some concerns. First, the question remains whether the US will categorize this type of gambling under their infamous Wire Act, which already prohibits casino sports betting online. Also unforeseen is just how efficient gambling from mobile phones will be. We all know how temperamental mobile phones can be, operating under the care of satellites, which are prone to unpredictable weather conditions. Just how responsive Chimera’s online gaming platform will be, and how the company deals with inevitable kinks in the system will soon be seen.
