Developer and supplier of online gaming content Connective Games and Russia-facing online poker operator PokerDоm announced the launch of a mobile application for the Pineapple Open Face Chinese Poker (Pineapple OFC) format.
Commenting on the announcement, Serge Mukhanov, CEO of Connective Games, said that with mobile being the fastest growing online gaming sector, they have faced a number of technical challenges while adjusting poker to mobile and making it just as accessible and equally enjoyable as other gaming platforms.
The executive further noted that the success of online poker is highly dependant on it being offered on a viable mobile platform and that they are excited to have brought the Pineapple OFC variant across various channels.
PokerDom Managing Director Nazim Izmaylov said that their Pineapple OFC offering has been welcomed by gambling customers. The official also pointed out that although the format came into being only several years ago, it has gained quite a lot of popularity. With the launch of the mobile Pineapple OFC offering, Mr. Izmaylov hopes that they will expand player liquidity considerably.
PokerDom launched Pineapple OFC offering for desktop last July. At that point, the variant had already began gaining popularity among players but was almost impossible to play it online. Responding to the quickly growing demand for the game, Connecitve Games provided PokerDom’s poker community with the opportunity to be among the first to play it online.
As in other poker formats, in Pineapple OFC players are drawing cards from a deck and it is their main goal to make the best possible hand. However, they do not place bets during the rounds taken and are scored by points. It is also important to note that only three players can take part in a single Pineapple OFC game.
Each player has three boxes for a total of 13 cards in front of them. The front hand/box is known to be the highest one. It contains three cards. The middle and the back hand, which is also the lowest one, each contain five cards. Hands are arranged in various combinations with the sole purpose of making the best possible combination and thus gaining the most points.
