PokerRoom.com is bringing its online poker games to cell phones starting April 11.

Users with a web-enabled phone will be able to log on to their PokerRoom.com account and play cards as if they were actually sitting in front of their home computer. "With availability on cell phones, the game is available anywhere, anytime," said PokerRoom.com CEO Patrik Selin. "The advance of cell phone graphics makes the experience almost identical to that of playing online and I think people will enjoy taking the game on the road."

To use the service, customers are asked create an account @ www.pokerroom.com from a computer and pick one of many options to deposit real money. After visiting a link on the Web site, users can then send a mobile version of the game to their phone and activate it from there.

PokerRoom.com's cell phone game works the same way as the online game. You can play against real people for real money or play money. The cell phone game also works so users could hone their skills while the cellphone is not online.

The cell phone version offers 3 different views. The "normal view" includes graphics similar to the computer version. The "symbol view" offers the game with simplified graphics. The "text view" includes a history of how the hand was played.

The game also has a chat function which allows users to interact with each other in real time.
