Women Take to Texas Hold’em at mFortune Mobile Casino
mFortune has revealed that more women are playing Texas Hold’em Poker at its website and on its mobile app than ever before.
The casino operator, based in the UK, has announced that there has been a rise in the number of female players over the last year, with women making up almost a quarter of all poker players on the site.
The online and mobile casino believes the relative anonymity of playing online has helped encourage female players to take up the game.
In addition, online sites that host poker games tend to have a less testosterone driven atmosphere in comparison to land based casinos.
Prominent poker players who are women, including Victoria Coren – recent winner of the European Poker tour - and Liv Boeree, are also thought to have inspired female players to have a go online.
There are other contributing factors, including the home of poker moving from Las Vegas to the online community.
Additionally, with inequality between the sexes widespread across the UK, it has been suggested that poker online offers women a chance to compete on level playing field with men.
mFortune mobile casino provides a range of games for use on mobile devices, including poker, roulette, bingo, slots and blackjack. All games are compatible with Android and iOS, and are exclusive to mFortune.
Texas Hold’em Poker at mFortune welcomes new players with a £5 free bonus, subject to terms and conditions.
