By J. Phillip Vogel

While it sounds like a tired cliché, it ultimately holds true: We live in a mobile world. Given that you can get scores, stocks, news and mail delivered electronically almost anywhere today, it's not surprising that the online gaming industry was keen to get their chips in the game. Enter Bodog.

With the recent launch of their new mobile Blackjack, the online gaming giant has effectively taken the casino action of Las Vegas and put it, quite literally, into your pocket.

"Innovation and creativity have been defining factors in the evolution of Bodog and its products, and it's those factors that make Bodog unlike any other online gaming site," says Morris Mohawk Gaming Group CEO Alwyn Morris. "The release of Bodog Mobile is another step forward in Bodog's ongoing evolution and dedication to offering its players the most enjoyable online and mobile gaming experience possible."

Bodog Mobile lets players take their favorite casino games with them on their BlackBerry® smartphone, cellular phone or PDA, putting the action right in the palm of their hands. Bet on black on your lunch break. Go all-in while you're waiting for your flight. Double down on the train ride to work. It's that easy. Plus, with the option to play both for fun as well as for real money, players can test their luck for free or play to win real cash. In short, the quintessential "place to be" for online gaming is now anywhere you are, any time.

To assure accuracy, the random number generator used by Bodog Mobile has been thoroughly tested and certified by both Technical Systems Testing and Gaming Associates to guarantee players the safest and most secure online and mobile gaming experience possible.

Beyond the gameplay, Bodog has always provided its players a chance to taste the good life, whether that's giving away amazing prizes, awarding huge jackpots or flying poker players down to Vegas VIP-style to play for millions at the WSOP.

The key to their success, however, is their dedication to quality customer service. A rigorously trained staff is on hand to answer all queries and ensure a positive wagering experience. In addition, Bodog makes it easy for players to request information, services and support 24 hours a day, everyday. Bodog's players are never more than a mouse click or a phone call away. And now, with Bodog Mobile, your favorite online games are always at your fingertips. Literally.

It has been said that everything is bigger in Texas. If you don't believe it, just ask 55-year-old "Howard" of Houston, Texas, who recently hit big on Bodog Casino's "Victory" slot. Howard struck it rich when he landed four "captains" and a "ship"— the equivalent of five captains—earning a cool $50,000. Not bad, but Howard's win was a like perfect storm of luck, since he just happened to be playing on a free spin. While playing on a free spin on a "Victory" slot, having a ship multiplies any win by four times. That meant that Howard hit an impressive $200,000 jackpot—all from the comfort of his bed while watching baseball.

According to Bodog's entertainment blog, Bodog Beat, Howard said that he'd been playing in the Bodog Casino for several years. He recounted his moment of victory, saying, "It just happened pretty fast. I barely reacted. I just saw all those dollars start to pile up there really fast. It was pretty amazing." He added. "It kind of got my blood pressure to rise a little bit. I'm 55 years old, so I can't get too excited."

Howard isn't the only lucky Bodog Casino player to strike it big in recent months. In May, Florida resident "Joseph" hit the "Let 'Em Ride" monster hand, a royal flush, cashing in on the progressive jackpot worth $186,704

"I said to my wife 'I just won the whole thing!' It was great because when you hit a payout that amount blinks and then shifts back to the total progressive.

"So I was playing and it came up Ah, Qh and 10h. I've got to let this ride because there were a lot of options. Up comes the Kh and I'm thinking, 'OK, you know. Why not?' I hit the button and then it flipped over the Jh. My eyes got like silver dollars and it was blinking $186,706.44 right at me. And we happened to have $12 total (4X3) riding on it, so there was another 12 at 1,000/1 odds. It was unbelievable."

In March, "Richard" of South Carolina took down two huge wins, including $115,219 in Caribbean Stud poker and $17,438 in Tri-Card poker, earning him a total payday worth $132,657.

But Bodog's biggest casino jackpot winner of 2008, "Thomas" of California, hit the mother load in February, cashing in on the "Food Fight" progressive jackpot slot earning him a staggering $473,595.

Great games, huge jackpots, and fast-paced casino action from the comfort of home. For more than a decade, Bodog has been defined as the place to go for online gaming, and now with their new mobile casino, it's taking that place to you.
