Concrete Software, a leading mobile software company, released its follow up hit to Aces Texas Hold’em™ for mobile phones with Aces Omaha – No Limit™. The new release was immediately noted, receiving an 8 out of 10 rating from What Cellphone Magazine for this months published issue. UK’s best-selling mobile phone buying guide previously made Aces Texas Hold’em – No Limit™ game, the game of the month and was thrilled with Aces Omaha™ calling it “A highly addictive game.”

Aces Omaha – No Limit™ is played very similarly to Texas Hold’em which has become extremely popular being shown on television all over the world. With Omaha each player has four cards and has to use two of the four with community cards to make a poker hand.

Aces Texas Hold’em, the poker game Concrete Software released in January, has been a big hit with the mobile phone market. Early in February the new Palm version was released and has shot to the top of the Palm Casino list, holding steady as the number one best selling casino game for Palm.

With all the hype and excitement around the Palm release, Concrete Software promises the next version to bring even more poker excitement using all the feedback they’ve received from their customers.
