UK mobile gambling firm Million-2-1 has announced a deal with casino firm Rank to distribute some of its most popular gambling games for mobile phones.

They include Hi-5, Elvis Top 20 and Ooh Aah Dracula, with Rainbow Riches, Cleopatra, Monopoly and Cluedo to follow later in the year.

The games will be offered to Rank customers via its Blue Square and Mecca brands.

"Players will be familiar with many of these games from pubs, arcades, casinos, bingo clubs, betting shops and online casinos," says Million-2-1 boss Chris Sheffield.

"Bringing them to the mobile platform will make them so much more convenient - customers can participate wherever they are in the UK, whenever they want to. We are sure they will prove to be a massive success."

The games will be made available for hundreds of handsets, with full age verification built in. Existing Blue Square customers will be able to log in using their existing accounts.

"This partnership demonstrates our continued commitment to mobile gaming" says Simon Woolf, mobile product manager for Blue Square and Mecca Bingo. "The quality of these games provides the player with a streamlined first class experience."
