Pressman Toy Corporation has announced that its licensing agreement with Red Hot Apps LLC, developer and distributor of Tri-Ominos for iPhone, has spawned an iPhone version of the popular, three-sided domino game, Tri-Ominos.

“Hugely popular worldwide, more than 5 million Tri-Ominos games have been sold in the U.S alone,” Pressman Toy Corporation says. “Now Tri-Ominos fans can take the fun everywhere they go with the iPhone version,” the company adds in a press release.

Upon downloading the game from the App Store and installing it on their devices, gamers select tiles and compete against the iPhone to match the numbers on the three-sided playing pieces, to become the first to accumulate a winning score of 200 points. Compatible with iPhone and iPod touch and requiring iPhone OS 3.0 or later, Tri-Ominos for iPhone is immediately available through the iTunes App Store for just $1.99.

“We’re thrilled that one of our popular classic games is coming of age with an iPhone app,” Jim Pressman, president of Pressman Toy Corp., said. “Playing Tri-Ominos on the iPhone is just as much fun as playing the traditional version at home – maybe even more so because you can play it whenever you want.”

Pressman Toy has also created titles and puzzles based on NBC’s The Office, Seinfeld, Hello Kitty, Ben 10, Pokémon, and Scooby-Doo!, as well as popular game shows Deal or No Deal, Who Wants to Be A Millionaire, Jeopardy! (including ESPN Jeopardy!) and Wheel of Fortune (including Disney Wheel of Fortune).
