It's always useful to bump up popular tips once now and then - like BlackBerry FAQ entries, or the mobile.blackberry.com website. Making them "Featured Tips" once now and then to make sure more users see them  | | Offline

Sure, that's exactly where I downloaded it from.
As soon as I launch it I get a message telling me it's a trial version and it'll expire in x days. | | Offline

I have also heard of people that downloaded the regular version and downloaded the 2 version later, it installs over the first and they can never re-run the first.

When I get to the site, I see a "What's New" headline at the top. That paragraph tells me they want to give me some holiday goodies. The three options are "New games..." "Themes for..." and "Holiday Ringtones."
Clicking those links takes you to free stuff.
It looks like you're skipping all that stuff at the top of the main page and scrolling all the way down to the download link. | | Offline

I just went there. Texas Hold'Em King isn't a Magmic game, I think is your issue.
I didn't go to the Downloads link. Instead, the first link at the page is "New games for 3.8 and higher colour devices". When I click that, I get a Term & Conditions page, which I have to accept in order to proceed. And from there, I get to a GAMES page where Texas Hold'em King is the fourth option in the list, under MeteorCrusher, CirclePopper, and Rooster.
That's how I got it.

I don't understand why it's available to everyone else but doesn't appear for me.

I just came from downloading it again it is still there, I have a feeling that since it is in the 3.8 OS section that it is a question of operating systems and that it hides itself from ones you cannot use it with.
