Mobile Gaming Continues to Grow

Believe it or not but mobile was slower to take off in the gambling sector than many had predicted as many of the early gaming aps delivering very little in the way of unique usability or brand identity.  Choice was poor and let’s face it the experience of playing on your mobile was pretty poor and it was no wonder that there were no great numbers rushing to play on their phones or tablets.

Mobile gambling was tipped to take off several times over the past decade but it wasn't really until the launch of the iPhone back in 2007 that operators such as Paddy Power Casino amongst others began to take advantage of the channel with revenues and new users multiplying through their mobile operations.

Now you can find excellent mobile casinos with some unique games, bonuses and promotions up for grabs, and with the broad availability of 4G, Wi-Fi connectivity and sophisticated large screen smartphones and tablets coming down in price the opportunity is open to more of the general public to access their favourite games through their mobile devices.

Over the last couple of years or so the growth of having a bet or wager using a mobile device has grown beyond many expectations with some betting operators reporting up to a 150% growth in their own mobile gambling services in just the last twelve months.  In fact, Paddy Power has announced up to a 50% increase on their sportsbook turnover from punters using mobile devices. 

This growth has surprised some in the mobile betting and casino industry and with certain US states set to regulate the use of mobile casinos the growth of remote real money gaming services is sure to increase even more.

Along with the advancement of the mobile devices goes the advancement of online apps and games, in fact many good quality online casinos offer free games to play besides free money to play with for simply signing up with the site.

Software developers have certainly stepped to the mark and now provide an enormous collection of mobile games.  These developers include names like Playtech, Gamesys, and Cryptologic amongst others and games include classic casino games, plus excellent slots games like Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk and other great offering such as Texas Hold’em.

In order to enjoy those free games check out the site you are browsing for the ‘play for fun’ section Once you have hit the play for fun you will not have to use any money at all, of course you will not win anything either!  Playing for fun is a great way of learning just how to play a new game, then it’s up to you whether you do wager some of your own cash.  Remember that bonus money is often offered and quite a few casinos allow you to keep any winnings that you may have, although some to cap the winning limit so be sure about how much you can keep if you win using the no-deposit bonus.
