The day is rapidly approaching when you may be sitting in a boring staff meeting or waiting on a train platform for your sweetheart to arrive, and win a couple of bucks in real money playing in an online casino on your iPhone or other “smartphone.” The mobile gaming sector is pushing hard for the day to get here as quickly as possible, and it is rapidly becoming reality.
A recent study by Juniper Research estimates that mobile online gambling will be a $48 billion industry through the year 2015, with players enjoying lotteries, parimutuel betting, as well as the standard casino games like slots and blackjack. The mobile phone is the perfect device for online betting, however within the US, users must use various work-arounds to use them successfully while legislation clarifying the legality of online betting churns its way through Congress.
One possibly enormous player on this planet of mobile web gaming may be state lotteries in the US. Selling official lottery tickets over-the-counter just isn’t always easy, and lots of people are embarrassed to buy them. But buying them online is a more private transaction that more people find appealing. Adding apps for buying lottery tickets to mobile devices is likely to draw millions of customers. The technology already exists, and is in wide use in the UK as well as other countries.
Some internet casinos are choosing to pay attention to mobile phone users more than on other online gamblers. Surveys have shown that online bettors use their mobile devices in large numbers, and those numbers are just expected to rise over the next couple of years. If legal issues in the US are resolved, they will likely rise even more dramatically as people go online with their smartphones to play slots, poker, as well as other games. Adapting online gaming for smartphones involves fitting the whole site onto the screen in order that players are able to see the whole page at one time while they may be playing.
Internet gambling is, as expected, the most popular on the very best selling smart phones, for example the iPhone, the iPad, and also the iPhone Touch. Nokia has recently come out with four new models which make it easy for players to visit web casinos or place online sports wagers. These devices run on the Symbian operating system, which has a reputation for fast connections, making them potentially more appealing to online gamblers.
The worlds of smart mobile devices and web-based casinos are merging as lots of folks decide to access the net with their mobile phones when they don’t have their computer or netbook handy (or do not have a WiFi signal). Web casinos are reaching out to these devices in hopes of making the experience as entertaining as possible of such users.
