Published by admin on January 18, 2012

With the proliferation of smartphones out there, it was just a matter of time before the creators of online casinos made the jump to the mobile platforms. iPhones, iPads, Androids and even Blackberries and other mobile devices are now able to play different gambling games like slots, keno, blackjack, roulette and more!

The are quite a few mobile casino gambling sites that have appeared in the past year. The majority of these online casinos use the same mobile software. It is provided by Microgaming and is called Spin 3. This software has been created to be compatible with a wide range of mobile devices. However, some of these casinos have taken it one step further and now provide apps for download in the AppStore and the Android Market.

The mobile gaming platform provided by Spin 3 currently offers a total of 20 mobile games. However, many of the more popular Microgaming casino games are currently being developed to be compatible for the iPhone and other mobile devices. The current games include 15 of the most popular slots and parlor games offered at Microgaming such as Tomb Raider, Major Millions and Keno. There is also 5 traditional casino games to play: Blackjack, 3 Card Poker, Roulette, Baccarat and Jacks or Better Video Poker.

Are there any different mobile casinos?

Since this is a relatively new niche, there isn’t a whole lot of competition. There are a couple of other mobile casino options if you have already seen or played the Microgaming mobile games.

Playtech – This is one of Microgaming’s major rivals. If Microgaming does something new, it won’t be long before Playtech catches up. The online casinos that use Playtech have not adopted mobile gaming as fast as Microgaming casinos have. There are a couple of Playtech casinos that offer games for your cell phone.

Basically, Playtech is only a little bit behind. They have fewer games offered (16) and you still need to download the software from the particular online casino’s mobile site. The mobile games that have been developed are the most popular ones like Blackjack, European Roulette, Baccarat and the rest are slots and parlor games.

mFortune – This is the first place that is strictly a mobile casino. They do not cater to nor do they offer software for PCs. mFortune is also strictly offered to people that reside within the UK. They currently offer a choice of 10 mobile casino games as well as several mobile bingo rooms. The games include a mobile fruit machine, 4 themed slots, blackjack, European roulette, 2 poker games and a Greyhound Racing game.

Is there any mobile game that can be played in the US?

Yes, there is one that is available for you to play. Take a look at Slotland Mobile. They do not offer any traditional casino games like blackjack; however, they do offer a choice of 6 different mobile slots and video poker games. Slotland is in the process of developing more of their 23 slots and video poker games for use with mobile devices.
