Mobile and Online casinos

[Icymod]

Hey there, this is Icymod (not Nightingale as Katemak claimed, he`s on vacation in Barbados so HA!), just wondering what everyone thinks about gaming on mobile and going through clicks on the computer. Is it better using a phone? Are wins and bonuses better? I`ve always used a computer and have gone through all the schematics and such but to all the people who have used there mobile to play slots can you put your input, opinions and everything you`ve experienced on here. I`ve done little on mobile but never hardcore about it so I wanna know! Throw everything you got! If anyone is confused, ask yourself, is mobile better than using your desktop?

 

And as always........No Lucianas and Valdes (I`m serious about the first but for Valdes I`m joking, please don`t laugh by giving me a warning point or ban me in the corner for a set duration ie 2 weeks) 

 

 Thanks to all for their responses!!!

I was the first one who busted your double identity, being disguised in Nightingale

 

Anyways, I never tried playing slots for real, through mobile. I barely do it on desktop

But when I become a serious gamblers, that won't change, because phone screen is to small for my taste.

There are some casinos offering special bonuses for players that use only mobile or tablet..to attract them.

 

For example this one (not sure if it's still valid, but it should be) - http://www.askgamblers.com/bonus/welcome/10bet-casino-exclusive-150percent-up-to-eur300-mobile-slots-welcome-bonus/

 

Also, Slotastic is often offering free spins on new mobile games

Generally speaking, I think mobile casinos are still miles away from the typical online casino in terms of graphics, functionality and game variety. Plenty of reasons to explain why Guru definitely prefers the classic online casino version.

 To contribute from a Casino's perspective to this conversation I will just say that (depending on the offer) 30 - 40% of all play is done on mobile devices, tablets included. Same goes for RodeoPoker.

 

So... yeah... It's a close call which is better if you ask the players

Heeeey Vedran

 

I somehow lost the link to our exclusive bonus, can you resend, so I can publish it?

Ohh, that's precious input, thank you!

 

To be honest, I'm quite surprised to know that such a big percentage of all play is done from mobile devices?! Was expecting 20-25% at the most, but 40... Do you have and idea what could be the reason for that?

Here it is!

It's probably because players can access mobiles easier than they can computers. Imagine being bored at a bus station or at work for that matter but you don't want to use your official computer. Just open up the games on your phone and play. 

 

Or you just wanna be comfy in your sofa and use your tablet instead of sitting at your desk at home... It's the future I am telling you

[RodeoPoker1]

Oh, and one more precious input for you Valdes. Iphone users are more likely to play for real money than the Android users are, as iOS acustomed users to pay for all sorts of services on their phones. 

 

But Android users overwhelme with 7:1 the iPhone users.

Now that's what I call a precious input! Thank you!

 

However, there's something that bothers me all the time. As far as I remember, everyone is talking about the revolution which was supposed to happen any minute with the development of the mobile technologies and yet, it never came. Think about it, everyone was talking mobile casinos will literally replace the classic casino version in the last 2-3 years, but that never happened. Do you think there's specific reason for that or it's just connected with the still persisting limitations of mobile versus classic casino version?

[RodeoPoker1]

The most optimistic prediction I have heard was a year ago that soon it will be like 50% played on mobile and this is getting pretty close. This also includes betting as probably the biggest segment for mobiles as it is the most practical way to bet live for example and watch the game on TV.

 

So 50% IS the revolution you are talking about and its darn impressive I must say.

 

I don't think one can replace the other the same way people still gamble in live casinos. Land based gambling industry is stronger than ever even though we have so much online now. 

 

When you think about the whole big predictions it is more likely that they are jumping too much ahead with this mobile revolution as I feel that classic online casino gambling is yet to have it's real boom! Sure, it is already a multi billion industry but it is nothing compared to what it will become in the next ten years.

 

Mobile is just going to be a very big segment of online casino as the limitiations will always be present in regards to the size of the screen and overal emersion in the game.

 

Last year on ICE in London I had a chance to sit in some kind of a space shaped capsule made by a German company which blew my mind. HD screen with BOSE speakers inside, total privacy and just an awesome experience. So how can this compare to playing on your phone? My answer is very hard...
