Gambling shows up in the history of most countries at some stage or another. Human beings have been participating in games against which they can pit their wits, intellect and skills for centuries, and gambling has been evolving and growing throughout the ages.
When casinos first were established, the experience of visiting an establishment where you could enjoy a few of your favourite casino games coupled with food, drinks and entertainment was a novelty to which many people subscribed. As time went by however, and the modern day hectic pace of life was established, fewer and fewer people could afford to make the time to make a trip to a land based casino – not only because of the time aspect, but for some, their closest casino was too far away geographically to make a special trip. Faced with that problem, casino companies came up with the solution to go online.
When the internet was born, it opened up a world of endless possibilities for most people and casino companies took advantage of this by negating the location and time problem, and brought their games right onto the populations doorstep by establishing online casinos. Players could now enjoy a game of blackjack or poker, or whatever took their fancy, at home, provided they had a PC and an internet connection.
Moving to Smartphones
The introduction of the smartphone into mainstream society however, brought with it an even more significant change. What was previously unobtainable to many people, became commonplace relatively overnight, with smartphones being available to every demographic of person and in every earning bracket.
Some more elaborate than others, but each one a mini-computer with access to the internet for its owner. This opened up a massive new target market for the casino companies, as they were now able to reach this vastly increased audience. To take advantage of this, casino companies quickly began to take their online sites mobile, enabling users to access their favourite mobile real money slots on their handheld devices.
Improved Internet Access
Faster and better internet speeds coupled with wi-fi being widely available have sent the popularity of mobile gaming off the charts. The convenience and ease with which you can now play is chalk and cheese compared to the first land based casinos. Mobile casinos offer the flexibility of playing a game whilst engaging in other activities like having a doctor’s appointment, but squeezing in a couple of games while you are in the waiting room, meaning that you no longer need to wait until you are at your PC, and have an internet connection.
Technology is improving and increasing in leaps and bounds every day, and the casino companies have been careful to stay on top of this. By constantly updating and improving their software, they have ensured that their users have the best quality games and apps at their fingertips at all times. To encourage their wider audiences to play, mobile casinos very often offer bonuses and special deals in order to entice players and because the competition is so fierce, players can be assured that only the very best apps and games are on offer at all times.
The convenience of payment methods is another way casino companies are ensuring that they stay on top of technology as safe payment methods are constantly being updated, and simplified to make sure that your mobile casino experience is seamless.
