In this latest entry in our ongoing look at casino and gambling technology, we take a look at some of the best mobile casino apps.

Traditionally, visiting a casino for the average person was something that would be done on rare occasions and typically as part of a group. This was namely because, back in the day, land-based casinos were not the most accessible places for the general public and were perceived as part of an expensive pastime, more aptly suited to the rich or famous. The birth of the internet and rise of online casino and gaming sites changed all this as popular casino games and slot machines were suddenly available to everyone, with no restrictions in terms of social status, state of dress, or cash. Skip forward to today and with the unbelievable advancements in mobile technology, associated services, innovative gaming products, and consumer attitudes, the industry is seeing a meteoric rise in mobile usage and apps downloaded.

The online casino industry has never been one to shy away from new technology, and as a result, all established and serious casino brands have mobile apps which are available to all their players. There are literally 1000s of mobile casino apps to choose from, so we have put together a list that is reputable, reliable, and covers everyone’s tastes.

POP! Slots

What POP! Slots does particularly well is that it combines two great casino elements. The first being slot games, and, the second,  social interaction. The app provides players with the chance to play some of the top slot games, synonymous with the ones found at some of Las Vegas’ finest establishments and they get to do this alongside their friends, which only adds to the enjoyment. Despite the game being free to play, players can still win real rewards.

mFortune

When it comes to playing casino games on your phone, mFortune’s mobile casino certainly has you covered. They are the market leaders in the industry, and are renowned for pumping out amazing apps on a regular basis, which always seem to get better. While it’s hard to single out one game app in particular, as they have too many that impress, their European Roulette, Blackjack, and Texas Hold’em offerings are always safe bets. They also really deliver when it comes to slots too, making their own from scratch, so make sure to check a few out, particularly Reel Fruity Slots and mFruity.

Zynga Poker

Zynga Poker is a quality poker app which is intuitive and filled with exciting features. As a result, it comes as no surprise that it was created by one of the biggest names in its field. Some people want to enjoy poker for fun rather than play for real cash and Zynga certainly brings authenticity to its free to play app. There’s plenty of game modes, including Texas Hold ‘Em and Sit-n-Go tournaments. What’s more, players can go head-to-head against their real life friends, while competing against strangers too. There’s a great community feel to an app that’s designed to encourage friends to play together, and with up to $3 million worth of chips to win every day, it is the perfect place for poker devotees — experienced or novice..

Big Fish Casino

Big Fish Casino is another free to play app and in many eyes is the best out there. With over 50,000,000 downloads and counting, it’s certainly one of the most popular. It offers players the chance to enjoy playing slot games, blackjack, poker, and roulette both alongside and against friends. You can even go as far as setting up your own clubs. And with huge jackpots to win, it’s a must download for mobile casino enthusiasts.

Bingo Blitz

Bingo may not strictly be a regular casino game, but it does include slots games, and it’s certainly a very popular form of entertainment for a lot of people. Bingo Blitz is great for people who not only enjoy bingo, but slot games too. Perhaps its greatest feature is that it offers a truly great multiplayer option. It allows you to play with friends you already know, or have the chance to meet new ones along the way. There is also a VIP club that gives players that bit extra, should they wish to indulge.

Our list above highlights some of the best and most popular mobile casino apps around, but more importantly, it helps highlight the huge range of apps that are available. Anyone, from an experienced casino player to a true novice, will be able to find several apps that are well suited to their needs and even some to appeal to their inquisitive nature.
