The evolution of mobile slot games

January 10, 2020 Posted by Andrei Kuznetsov Editorial No Comments

Online casino slots and mobile devices look like a match made in heaven. Most of those who enjoy these games over the Internet do it on smartphones and tablets, rather than desktop and laptop computers. They are perfectly suited for the smaller displays of handheld gadgets and their simple gameplay is ideal for casual players. Statistically, most of the recreational gamblers play on mobile, so it is no coincidence that all major software developers produce slots that are mobile friendly.

Apple’s role in the rise of mobile gambling

The first live site like Conquer online casino Canada was founded in 1994 when it secured a license from the authorities of Antigua and Barbuda. Over the years, more and more gambling operators were founded, offering new games that included a high number of slots. Mobile phones were already popular and used worldwide, but they simply didn’t have the processing power and displays needed for gambling. While mobile games were available on these gadgets, the first slots were ushered in by the arrival of the iPhone. Apple changed the rules of the game and provided the perfect environment for online gambling to thrive.

As consumers were given the chance to use the latest technology not only for communication, but also entertainment, online casinos were quick to react. Third-party apps could be acquired from the Apple Store and later on from Google’s online marketplace. Microgaming, Playtech and Net Entertainment among other software developers started to invest massively in their mobile divisions. They were the pioneers in this line of work and today they are some of the most important producers of mobile slots.

Powerful smartphones drive mobile gambling

Modern slots offer players visuals and sound effects that are comparable to those that were previously available only in video games. Players can enjoy them on smartphones and tablets because the latest devices are packed with processing power. Online casinos are hard-pressed to come up with ever more beautiful slots and original gameplay to thrive in a highly competitive industry. The sheer quality of modern devices made it possible for casinos to develop ever better slots for mobile. Fluid animations, complex bonus games and immersive sound effects are now to be expected when playing slots online.

Mobile devices have even surpassed Flash-based casinos and slots are the most popular games to be played on these gadgets. Live dealer table games can now be played on the move and players can use the same apps to access different genres. A real money account is needed, but players can enjoy the best slots for free once they register with an online casino. They qualify for all the promotions available and every now and then are eligible for exclusive bonuses for mobile devices. Virtual reality will become the next disruptive technology for online gambling, but it is likely to accelerate the mobile gambling revolution.
