Mobile casino games. Part one.

Nowadays hardly anybody will be surprised at online games. But the technology forges ahead, now you can play not only at home, but almost in any point of the world. I am talking about mobile casino games. Everybody has a mobile phone (smartphone, PDA, Palmtop Computers), the coverage is increasing, so the possibilities for playing are impressive. Let us have a look what mobile casinos and mobile poker rooms offer us.

Mobile casinos entered the market of mobile games earlier, therefore, there is much more variety here now. Mobile casino games are offered by gambling technology specialists Spin3 (a company that is associated with major casino games software provider “Microgaming”), as well as “Play Tech”. So far only a limited number of online casinos with the software of these companies offer mobile casino games, but their number is gradually growing. There are a number of mobile casinos with their proprietary software affiliated to large online gaming companies, as well as independent mobile casinos. It should be stated at once that it is better to play in mobile casinos, which are represented by famous and well known online casinos: it is more reputable, more convenient, more depositing and winning withdrawal options, reliable customer support etc.

Starting to play mobile casino games a player has to open an account in a corresponding online casino. Sometimes it is possible to do it through a mobile phone, but it is more convenient to do it through a computer, the internet and mobile account are the same as a rule. The majority of deposit methods, in particular, all the electronic payment systems, will also work only through a computer client, though, the player can make a deposit from a card directly by means of a mobile phone. Downloading your favourite casino games on a mobile it is also convenient to have a computer at hand – complete a special registration form on the casino web site, enter your phone number, select a country and a game and receive an SMS- message on your phone with the direct link for downloading. Again, in principle, it is possible to open a WAP version of the casino using the mobile and download games directly from there, but it is less convenient. In contrast to an online casino where you can download the whole package of games, games are downloaded here one by one, and the choice is not so wide, approximately ten games: black jack, baccarat, roulette, video poker, keno and various slots. The games are not very big, about 200-300 Kb. It is not difficult to guess that there are certain requirements for your mobile phone. As a matter of fact the majority of contemporary phones meet the mobile casinos requirements. On the sites of mobile casinos it is possible to check whether they will work on your phone.

The game is downloaded, you have a login and a password, the money is on the account and you can start playing. I will only make a remark that for safety purposes in contrast to online casino in mobile phones it is impossible to record the password, therefore, if you lose a phone, casino money will not be lost.

Mobile casinos: Microgaming/Spin3 software.

The Company Microgaming is a leading supplier of software for online casinos, the largest company in terms of the number of casino players, games etc., really a very respected and valued by gamers all over the world. Spin3 is the name of a Microgaming mobile casino subdivision, i.e. the subsidiary, specializing in mobile casino games for cell phones. Up to the present moment Spin3 has more than ten mobile casino clients – these are both – a casino, using the Microgaming software and providers of mobile content. Obviously, it is worth to gamble mobile casino games affiliated with respectful online casinos.

Personally I have made my first attempt at Ladbrokes mobile casino version – a very famous English bookmaker, also working online actively. I did not have to register at the casino, I just used my old login and password, but generally the registration is held on their web-site, after which you may use one and the same login for betting at bookmaker, and wagering their casino and poker games. I must admit that Ladbrokes casino is a very convenient from the point of view of funds – they return the deposited money, including winnings to your registered credit card. The mobile casino offers a very generous casino bonus with low requirements (the same casino bonus is effective in the online casino version as in the mobile casino).

I started playing with video poker, which is the standard “Jack or better” with a normal payment table 6/9. I must say that the game was rather plain, at the beginning I was a little in the black and then started to get down. In the game I received 23 doubles, 12 times – 2 pairs, 4 treys, 2 streets and 1 full-house. If to compare this with the theory, perhaps, this is very close, just a little less treys, but not that critical. On redoubling there were 12 won and 11 lost, which is actually ideal. The total loss made USD 10.5 at the stake of USD 0.5 (the range of stakes from USD 0.25 to USD 25), i.e. -20%, which was not that pleasant. But immediately after 100 hands I made several stakes for USD 1 each and almost after I received a full, that is why my loss decreased to USD 3. On the whole, the results were not successful, but there also no crucial too.

The second mobile casino game, accordingly, was the blackjack, which Microgaming calls “classical” – the European blackjack (the dealer does not check the blackjack, the player may draw to split aces). The game was again very plain, namely, maximum losses at a time were only four, winnings were five, I was fluctuating in the black and in the hole, but as the result I won USD 5 at the stake of USD 2 (alack, this is the minimum stake). Such winnings appeared due to the great amount of blackjacks – there were nine! So, there were 45 winnings, 51 losses, 4 even outs, doublings 5 won 4 lost.

The gain speaks about the fact that the game is hardly twisted against the player, there was help with the blackjacks, 4 even outs less than the norm, but they have proportionally dispensed between gains and losses, generally – it is Ok.

In fact, in comparison with the other casinos, this was the most unsuccessful casino game, but nevertheless I almost broke even. I don’t have any claims to the honesty. But I can remind of a great advantage of Ladbrokes i.e. winnings withdrawal of any amounts to the credit card. I must also say that the Spin3 software mobile casino has very nice graphics and the most convenient interface – operating is possible with the joystick and with the keys on a digital keyboard. There is no need in pressing the key after each dealing, especially if you don’t change the amount of the bet. The game speed is normal, I spent about half an hour for 100 hands in every game. The total traffic during the game made about 300 Kb.

Except for the two abovementioned mobile games Spin3 offers a few more, they may be loaded from the online casino website.

So, in my opinion Spin3 developed a good mobile casino platform for wagering on the go – nice graphics, perfect interface, fair casino games. There are several different casinos to choose from. I would repeat that the software in different casinos will be the same, that is why you should make your choice according to additional parameters – depositing and winnings withdrawal options, mobile casino bonuses, customer support etc. Personally I would recommend mobile casinos with this software!
