All Slots Casino Goes Mobile

Friday, August 28th, 2009

Are you one of those people who are always on the go and don’t have time to sit down at a computer for online gambling? Good news! Now you can visit an online casino by using your cell phone and bet to your heart’s content wherever you are.

Spin3, a software designer that creates games for mobile phones, has partnered with Microgaming, one of the leading designers of online gambling software. As a result of the deal, Spin3 will provide a mobile version of All Slots Casino via the iPhone.

This is great news for anyone who has ever been stranded in an elevator and thought, If only I could play some roulette in here this wouldn’t be so bad. Stuck in a board meeting? Just take our your phone and play some online blackjack. Try not to do a victory dance when you beat the dealer, though. The other people in the meeting will stare. If you want, you can even go on Twitter at the same time. You can play online blackjack and then tweet “playing online blackjack in a board meeting” so everyone will know. Just don’t do that if someone else in the meeting is subscribed to your tweets.

In an industry that, like most industries that don’t have a dollar menu, is struggling, online casinos are looking for new ways to increase revenue. Going mobile increases access to All Slots Casino, which should pay big dividends. Do not be surprised if many other online casinos jump on this trend. There will, of course, be people who think it’s distasteful for the iPhone to allow gambling, but it shouldn’t hurt business any. Apple was able to survive the backlash from their baby-shaking application and injuring babies, at least after they have been born, is frowned upon by probably everyone on the planet. Online gambling isn’t nearly as controversial.

If you don’t have an iPhone (and not all of us are cool enough to), don’t worry. You can still gamble on All Slots Casino via your computer.

Time-strapped Players Gamble Online

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

A recent study by WMS Gaming learned that while frequenters of brick and mortar casinos tend to be older, the nation’s youth does most of their gambling online. Online gambling being the rage for young players isn’t really surprising, since younger people tend to be more technologically savvy anyway and grew up in the information age. The study said that the young players are flocking to online gambling primarily because they don’t have much free time. It is an age of multitasking, and taking the time to drive to a casino and devote hours of time to gambling isn’t popular among young players. Instead, they would rather save time by playing online poker on the computer while watching TV or playing online slots on their iPhone while riding the bus.

 The study said that gamblers live a more active and frenetic lifestyle than the general population, and thus have less free time. It also said that 92% of active gamblers have access to the internet, as opposed to 70% for the general population. There is a misconception that most gamblers are traditionalists that don’t like to learn new things, but the survey showed that most active gamblers happily embrace change, new technology, new tricks and tips, and want to learn as much about gambling as they can. In this age, much of that information is gained over the internet, and it seems that the gambling is being done over the web as well. This trend is good news for online gambling. As the old generation of gamblers gets older, some wonder whether the next generation, in an age where Rock Band and other hi-tech toys are immensely popular, would embrace gambling. It seems that gambling, which appears to be a rather low-tech form of entertainment in this age, is still exciting enough for young Americans.
