- Monday, 5 Jun 2006
The latest attempt to bring gambling to new players is mobile gambling. The new platform is predicted to reach millions in the next few years, and industry analysts are already estimating huge revenues by 2009. Mobile gambling gives casino players the opportunity to play anywhere, which is useful if they are located in states where online gambling is prohibited.
While mobile gambling has been available to European casino players for almost two years now, its popularity is now starting to climb in the U.S. and is fast becoming attractive for those already gambling online or at live casinos. A casino fan can simply pick up his cell phone, download a game and enjoy gambling on casino games or sports betting action.
Some sources have already predicted that Americans will have spent an estimated twenty billion dollars on mobile gambling alone by 2009. Its popularity has been attributed to the fact that most people own personal cell phones, which makes accessing casino games via mobile gambling simple. Currently most platforms only offer slot machine games and a few varieties of poker, but new games are already being prepared for their transition from the computer screen to the cell phone.
