Mobile Phones And Gambling [.co.uk]

икониикониonline poker newsIf you are a fan of IGT’s Cleopatra slot and have an iPhone then chances are you might be interested in IGT’s very own Cleopatra app. It’s an exact replica of the casino slot game you can find both in land-based casinos and online and is available from the iTunes store.

For those that aren’t familiar with the game, then you can watch a video of Cleopatra complete with the free spins bonus feature on the IGT slots website. It’s a very popular game in UK casinos – I play it myself at Empire in Leicester Sq. and Rendezvous down in Brighton although the versions in both those casinos have lower RTP’s than the online version (easily spotted as they don’t pay out on 2 nines).

If you want to play IGT’s Cleopatra slots on your PC or MAC without the need to register, head on over to the Cleopatra slots pages at OnlineCasinosVegas where you can load them up and play for fun.

Actually there re quite a number of slot games available for mobile phones using either iOS or Android now – I’ll see if I can dig out some other gems and post them here at Moble Phones & Gambling in the not dstant future.

As for the casino itself, there is a full list of compatible phones accessible through the top menu on the [Royal Vegas Mobile Casino] website – basically any phone that is java-compatible, which these days covers most. Games choice is a little limited, but then this is relatively new technology, but there is still a reasonable choice.

As I write, the games include Blackjack, roulette, video poker, keno, bacarrat, 3-card poker, scratchcard (yawn!) and a few decent slots. The latter includes the excellent Tomb Raider game.

[Wild Jack Mobile Casino] which runs using Microgaming software developed in association with Spin3 have announced the launch of a new game – 3-Card Poker – and the upgrade to a $3,000 Welcome Bonus for new players.

PRESS RELEASE (May 1st 2008): 

[Wild Jack Mobile Casino] (WJMC), offers mobile casino gaming excitement on the award winning Spin3 and Microgaming mobile casino software. Spin3 and Microgaming were awarded the best mobile gambling system in both 2006 and 2007 at the Mobile Entertainment Awards.WJMC supports over 850 of the world’s most popular WAP/Internet enabled phone models. All transactions, including banking, take place over mobile handsets, so casino players can hit the tables right away, any time, any place. Players can choose from 13 exciting games, including Roulette, Blackjack and Video Poker, along with a number of popular slot games.

Many of you, especially footie fans, will be familiar with the name 32Red. They run a very popular and highly regarded online casino and poker room, and have now expanded the product range with the launch of the 32Red Mobile for mobile phones (unsurprisingly!).

The mobile phone casino industry is still in it’s infancy, but the software here – developed by Spin3 in association with Microgaming – is very good…I’d argue it’s the best out there. Sure games choice is a little limited right now but there are still some decent games: Blakjack, Roulette, Keno and some of the more popular video slots like Tombraider and the 6-figure progressive slots, Major Millions and Treasure Nile.

The good thing about this particular offering however, aside from being available on a very wide range of handsets, is the name behind it. 32Red (PLC) have Read the rest of this entry »

One of the more recent additions to the Microgaming mobile casino games range available at both [Ladbrokes Mobile Casino] and [Wild Jack Mobile Casino] is a port of the excellent, and popular, Tombraider slot. The slot was first launched in late 2005 onto the PC download casino software at the above casinos, followed soon after by integration into the Flash no-download casino and quickly became very popular.

The slot itself is a 5-reel, 15-line “bonus” slot with two types of bonus round. The first is a “pick ‘em” style bonus where the player is required Read the rest of this entry »
