With mobile Internet technology developing at a rapid rate, online casino software developers are working round the clock to continue to design and release some of the most graphically advanced and smooth running real money games, compatible with all smartphones and tablets.
Instead of dedicated market/native applications available for download via the App Store or Google Play, gaming software producers are opting to make their new games available for access directly via mobile and tablet Web browsers. Here are three of the main reasons behind this strategy:
1. Due to tight rules and regulations surrounding real money interactive gambling apps being released on application distributing platforms such as Android’s Google Play and Apple’s App Store, designers and operators (the companies which host the casino titles) prefer to release mobile games through mobile browser websites (often called ‘instant play’ games).
For example, regulated and licensed online casinos such as Leo Vegas Casino and G’day Casino have their own ‘instant play’ fully-fledged mobile browser websites which host hundreds of top quality casino games, such as pokies, blackjack and roulette. You can legally and safely use your home currency to enjoy these titles.
2. HTML5 formatting has fast become the most advanced technology to utilise to develop graphically-rich, visually engaging and audio-rich casino games for mobile and tablet Web browsers. This formatting allows designers to create ‘instant play’ games, which require no installations, are interactive and run efficiently.
3. Rather than build specific games for specific operating systems (native apps), mobile casino software producers and operators see the benefit in creating games which are not designed for any one particular OS. HTML5 casino interfaces and titles are compatible with the Web browsers of all smartphone and tablets, and even some older data-enabled phones using WAP technology and Symbian operating systems.
This helps to market games to a much larger consumer base, instead of having to produce two separate designs at the bare minimum, for the two most popular operating systems within the mobile industry (iOS and Android).
