Jackpot247 comments on potential explosion of mobile gaming in 2014
12 Feb 2014
Industry experts are reportedly predicting a massive rise in mobile gambling in 2014, with many casinos embracing new payment methods and app developers taking advantage of the increasing popularity of gambling on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. According to a story from 777.com, Canadian entrepreneur and industry expert Calvin Ayre has predicted that growing smartphone ownership will fuel the development of more mobile gambling apps.
He said: “As existing hurdles facing mobile deposits and withdrawals are lowered, gambling on the go will increasingly become the default option for bettors.”
There have been many changes taking place in the industry that supports these forecasts, such as the increasing acceptance of Bitcoin currency – with two Las Vegas casinos agreeing to accept Bitcoin earlier this year – and 3D gaming technology also improving.
Jackpot247, online gambling specialists providing casino games and mobile gaming, has commented on these positive predictions for the mobile gaming sector, supporting the increasing integration of mobile and online gambling ideas in the world of land-based casinos. A spokesperson for the company said:
“Online gambling has been around for a relatively long time but, with mobile gaming now entering the arena, too, it’s becoming increasingly important for land-based casinos to embrace the changes in order to remain relevant in a changing industry. With mobile gambling predicted to explode in popularity this year, it’s encouraging to see certain casinos start to accept virtual currency, and this illustrates that land-based establishments, online casinos and mobile gambling can all potentially coexist going into the future.”
