Advancements in Mobile Gaming

Online gaming is an industry that has experienced a steady rise in penetration and profitability over the course of its fifteen years in existence. The advancements in communication technology are constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible to accomplish using a mobile phone.

Mobile phones started their journey as a device of convenience that allowed people on the move to make phone calls without the use of a landline. Very quickly they evolved to allow text messaging and emailing.

The devices themselves got smaller and smaller and companies started developing special operating systems for mobile phones that would allow playing music, taking pictures, viewing pictures and offer gamers inbuilt games.

In additions software companies started developing applications that allowed players to download games using their phone's inbuilt internet capabilities. These internet capabilities will later be used to allow online gaming among mobile phone users.

Over the course of the last few years mobile phone components were getting smaller to allow bigger screens and the ever-growing shift towards touch-screen phones have created small mobile phones that allow for fast internet browsing and gaming.

These phones are known as smartphones and their market penetration is on a steady climb with more people switching their old mobile phones for smartphones that enable them to surf the net and play online games with great ease from any location and at any time.

When online casinos first burst into the scene in the late 1990's there was a great buzz over elaborate gaming software that required downloading and installation on to personal computers.

Nowadays the buzz is about the ability to take all that elaborate software and using Java and Flash technology enable anyone with a compatible mobile phone to enjoy playing gambling games using their favorite online casino software directly from their mobile phone.

With every month that passes we witness greater technological advancements that affect both the casino software and mobile phone. Together these advancements provide gamers with an exquisite gaming experience they can hold in the palm of their hand.
