Introduction

Mobile devices, like phones and tablets, are rapidly becoming the most common way that people all over the world access the internet. Online casino developers recognize this, so many of their games are available through fun and exciting mobile slots.

When online casinos first started out, they were only available on computers. You had to download special frontend software to place any bets. Many casinos still use this system, and sometimes it's the only way to access their full range of games. However, online casinos are really making a hard push to get as many games as possible available on mobile.

Gambling Basics for Mobile Phone Users

Slots are one of the easiest games to translate to mobile, so it’s not uncommon to see a casino’s full range of slots available through an app. It's also possible for players to access games through a mobile browser.

Supported Operating Systems

Mobile-friendly casinos that offer a smartphone slots app almost always support the “Big Two” mobile operating systems: Apple iOS and Google Android.

Some also support Windows phones and Blackberry devices, though the native casino app selection for these is more limited.

Online casinos will generally require you to have one of the newer versions of your operating system. You can see the latest releases for each operating system here:

However, most online casinos won't require you to have the absolute latest version of your device's operating system to run their app. They'll usually support at least a few previous versions prior to the most current release.

Downloading and Installing Casino Apps

Online casinos almost always make it very simple for you to install their app. Just connect to their website with your mobile device, and they'll have a mobile page that links you to a direct download of the slots app.

Mobile gaming has advantages and disadvantages, which mostly depend on the casino you're playing at.

Choosing the Best Online Casinos

App and mobile slot players enjoy the fierce competition between casinos. Due to the expanding market, casinos compete for business by offering special bonuses only available to mobile players. Some casinos even give additional bonuses to existing desktop players if they try out the app version!

Another big advantage is portability. Your phone is probably with you all throughout the day, and tablets are easy to carry or store away in luggage. With mobile casinos, you can play a quick slots game while relaxing on the commute home or even during break time at work.

Blacklisted Gambling Sites and Apps

The one big drawback is that some casinos haven't made all of their games available through their mobile app. This may be due to technical or licensing issues. From a tech perspective, slots are one of the easiest games to implement on a mobile app. You’ll find that many casinos now offer their full roster of slots games on both desktop and mobile.

One last thing to keep in mind: if the casino requires you to go through an online store to download their app (such as Apple's App Store or Google's Play Store), the app will likely not be available in regions where online gambling is illegal. This is a particular point of frustration for players in the United States, who are unable to access apps from major overseas casinos.

In-Browser Gameplay

However, some casinos work around this limitation by making games available through mobile web browsers. It is also possible to play through a mobile app if you are in the state of New Jersey; the state has authorized some Atlantic City casinos to make mobile apps available.

Online Security and Fair Play Rules

Mobile slots apps are subject to the same regulations as other forms of online gaming. If a casino is properly licensed and regulated, those terms will extend to their mobile games as well as their desktop offerings.

The three main things to look for in a reputable online casino are:

  • Government licensing and oversight (ideally a casino on the United Kingdom Whitelist)
  • Games created by a reputable software company (for example, NetEnt, IGT, Playtech, and Microgaming)
  • Third-party verification of the game's fairness (eCOGRA, Certified Fair Gambling, ESL Play)

 

Mobile Slots FAQs

What kind of slots are available through mobile apps?

You'll see a lot of the same video slots that are on brick-and-mortar casino floors, along with many others that are only available online. Since online casinos don't have limited physical space or machine operating costs to consider, they can host a huge range of different games. You might even see better odds at online versions of video slots that have complex cabinets in real life (such as Wheel of Fortune). Since casinos aren't spending money on electricity or upkeep of their cabinets, they can tie more machines together for progressive jackpots and bonus game features!

Do mobile slots track my behavior or winnings and tighten or loosen during play?

A properly regulated casino will not change the payout rate of mobile slots games as you are playing. There's really no need for a legitimate casino to do this, as the house always has an edge at slot games and will see some amount of profit over time, even with players hitting jackpots here and there.

How much data do mobile slots games use?

This can vary from game to game and casino to casino. Games that have fancier graphics and video clips (or lots of different audio clips) use more data than others. A good rule of thumb is to assume that any slot game you load will use at least 30 megabytes (MB) of your data. If you're on a capped or limited monthly data plan, it's a good idea to check how much data was used after playing each game for the first time.

There are so many mobile slot options. How do I choose?

Make no mistake: the house always has a significant edge when you play a slot machine. They're meant to be played for fun and the thrill of finally hitting that big jackpot rather than as a consistent way to make money.

So the choice really comes down to which game is the most fun for you.
