A look at how casinos made their games portable

Now that casinos have become so highly portable, it is easy to imagine that their popularity will carry on increasing among travelers and other people who want to grab a few games whenever and wherever they can.

Travelling to somewhere like Las Vegas or Monte Carlo used to be the only way to combine travel with the chance to play casino games. However, the fact that many casinos have now made their games portable means that you can now enjoy playing at any time and even when you are far from home. How have they gone about this?

Live casino games have a human dealer
The first internet casinos at the start of this century had computer-generated games like blackjack and roulette on them. They proved to be extremely popular but the introduction of live casino games moved this industry onto a new level by attracting more players.

These live games work by featuring a human dealer who carries out their role while they are streamed live to the players’ screens. So, anyone who is taking part can place their stake virtually and then watch as the game unfolds right in front of them as though they were sitting in front of the dealer in a land casino.

A glance at Paddy Power's Live Casino lobby reveals titles like Live Blackjack and Live Roulette. They also have modern versions of these games, like Quantum Roulette and Lightning Roulette, which introduce new rules to spice up the action. In addition, wheel of fortune-style games like Monopoly Live and Live Spin a Win add more variety.

Mobile casinos give added freedom
Another area where online casinos have come on leaps and bounds is with the addition of mobile-optimized sites and mobile apps. In this way, players can log in from just about any mobile device and play the same games that are available on computers. The gameplay is the same on any device and many games are now developed on a mobile-first basis, as Medium's website outlines.

This added freedom means that we can now play slots or table games while we travel or while sitting around in the airport waiting for a flight to be called, or in a hotel room. Even someone with a busy lifestyle or a hectic travel schedule can now play whenever it suits them.

Fast and simple gameplay
The speed and simplicity of slots mean that these games, in particular, have enjoyed a boom period since going mobile. All you have to do is hit the spin button and then look to see if you get a group of matching symbols that add up to a cash win.

Appealing themes such as pyramid exploration in Egypt and leprechauns in the green fields of Ireland have helped slots to reach a wider audience too. There is no need to sit down and read a big set of rules, or already be an expert in the strategies and subtleties of the game in question.

All you need to do to play a modern casino game is pick up a mobile device and look for the start button. This is perhaps the final element that has helped to make these games truly portable, and as most people now own a smartphone, anyone can start playing anywhere the mood takes them. While online casino games run smoothly on most devices, the best experience will be on the top gaming smartphones with fast processors and large and vivid screens, reviews of which are on Techradar's list
