Games Enhanced for Mobile Gaming
Thanks to revolutionary new technology, mobile casino games are available for play on most up to date phones and tablets supporting instant browser play. This means that you will not have to download pesky applications. Most mobile platforms that we at CasinoWow support offer play for both Android and iOS phones and tablets/iPads.
Don’t expect the game screen to mimic those seen at online sites that are played from your PC. Because mobile devices have much smaller screens, most of the casino games must be slightly redesigned and optimised for a small touchscreen play.
You can, therefore, expect a slightly simpler gameplay set-up, with fewer options (not always the case though). The controls for betting and other commands will be found on areas of the screen that maximize efficiency for ‘thumb play’.
Other casino games played from a mobile device can offer just as much entertainment as other online casino games and even more, because you can literally play wherever and whenever you want to, just so long as you have a stable internet connection.
Types of Other Casino Games
There is quite an extensive list of casino games in this category, but for the sake of this article, we will only speak of 5 of the more popular ones. These include games like:
Video Poker
Often given a back seat to virtual table varieties of poker, video poker is a highly entertaining other casino game that can often be tied to progressive jackpots.
The game is played directly against the house. Wins are formed by landing strong poker hands while bets of 1 to 5 coins will see you awarded pay-outs following a predetermined pay grid. Higher value hands are worth more cash, with the highest payout usually reserved for a Royal Flush.
There are three primary game options in this genre:
- Jacks or Better: Any hand from a pair of jacks or better will win you a cash reward.
- Deuces Wild: Any 2 acts as a Wild card and substitutes for cards to help form the highest combination possible.
- Jokers Wild: This is played with a 53 card deck, where the joker is wild, substituting for all other cards to help complete the highest winning combination.
Scratch Cards
Mobile scratch cards work similarly to the scratch cards that you buy in the store, except that they are virtually rendered.
You purchase the card for the pre-determined price (depends on the game). You then use your finger to wipe over the scratchpad, as if you are scratching the foil, to reveal the hidden symbols. In most cases, you will need to match 3 of the same symbols or values to award a prize attached to that particular icon. This is an instant cash win and will be applied to your bankroll management immediately.
Keno Games
Keno is a number game, much like the lotto, but you do not have to wait once a week to play it. You can play a virtually rendered version of the game on your mobile device that will draw numbers after each selection you make.
Choose 6 to 15 numbers from a grid of 80 digits and allow the machine to choose a winning combination randomly. The winning numbers will then be compared against your selected figures and prizes will be paid per the ratio of numbers you selected correctly.
Bingo Games
Bingo is an all-time favourite game and was made especially popular by the bingo halls. Now it can be played on a virtual platform from the convenience of your mobile phone or tablet.
Buy in to receive your gridded bingo cards. Your number and letter combinations will then be selected randomly with the help of a random number generator. Should you match combinations of 5 consecutive positions either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally over a grid, you will win a cash reward.
Dice Games
There are a few popular dice games played at mobile casinos, other than the popular craps table game. One such example is Sic Bo (or Hi-Lo in English). In this other game variant, wins are determined by the throw of a dice. Bets can be wagered on a variety of throws, with the predominant falls being:
- Hi: Between 11 and 17
- Low: Between 4-10
- Odd: An odd number throw
- Even: An even number throw
Payouts and odds differ from wager to wager.
