    Mobile casino games--yey or nay?

    We're looking at launching Buzzluck mobile in the next couple of months... anyone using any mobile casinos? Like 'em? Tried them but stopped? Good examples?

    Cheers

    Alex

    I have used a mobile casino before because they offered good bonuses. However, the connection was way too slow over GPRS/3G so I could only really use it when connected to wi-fi through my phone. I can only connect to wi-fi at home, so I might as well just use the computer! Even so, it was still very slow compared to desktop software. They still send me good bonuses by text every week but it's not been enough to tempt me to play there again.

    They were also very limited in their deposit/withdrawal options. I deposited using my Maestro debit card but unlike every other casino out there, they won't credit a withdrawal back to the card. I had to use "post office pay" which involved going down to the post office with a barcode, and invariably having to explain the system to the old woman behind the counter. I think they offer withdrawal by cheque now but that's almost as inconvenient.

    I tried Slotland mobile once - and I hated it.

    Worse than that it cost me a fortune in 3G charges.

    Personally, Im on my mobile enough and the last thing i want to do it play games on it.

    Seeing as I don't have a cellphone, and don't plan on getting one, I'd have to say nay. Honestly, if I thought I could get along without a landline, I'd get rid of that too.

    I don't own a cellphone or other mobile gadgets but would consider having one for playing mobile casino games when I'm not at home. I'm watching how the casino mobile games are developing whether it's feasible enough start playing them.

    The casino I used was "winasugo". The software is at least contained within one program unlike the mobile version of MG software which requires you to install a seperate application for each game on your phone.

    I like to gamble on a big screen; I might be attracted by good bonuses avaliable on mobile platforms but I doubt i'll ever use them regularly.

    Although I do have a cellphone, I don't have any plan for internet usage. I think however, it is a smart market to move into. There are cellphones on the market with larger displays than mine, and if I was trying to develop inhouse software, I'd try to target the high-end mobile user by integrating touch screen applications.

    I could see a mobile casino as a very attractive option for clients with jobs that involved regular commutes by rail or bus, or extended wait times in airports, and a good web access plan.

    I have also tried mobile casinos - MG and Playtech and I'm afraid I have to agree that both were extremely slow and I played my money and gave up on those as quickly as possible, they are so slow they are boring. Good luck with your venture tho, I hope it will be a lot quicker and more entertaining than any I have tried.
