Macintosh user's
and devoted Apple techies have scored another point
following the release of
Poker Stars Mac-compatible
download poker room software this week. Thanks to the
innovative developers at Spin3, who have partnered with Microgaming Software, iPhone mobile user's will soon
have the luxury of playing mobile online casino games -
the first ever for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
In the mobile
gaming world, players generally must first choose their
phone make and model from a list on the online casinos
website, and then wait to receive the appropriate SMS
text message for downloading a compatible platform. This
platform by Spin3, however, is designed
specifically for the Mac apps used by the iPhone and
iPod. The games do not need to be downloaded, but are
instead, integrated with the iPhone's proprietary web
browser.
A tremendous feat to say the least, Spin3 is
also proud of the fact the mobile games are tailored to
integrate with the touch-screen capabilities of the iPhone, as well as horizontal and vertical viewing
modes. In other words, think of these mobile games as
being built into the phone itself, and offering all of
the ease and user-friendliness that Mac computers are
well known for, especially regarding multi-media
applications.
Far from being a
comprehensive mobile online casino, there are just three
games available on the phone. Two of these - Blackjack
and Microgaming's wildly popular Tomb Raider
online
video slots are currently available, while the
progressive jackpot video slot, Major Millions, will be
launched later in September at the European i-Gaming
Congress and Expo. All three games certainly make up the
most popular of the lot, especially Major Millions,
which recently busted a jackpot for nearly $1 million at
Microgaming's newest online casino licensee, Rich Reels.
For players
unfamiliar with the budding mobile online gambling
sector, there are no discernable differences between
Spin3's mobile games and their PC download casino
counterparts. According to early reviews, the new iPhone
mobile casino games offer extremely sharp graphics and
enhanced in-game effects. And seriously, would you
expect anything less from the iPhone?
