How Your Apple iPhone Can Become a Mobile Casino

Apple iPhone devices are fast being turned into portable mobile casinos, for those who want them to be anyway, as software developers adapt to demand for real-money gaming on virtual slot machines.

British iPhone owners received some good news this week when Big Fish Games announced it would be introducing a real-money version of its gambling application Big Fish Casino on Apple's App Store in the coming weeks. London-based partner Betable will process bets to ensure they are available onto to British customers.

A recent Juniper Research report found that smartphone and tablet users are expected to wager $100 billion annually through their devices by 2017, up five-fold from last year. Game developers are taking this a sign to start building new technology, and companies like Big Fish who provide real-money apps will be those that succeed.

Bet365 is one online gambling operator to have led the way in this area, already offering six iPhone-compatible instant-play mobile games. The title currently available for play directly from your phone's browser are Blackjack, Gold Rally, Roulette, Fish-o-Rama, Frankie Dettori and Santa's Gifts.

If you are already a member of bet365 Casino, Sportsbook or any of its other platforms, you can access the casino games from your iPhone using your existing account. Just point your phone's browser at casino.bet365.com and start playing all your favorite games anytime, anywhere.
