Smartphones are used by millions of people all over the world
LAS VEGAS – Gambling is on the rise in the past decades and especially in the past few years. And yet the number of casinos visits and the amounts wagered in casinos all over the world haven’t increased significantly. But this is no paradox or anything weird. It’s simply that people nowadays tend to play casino games on their electronic devices or to be more precise on their desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. Until recently people played on their desktop computer and laptops, but several years ago it became clear that the future is casino apps and now a large percentage of all gambling is done via mobile devices and that percentage is expected to grow even further. Some even predict that mobile casino gaming will surpass conventional casino gaming and computer casino gaming.
Number of Mobile Devices Keeps Growing
Back in 2014 it was published that there are more mobile devices than people. But the more important fact was that the number of mobile devices is increased five times faster than the number of people. Moreover, not only has the number of mobile subscriptions and mobile devices increased significantly, but also the number of things a mobile device can be used for. Those of us who are old enough remember the days when it was only possible to save contacts, make phone calls and send texts and the progress in the field of mobile technology is more than astonishing.
