Filed under: Casino — Tags: , — OCE News @ 12:00 am

Today there is a tremendous surge in the sale of mobile gaming devices and this trend is not likely to fade soon. As more and more individuals are buying smartphones and tablet devices, the trend seems to be in favor of the emergence of more mobile games. Incidentally, mobile subscriptions all across the world have reached an unprecedented number and nearly half the American population today own cell phones, mostly smartphones. Mobile gaming is extremely popular in the US even though casino gambling is yet to be legalized. Mobile gaming is a big hit with the players because they can start to play anywhere and continue to play wherever they may be.

According to Forrester Research, which was conducting a survey to find out the future of smartphones and tablets in the future, there is likely to be nearly a billion users of mobile devices by the next five years. Those who earlier took to online casino gambling are now preferring to play games on their mobile devices because this is not only convenient but the apps are so improved and advanced that they get to enjoy an out-of-the-world gaming experience. Therefore, the trend among gaming operators today is in favor of bringing out the games that can be played both at online casinos and mobile casinos. Among them are the All Slots Casino powered by Microgaming software and InterCasino which uses Cryptologic gaming software.

Promotion at Virgin Casino

The Irish celebrate St. Patrick’s Day on March 17th, and in keeping with these festivities, the Virgin Casino has launched a new promotion. This is called the St. Patrick 15 pound Giveaway where the players can compete against each other for their share in the prize pool. This promotion is expected to run from March 12th to March 18th. The players keen to take part in this promotion must register first and then place wagers on as many 200 games for getting leader board points. The player getting the most number of points here is adjudged the winner of the leader board. All wagers are real money deposits and wagers with bonuses earned previously are not accepted.

In this prize pool, the first position winner gets 1000 pounds followed by 700 pounds to each of the second, third, and fourth position holders. Those holding fifth to eighth positions get 450 pounds each, whereas those from ninth to eighteenth positions get 200 pounds each. Usually, this casino starts promotions only in the online slots, but this unique promotion features different kinds of casino games. Where the wagering contribution goes, the slots and scratch cards provide nearly 100 percent. Video poker, roulette, and table games make up about 20 percent, whereas blackjack and slots contribute about ten percent.

All information about the games and wagers to be placed on them can be found on the casino website. All Irish-themed games are most popular during this promotion in the honor of St. Patrick’s Day. Among these, Emerald Isle and Irish Eyes are slots which contribute nearly 200 percent to the wagers placed.
