Many casino purists were apprehensive when online casinos first started, as they believed that it would be hard to recreate the casino buzz, rush, and atmosphere in this format. How could people experience the thrill of the casino, the sights, the sounds, and the smells, from a computer screen at home? But online casinos found a way around this and developed different ways to add to their appeal.
Online casinos offered something different. They gave players the opportunity to play in comfort and be relaxed, which made a huge difference to some players who found casinos stressful. Online casinos made things simple, they had instructions, they had helpdesks, and they had simple ways to cash in and out. Generally they were user friendly, and even casino loyalists began to see the appeal.
Now, online casinos are all over the internet, and some even have live links to real life casino tables so that players can feel like they are actually there. The online casino has well and truly become accepted. So what was the next step?
Now that smartphones and tablets are so prevalent, it seemed obvious that the online casinos would move to this platform. Many of the popular online casinos now offer free mobile apps to download on your smartphone or tablet, that enable you to play the same casino games as you would on your computer but on the move.
