What Is The Best Casino App For Slots?

What Are Some Slots Not Available On Mobile?

One of the biggest bugbears for mobile slots players in particular, is that they will have happily played a slot via a desktop PC and then when they load up the casino and try to play the same slot on their mobile device, they are unable to.

As time passes, this problem is diminishing as more and more casinos now offer an increasing number of their slot games (and indeed, any of their other casino games) to mobile customers as well as those that play via desktop.

However, for the time being you will still find the occasional game that works perfectly well on a desktop but which is unavailable for mobile and there are essentially two main reasons why this is the case.

Programming Language

For any slot or casino game to work on a mobile device, it has to have been written in a language that is compatible with mobile phones and tablets, a good example of this being HTML 5. This language is optimised for mobile phones and tablets as it delivers quality graphics combined with rapid loading speeds without the need to download the software onto your phone.

However, not all slots developers used such mobile friendly technology (especially older Playtech games for example) when developing games and there are still some today who will develop games that are not ready to go on a mobile device without considerable reworking. When that is the case, these games are not available for mobile players until a mobile-friendly version is designed, or the original game upgraded.

That brings us neatly onto the second key issue…

Software Iterations

Perhaps the biggest reason why a number of slots will not play on mobile is simply that they were developed at a time when mobile technology was not as advanced as it is now and where very few people, if any considered playing slots or any form of casino game from their mobile.

Take for example the Major Millions slot from Microgaming, which is now 17 years old, Mega Moolah is over 13 years old and there are thousands of other slot games from other developers that were designed when everybody used casino sites from their PC.

So why don’t companies simply update their older slots? Well while in principle that sounds a very simple and appealing idea, it is actually a huge amount of work as it is not simply a case of tweaking a few things here and there in the coding to make the game mobile-compatible. In a great many cases, the entire game will need to be rewritten using mobile-friendly software and that takes time and money for a game which, when complete, will still be viewed by many players as being an ‘older’ game.

Despite this, many companies are now working hard to get mobile friendly versions of their most popular desktop-only slots ready to play and each month there is a steady release of games which are now almost universally mobile friendly, some of which are remastered versions of older games (Cool Buck, released in May 2017 being a great example).

What Kind Of Phone Do You Need To Play?

The vast majority of slot games for mobile devices are designed to work with as many different versions of the following phones/tablets as possible.

• Apple iPhone
• Apple iPad
• Android Smartphones
• Android Tablets

These four devices are the ones which most casinos will seek to support initially, with some other sites offering support for other devices including Windows Mobile Phones, BlackBerry, Nokia and similar, although the number of sites offering support for these devices is considerably smaller than Android and iOS devices.

It is worth noting however that some older devices may not run the latest software, for example if you have a very old iPhone 2 or 3 or an Android Smartphone or Tablet running one of the very first operating systems. Most sites have clearly indicated the minimum software and hardware requirements to run their casino apps and the vast majority of modern phones and tablets will be able to access the software without any issues.
