Finding the best online casinos from your computer can be difficult enough, and finding fun apps to play when there are thousands to choose from can be a challenge as well. The combination can be a hassle, and many are still unaware of what it even means to play at an online casino from your smartphone. Here is everything you need to know.

What Is a Mobile Casino?

A mobile casino is a place you can place bets in the hopes of winning money, just as you would at a brick-and-mortar casino, including the same odds and winning potential, just electronically and on your mobile device. You would play it just as you would a mobile app, and it can be a nice change of pace from regular gaming, where you can end up spending money for in-app things that will never translate into more money in your bank account (unless maybe you sell your login info).

What Makes a Great Online Casino in General?

Mobile or from your computer, the making of a great online casino starts with its reputation, security, and fairness: A reputation among the gaming community for always paying out winnings, the state-of-the-art security technology that protects your personal information and finances, and the fairness of random number generators that are regularly audited by independent, third-party companies. Next is the game selection, because being able to play the games that fit your preference, whether they be Pokies, Video Poker, Roulette, Blackjack, Sports Betting, Poker, or whatever it may be, is essential. The promotions that they offer, wherein you can get free money just for making a deposit (be sure to read the terms and conditions first, because rollover requirements can be a big turnoff), can be important as well, as can the deposit and withdrawal banking method options.

What Are the Different Types of Mobile Casinos?

There are generally two types of mobile online casinos: Flash and app. With the flash version, you would use your standard browser app and visit the casino is website. There you would login and have access to all of their games, just as you would on your computer. These days, the best casinos available to Australian players that have a flash version of their game lobby are accessible from your mobile device. The other kind are apps, and the most you will find are on Android devices, though depending on where you live, you should be able to find plenty for iOS. You download the casino from the app store, and you can play all of the games they offer in that lobby. This is normally a smaller amount of games than a flash version, but the quality of the graphics, animation, and sound effects are normally better and more seamless.

Where Can I Find the Best Mobile Casinos?

For the Australia online casino community, expert independent resource sites that direct you to the best online casinos, including mobile casinos, are your best bet, as they do all the research for you and make it easy to make a choice and start winning. You can also do personal research, but knowing what to look for in terms of digital independent audit seals, promo rollovers, gaming selection, and banking method convenience in comparison to the rest of the market can be a big task. Let other people dedicate the time, and best of all, it is free on your end. No work; all play.

A Few More Important Things to Note

The experience of playing in a casino differs for each player. Some casinos offer bonuses and promotions specifically for mobile gaming, wherein you get free spins or free money if you play the mobile version. Another thing to look for is the option to play in Australian currency, because exchanging to the Australian dollar if the only option is betting in Pound Sterling, Euro, or the American dollar can be pricy. It is also worth reiterating that you should always look at the terms and conditions of promos before you take advantage of them. Rollover is the amount of money you have to bet before you can withdraw, which can be as much as 30x your deposit and the bonus combined. If you deposit $50 and they match your deposit by 100%, you would have $100 in your bankroll, but if the rollover is 30x, you would have to bet $3,000 before you can withdraw any winnings. However, to some, free money is free money, and most players seem to take advantage of the promotions.

The Asphalt series has gone airborne in the 8th outing for this hugely popular series. As you would expect, Gameloft has nailed the handling of the cars using the right amount of tilt action to control your vehicle. Acceleration and speed is automatic and you have control over the nitro bursts with one thumb and breaking or power sliding with the other. The game is great fun for the price tag as you have a massive 8 seasons and 180 races to complete. All of these races are set over a limited amount of countries but each track has a myriad of alternative routes and sneaky short cuts.

Whilst the game is thoroughly enjoyable, some parts do involve a bit of grinding in order to get enough cash to improve your car and buy better rides. This wouldn’t be so bad if there wasn’t the constant reminder that real money can buy you cash and car packs go help speed up or improve the game.if you are fine with the simple cars and do not yearn for the Camaro or that Electric Mercedes from Transformers 3 then you’ll be fine. Otherwise you will find yourself perusing the cars packs being tempted to spend some cash. Sadly, no one pack can be bought that would give you a range of cars across classes which is a little sneaky.

As you can guess from the name, Asphalt 8 takes to the skies as ramps, jumps and bridges give you the chance to gain extra nitro power as you hang ten and grab some air. Many of the star achievements ask you to perform airborne tricks such as barrel rolls and spins in order to get the maximum five stars. Whilst this is a great addition to the series, some of the tricks don’t always activate as you expect and can be a little glitchy. This however, is rare and some times you welcome the simple jump as tricks can often cost you speed.

Aside from the usual racing mode there are two additional game types called ‘infected’ and ‘knockdown’. Infected sees players getting infected by other cars (and going green) and using their unlimited nitro boosts attempt to infect other players before burning out. Knockdown is less about the racing and more about the destruction as the cars all attempt to gain the most amount of crashes.

The multiplayer game experience blew my mind, as I didn’t think such an experience was possible on a tablet. There is always people to race and apart from a few people leaving the race seconds before the end (usually when they are losing) the race feels solid and enjoyable.

With fantastic graphics, a tremendous sense of speed and a game that could last for months, Asphalt 8 is a truly awesome racing game that despite its ‘pay to win’ reminders has to be one of the best racing games on a tablet device. For only 69p its well worth a try if only for the Mini racing around London.
