Android Online Casinos for Australians

There is absolutely no question that much of the future of online gambling is going to reside with casinos that are designed to adapt to mobile devices, which include smartphones and tablets. Some of these devices utilize the Android operating system, which is connected to Google. So Android customers are a very important part of this audience.

How big is mobile gambling going to be? Well, nobody can determine for certain, because in the coming years nobody can accurately forecast what kind of innovations will come next. A company called Juniper Research, which engages in such forecasts, may not even be optimistic enough when it projects that wagering on mobile devices is going to be in excess of $100 billion by the year 2017. As most people know, there are various systems that are available for the "smart devices' to operate under. Apple has developed the iPhone and the iPad, and both of those have met with tremendous success. Then there is the Android format, developed by a competitor (Google), which is used in a number of different phones and tablets. Like the iPhone, Android devices have an "app store" where mechanisms by which to conduct activities with the Android system can be downloaded. There is also the matter of adapting sites themselves to the Android devices, and online casino operators have undertaken to do both.

Microgaming has been something of an innovator along these lines. The world's premier online software producer has designed its games so that they can be played on Android phones, certainly, but has also incorporated adjustments for bigger screens, which means they can be accommodated on tablets as well. By scaling the games to the size of the screen, Microgaming has established a great feature. These games are offered by leading online casinos such as All Slots Casino. They also have them at mFortune Casino, which was innovative in itself because it was the first to operate exclusively for the mobile customer.

If you have an Android phone or tablet, it used to be that you'd worry about whether you would be able to play games at your favorite online casino. But gradually that landscape is changing. In fact, it has gotten to the point where it is absolutely imperative that companies in the gambling space, sooner or later, are going to have to deal with servicing their Android customers, because on an international basis, Android actually has a wider distribution than the systems associated with Apple.
