Quick guide to iPhone and iPad casinos

iPhone and iPad casinos have opened up a world of convenience to people who have, traditionally, only been able to play at online casinos on their desktop computers. Thanks to the evolutions of smartphones, playing your favourite slots, video poker games and table games is as easy as opening a browser window on your iPhone or iPad, or downloading an app. But before you start, find out how to get the best from your smartphone casino experience and get a few helpful tips to make the experience much better, faster and more convenient.

ACCESSING YOUR iPHONE AND iPAD CASINOS

Your smartphone allows you to access online casinos in one of two ways. You can either download an app from the Apple iStore or open a browser window on your internet app (like Safari), to play at your favourite online South African casino. Before you do either of these two things though, consider this: which experience is available to you and which is better for you?

When it comes to availability, you’ll find that not all South African casinos have apps for iPhone or iPad. Though your favourite casino may offer you a lot of playing options on your computer, they may not have a similar experience available to you as an app. Always check to find out if the casino you want to play at has an app that is compatible with your iPhone or iPad. Our list of iPhone and iPad casinos has been compiled to make the process a lot easier for you.

Next, consider the experience. While a casino’s app may provide a really quick and convenient playing solution, what happens when the app doesn’t have your favourite game loaded to it? You might find that playing in your phone’s browser gives you access to more games than an app would, but keep in mind that even a phone browser won’t be able to host all of the games you play on your computer. Take note too that Flash games generally don’t work on an iPhone or iPad, so ensure that the casino you play at has an HTML5 option for the games you want to play.

WHICH GAMES ARE THE BEST TO PLAY?

As previously mentioned, you won’t be able to access all of the same games on your phone that you do on your desktop. Most app and phone software developers are quite limited in what they are able to provide you with, and that means you should try to stick to just a few game categories when you play at iPhone and iPad casinos. The three main game types that work best on your iOS phone include slots, table games and 3D slots.

When you play table game on your phone, don’t be too surprised if they don’t look much like the games you’d find on your desktop-based casino accepting rand (ZAR). Games such as blackjack, baccarat and roulette have to be changed in terms of their size and other specifications to best fit the screen of your device. That means that while you may have an all-encompassing experience on your large-screen desktop computer, playing at the virtual tables on your device is not going to feel realistic.

When it comes to the slots, these are obviously one of the best games to play at iPhone and iPad casinos. Slots, because of their simplicity, translate really well to the world of mobile games and whether you’re playing on the latest iPhone 6 Plus or the very first iPad ever released, you’ll probably have a very similar experience on mobile as you would on your desktop.

3D slots are a category within themselves and if you haven’t encountered them at an online casino, there’s a very good reason. 3D slots are actually a new game category and these are being developed specifically for mobile. Software developers understand that the experience players have is different when they play on a computer versus a mobile device. To combat this, they are starting to develop a whole new generation of games that work specifically on mobile devices, and that make the experience players have more engaging.

SUMMING UP THE EXPERIENCE

The development of technology and software is slowly bridging the game between desktop and mobile South African casinos. These days, our experience is still a bit limited in terms of what we can do on our phones, as opposed to what we do on our computers, but within the next five to ten years, that gap will no longer exist. Technology development is speeding up at an alarming rate, and that means within the next few weeks, months or years, your experience with iPhone and iPad casinos will just get better.
