Mobile Gambling – Anywhere, Anytime

The days of having to shower, dress, drive and park at a casino were over when online casinos burst onto the internet only five to seven years ago.

Now, as the bounds of technology are pushed ever wider, perhaps the days of being locked in front of your computer screen at home, or having to find wireless connection with your laptop when traveling, are soon to be a thing of the past. Gambling has now gone fully mobile with technology that allows online casino players to play their favourite games from their cellular phones or PDAs, allowing access to those on-the-go anywhere, anytime.

Tired of reading the newspaper on those long commutes to work each day? How does a game of Blackjack or Roulette sound?

A company named Phantom Fiber is helping to lead this mobile gaming revolution. The Canada-based company provides wireless solutions to leading online casinos eager to extend their game-access capability to players who wish to play from any location without compromising the speed and graphics of the software.

"Phantom Fiber has established an infrastructure that enables our on-the-go society to seamlessly perform all types of transactions on their mobile devices," said Phantom Fiber Chief Executive Officer Jeff Halloran.

Golden Palace Casino, which is one of the largest online casinos in the world has recently established a partnership with Phantom Fiber to provide fast and slick real-time gaming to their customers. CasinoRoom has also embraced the new technology, offering their games to mobile users recently.

With the increase in mobile phone/PDA related technology, industry experts expect mobile gaming revenue to increase by 900% in the next three years.

Players who wish to gamble when mobile simply have to download the mobile software application to their mobile device. The player registers an account, with account information stored in the 'backend' for user protection should the user's mobile device be lost or stolen. Funds can be deposited or withdrawn using an eWallet payment system, accessible from the mobile device, after which the user is ready to start playing mobile casino games.

As almost everyone has a mobile phone - this mobile technology could open up the next big frontier for the online casino industry.
