Mobile gaming is a huge trend in the online gambling world. There are plenty of real-money and play-money mobile apps for Android and Apple smartphones and tablets – but Windows mobile has been largely ignored. Now, Microgaming aims to change things by launched the first-ever real-money gambling app for Windows.
The mobile market continues to thrive, with more individuals using smart phones and tablets than ever. Android and Apple continue to dominate the mobile market, but Windows is starting to capture some of the market share. As such, it is important for mobile gaming operators to start focusing on Windows mobile devces.
“We follow mobile developments very closely and recent statistics show that the Windows Phone market share is increasing significantly across many European countries,” says John Quinn, Head of Casino at Microgaming. “With this in mind, we believe that Microsoft’s mobile platform is an important one to invest in.” The application has been developed from scratch using native code.
So, it is no wonder that it has been such a long time in the marking. The app will feature 32 exclusive Microgaming titles, including online pokies and table games. Over time, Microgaming will be adding new games and features to the new app. In the future, the app will also be customised for compatibility with Microgaming’s new operating system, Windows 10.
The new mobile casino for Windows will be powered by JackpotCity. It will available for any smartphone or tablet computer that runs on Windows 8 or Windows 8.1. We are eager to see how many users download this new app. Windows Mobile presents a great opportunity, and we hope that Microgaming will see success in this new venture.
