When smartphones were first popularised by the iPhone, they brought with them a significant untapped app market. Over time, many types of video games would fill this role, yet many also struggled. As it turns out, converting traditional games to touchscreen controls was problematic at best, where complicated titles became clumsy and frustrating. There were, however, certain types of interactive entertainment that thrived on smartphones, and online casino games illustrated this connection perfectly. So, what is it that made them successful, and why is this platform getting more attention from the mobile casino market as time goes on? An Evolved MarketIn the modern state of online casino services, flexibility is the name of the game. Whether collecting deposit matches and free spins, playing slots or live games, or even just checking around, access is possible from many different HTML compatible systems. Naturally, these casinos started out catering to PC, but over time the mobile market has become an equally important part of the equation. Now without the need for dedicated app downloads or platforms like Flash with limited support, getting involved has become simple, no matter a user’s preferred device. “Flash 8 Training Book" (CC BY-SA 2.0) by Andrew* A Mobile FitOne of the most highly regarded aspects of online casino games is their capacity for convenient play sessions. Unlike physical casinos, there’s no annoyance or frustration for companies if players want to spend just a couple of minutes looking around, and the same acceptance applies to longer play sessions. More coincidentally than anything else, this acceptance meshes perfectly with what mobiles offer, as their ubiquitous nature leaves them open to quick access and play. With mobiles, nobody has to sit down and go through long boot-ups or login procedures. The games are right at a player’s fingertips, wherever and whenever they want. Benefits of TouchComing in as another accidental advantage is how well online casino games play with the touch interface of mobile systems. In more action-heavy video games this interface can be annoying and imprecise, but with simpler titles, it works perfectly. As it just so happens, good UI and UX design in online casino games created a system where practically all titles could be streamlined to a highly efficient degree. This would eliminate the annoyance that many players have with other games, making casino titles that are much more likely to draw in repeated play and stand the test of time. In basic terms, where many titles struggled in the move from desktop systems to mobiles, online casino games didn't just work, they thrived. ”Using mobile phone in cafe“ (CC BY 2.0) by barnimages.com As of 2021, around 56% of all website traffic comes from mobile devices. No longer an optional means of access for some, smartphones have now become the default form of connectivity for many. As a result of this shift, many industries have had to change tack as they modify their systems to better leverage an evolving market. As one of these industries, online casinos have tackled the change better than most. With a 10% CAGR expected until at least 2027, the upward trend of online casinos is still far from reaching its hypothetical peak. While we can’t know exactly what will come next, we do know that whatever happens, mobiles will be there.

Time, Place, and the Success of Casinos on Smartphones published first on https://medium.com/@clubpokeronline via Tumblr Time, Place, and the Success of Casinos on Smartphones Grosvenor Sport have announced their Euro 2020 call-up, and we’re over the moon to welcome Jamie O’Hara to our summer squad. He’s already given us his first impressions of England and their chances of bringing football home – check it out below! Jamie joins the team as Euro 2020 ambassador to provide previews, reviews and no doubt some strong opinions as the tournament progresses. The former Premier League star will not only offer plenty of England insight, he’s also been brave enough to step into enemy territory… Joining forces with the Scottish powerhouse podcast, Open Goal, O’Hara will take on the boys at EurDecision – a free-to-play prediction game where Grosvenor Sport customers can win up to £60,000 during the Euros. Jamie even made it up to Glasgow to exchange opinions with Si Ferry, Kev Kyle and Paul Slane in the first Open Goal podcast of the European Championships – and we’d be surprised if England v Scotland is anywhere near as feisty as this. Sponsored by Grosvenor Sport, this is the only tournament opener you’ll ever need. Enjoy… #AnnounceJamie – O’Hara joins Grosvenor Sport’s Euro 2020 team published first on https://medium.com/@clubpokeronline via Tumblr #AnnounceJamie – O’Hara joins Grosvenor Sport’s Euro 2020 team According to a recent report outlined at GlobeNewswire, current trajectories paint online casinos on track to reach a market value of US $100b by 2026. This would hold a 10% CAGR from 2019 to 2026, a pattern which so far remains steady. Europe is expected to play the largest part of this market, currently accounting for a 52% share. From this point, the Asia Pacific markets are expected to see the most growth. Those with better availability within Africa could also play a key part. Leading to the Current MarketValued at $58.6b in 2020 according to www.grandviewresearch.com, the last decade has been one where the online casino market went from a somewhat niche to a mainstream industry. Online casinos first appeared sometime around 1996, back when dial-up was still standard. During this era, online casino websites and games were both crude by modern standards, relying on outdated platforms like Macromedia’s Flash to deliver their titles. As the internet became increasingly ubiquitous around the turn of the new millennium, faster average internet speeds were matched by commensurate growth in computing power. During this period, online casino games became more than rough approximations of their offline cousins, eventually matching and even exceeding the capabilities of physical machines. This led to them becoming more palatable to the mass market, creating an era of accelerated growth. “iphone" (CC BY 2.0) by Lieutenant Pol This growth was then aided by the arrival of the iPhone in 2007, and the smartphone boom that followed. With a new handheld market leading to a massive increase in demand for mobile entertainment experiences, online casinos fit consumer wants perfectly. With instant access, a wide range of titles on hand, and none of the input concerns that came with more complex games on mobiles, an explosion of online casino interest was inevitable. Today, online casinos like www.superseven.com operate off of modern HTML systems to create highly flexible and diverse experiences. In this environment, slots like Buffalo King and Templar Tumble make up most of what’s on offer, though table games such as poker and blackjack also feature heavily. Playable over desktops, laptops, tablets, mobiles, and more, the current market is once where accessibility and choice are king. Future ProbabilitiesLooking towards the future, the most immediate potential lies in better penetration of underutilised markets. As noted above, Asia is the most immediate direction that casinos are heading, with significant untapped potential ripe for exploration. This is especially the case for China, the largest population on the planet with rapidly expanding internet access. The last year alone saw more than 80 million additional people connecting to the internet within China’s borders. India follows a similar pattern, with a growth of internet access to the tune of 128 million people taking place in the 2019-2020 period. While somewhat behind this trend in most countries, Africa is likely to soon follow Asia’s lead. This could again represent a massive boon to the online casino industry, once better rates of internet adoption are reached. ”growth“ (CC BY 2.0) by CreditDebitPro Though the expansion rates of online casinos will eventually see a downturn, the current nature of the developing market means this inevitability could be years away. For at least the 2020s and likely into the 2030s, improving technology alongside more active users should solidify online casino’s regular growth. What happens after this point? That much remains to be seen.

Online Casinos Expected to Grow to $100b by 2026 published first on https://medium.com/@clubpokeronline via Tumblr Online Casinos Expected to Grow to $100b by 2026 It’s Derby Festival Weekend at Epsom Downs, which means two delightful days of racing await us in Surrey. The Oaks is Friday’s standout event, taking place 24 hours before the eagerly anticipated Epsom Derby. Who do you fancy to win the Classics? Let’s take a look at some of the market front-runners for the 2021 editions. And we’re off… Epsom Oaks BettingSanta Barbara (5/2)Despite failing to justify join-favouritism in the 1,000 Guineas, the 5/2 favourite for The Oaks still did enough to satisfy Aidan O’Brien, with the Ballydoyle trainer confident his filly will improve on that Newmarket showing. A maiden winner back in September at the Curragh, O’Brien was bullish in his praise and Ryan Moore will be back in the saddle for what will be only her third outing. Snowfall (9/2)Another in the O’Brien colours, Snowfall was mightily impressive at York, producing a career-best to win the Musidora Stakes last month under the masterful Moore. However, it’ll be Frankie Dettori saddling up this time around. Whether the same front-running tactics will be employed remains to be seen, but she’ll face competition for an early lead and there are stamina concerns. But Dettori knows a thing or two about winning the Oaks and you can never rule him out. Teona (11/2)Teona was one of those unable to peg back Snowfall in the Musidora, but she’s bred for success in the Oaks and this will have undoubtedly been a target for the Roger Varian-trained filly. After hitting a flat point at York, this talented filly out of Derby-winning Sea of Stars found a bit more, staying on for third. She’s destined for big things… but this could be too much, too soon. For all The Oaks odds, step this way with Grosvenor Sport. Epsom Derby BettingBolshoi Ballet (11/10)Aiden O’Brien has decided to send just one horse into battle for the Epsom Derby… but what a horse he is. Choosing to send High Definition to the Irish Derby later this month, Bolshoi Ballet is now the hot favourite to be first past the post on Saturday. A dual winner at Leopardstown this year, the 3-year-old out of Galileo has all the makings of a Derby winner, and it could be a special double for Moore, O’Brien and the Ballydoyle stable. Mohaafeth (13/2)A winner in March, a winner in April, a winner in May. Mohaafeth’s hat-trick run at Newmarket was the most impressive performance yet from a 3-year-old with potentially much more to come. Trainer William Haggas won his first and only Derby 25 years ago with Shaamit, and this Frankel colt has every chance of helping him double that tally. Unlike Mac Swiney, Haggas and jockey Jim Crowley will be hoping for a nice dry build-up to boost the chances of this precocious talent. Mac Swiney (7/1)Mac Swiney delivered a scintillating performance in the Irish 2,000 Guineas last month and with High Definition’s withdrawal, is currently the most likely to stop Bolshoi Ballet in his tracks based on the Derby betting odds. The Jim Bolger-trained horse was beaten by Bolshoi Ballet in the Derrinstown, but his pedigree bodes well for the trip. And he wouldn’t mind a bit of wet weather to help turn the tables. No Irish 2000 Guineas winner has gone onto win the Derby since 1975. Big ask, but a chance… To check out the rest of the field and all the latest horse racing betting odds, get yourself to Grosvenor Sport – with Best Odds Guaranteed and every race across UK and Ireland free to watch. *Stated odds correct at time of writing Epsom Derby Festival: The Preview published first on https://medium.com/@clubpokeronline via Tumblr Epsom Derby Festival: The Preview Station Casinos is pleased to welcome entertainers and music fans alike back to its venues throughout the city as live music and concerts mark their triumphant return.

From Headliners to The City’s Most Notable Lounge Acts, Station Casinos Welcomes the Return of Live Entertainment published first on https://medium.com/@clubpokeronline via Tumblr From Headliners to The City’s Most Notable Lounge Acts, Station Casinos Welcomes the Return of Live Entertainment At Grosvenor Casino, we have always carried a passion for sports. And we have made sure to cater for those who share this passion as well at our online casino! Today, we have rated the best golfers of all time, and now it’s time to find out the best golf swings to have graced the game over the years. We have all watched Happy Gilmour and seen that ‘perfect’ swing, but no matter what a golf swing looks like there is only one thing which matters – the end result. Over the years there have been some golf swings which look like works of art which have taken golfers to many a Major win, and some more industrious swings. Every single detail is now analysed at the top level, and you can put plenty of time and effort in to perfecting your swing to produce the best results. A few of the golfers mentioned below will be at the US Open in Pebble Beach this week, and Grosvenorsport.com take a look over some of the best golf swings ever. Ben HoganWhen you first take up golf almost every instructor highlights the swing of Hogan as one of the best, and it stands the test of time. The swing is simple, but powerful, beautiful and effective. Let the man talk you through it himself here… Retief GoosenHe may have only won two Majors in his career, but there are very few swings which look as good as that of the South African. It looks effortless, and while he is not one of the longest, it proves to be very effective and has stood him in good stead to stay at the top of the game for a number of years now. Fred CouplesAnother example of a languid looking stroke, but very effective is that of Fred Couples, despite having to make alterations to it throughout his career due to injury. It’s effortless, and that is often the key to a good swing. Many casual golfers start off thinking you have to hit the ball as hard as you possibly can to hit it furthest – but that couldn’t be further from the truth. If you look at Couples’ swing, it is a thing of beauty and has helped him to win the Masters back in 1992, as well as top-three finishes in all the other Majors. Tiger WoodsTiger Woods’ swing may not look the most beautiful but it has certainly delivered on the biggest stage. The 15-time Major winner had the swing of envy back in 2000 when under the tutelage of Butch Harman which produced some devastating results Injuries may have taken something away from his game in recent years but his ability to strike the ball well can never be in question. One of his most famous wins, where his swing was in evidence, was the US Open at Pebble Beach in 2002 and is one of the favourites once again in Grosvenorsport.com’s golf betting odds for this year’s event at the same venue. Rory McIlroyBeauty is in the eye of the beholder, and many believe McIlroy’s swing to be right up there with the best. Again it is a simple and effective swing and while he will tell you he just wants to ‘grip it and rip it’ you wouldn’t be able to tell that from his swing. It is solid from the moment he starts the swing until he hits the ball and there’s a reason why he will continue to challenge at the top of the game for a number of years to come. It’s often the simplest swings which can prove to be effective, and this is epitomised in McIlroy’s. Sam SneadSam Snead had one of the sweetest and rhythmic swings the game has ever seen. In addition to that, he has one of the most powerful swings around and that earned him the nickname ‘The Slammer’. Snead’s swing helped him to seven Major wins, with the only one which escaped him being the US Open where he finished second on four occasions. Adam ScottThe Australian has undoubtedly one of the best swings around in the game. As Scott broke on to the golfing scene his swing has continued to improve and like so many of the others mentioned, it seems almost effortless yet delivers an outstanding amount of power which helped him win the Masters in 2013 as well as top-five finishes in all the other Majors. Fancy the likes of Scott, McIlroy or Woods to challenge this week at the US Open? Take a look at how much you can win with our bet calculator and enjoy premium quality online sports betting here.

Golf | Best golf swings ever published first on https://medium.com/@clubpokeronline via Tumblr Golf | Best golf swings ever In a recent survey conducted by HowToBet.com, fans of NASCAR have the lowest average IQ score out of a number of other professional sports. These findings might not be that surprising to the average citizen in the US, as NASCAR has a very unique audience and fan base. According to this survey, the average IQ of a NASCAR fan is just 95.20. Not only does this put the sport in last place, but it is also the only sport that fails to have an average IQ of its fans over 100. There were four different categories that were observed with this study, and fans of NASCAR were at or near the bottom in every group. The four categories that were questioned were: Verbal intelligence, mathematical ability, logical reasoning, and visual reasoning. Fans of NASCAR actually scored the lowest in every single category outside of logical reasoning. Fans of NASCAR ranked 4th out of six when it comes to logical reasoning, but it still wasn’t enough to push the sport out of the bottom. Major League Baseball was actually 5th on the list when it comes to the average IQ of a fan, and that could potentially be seen as an interesting result. MLB is typically followed by an older generation as the sport has struggled to attract a new and younger generation of fans. This survey did not ask any of those people involved about any specific sports knowledge but was rather seeing out the average intelligence score. There were over 1,000 people surveyed for this report, and all of the participants had to be a fan of a sport or of a specific athlete. One of the biggest reasons that the overall score for NASCAR was so low is due to the fact that some individual drives have fans with a low IQ score. There wasn’t a single NASCAR driver that had average fan IQ scores in the top-20, and actually, the last three athletes on this list all drive in the NASCAR series. WWE Has Smart Fans?Perhaps the most surprising information from this survey is that the WWE has the fans with the highest average IQ. WWE is not considered a “real” sport by most fans across the United States, but the organization has apparently attracted the most intelligent fans in the country. Fans of the WWE scored the highest in both verbal intelligence and logical reasoning. This could explain why intelligent people are drawn to the sport, as most of the action is fake or scripted. The National Hockey League was actually second on the list, and it appears that only the smartest people in the US follow the sport. The NHL is not a big betting market, and it is not a sport that most people in the United States follow. These surveys were conducted at random, but following a team or a professional athlete was a requirement of all the participants. This survey was given to more than 1,000 sports fans, and the WWE just continued to turn up impressive results. Roman Reigns has the fans with the highest average IQ, and that does make some sense as he is one of the most popular men to follow in this sport. It does help that Reigns is an established name in WWE and has built up a massive following. The results of this survey were a bit surprising on a number of levels, but none bigger than the WWE having the fans with the highest average IQ. Perhaps a different survey with another pool of 1,000 people would yield different results, but HowToBet.com has made it clear that WWE fans are the most intelligent.

NASCAR Fans Not Intelligent published first on https://medium.com/@clubpokeronline via Tumblr NASCAR Fans Not Intelligent Slots are, without a doubt, one of the best kinds of casino games. They offer many themes and ways you can double or triple your winnings. You can multiply your winnings with the games’ bonus features, and you can do that via casino bonuses, too. There are many modern casinos like Betinia where you can land a sweet bonus to compliment your winnings. You can find a Betinia bonus of every kind right here: https://betinia.com/en/promotions. However, on the whole, slots are mostly games of chance. This means that they don’t have many strategies mapped out before the player to ensure a higher percentage of winning. Despite that, you can use some sneaky little ways to make sure you have the best outcome possible. Always Play the Slot DemosThis is probably a no-brainer, but demos are there for a reason. Most slots in online casinos have a handy demo you can try with a fake balance you can use. This way, you can plan out and map out strategies before going ahead and playing for real money. You can have a feel of the game and decide if it’s worth it to invest your hard-earned savings. We never suggest diving right ahead into a game just because it’s classified as popular or the best slot right now. We’re talking about real money here, and it’s only sensible for you to make a decision based on your experience. Betting the MaximumIt’s a good idea to bet to the max so that you can have all of the slot lines in the action during your spins. This way, you’re increasing your chances of payouts, and also, you have many bonuses that you can activate if you bet the maximum. It’s also a way for you to make sure you’re not missing any part of the fun, which is almost always the case. We suggest you plan out a budget and decide if you can afford to bet the max in your slot sessions. Have Control over YourselfMany online casinos target their players with aggressive marketing that promotes a luxury lifestyle with only one game session. However, you should know better and better control yourself whether you’re playing slots or any other type of casino game. Know your budget, reflect on your emotions, and don’t let the casino get the best out of you. Understand that you’re playing for fun and that this is not a way to solve any financial issues you might have. Getting in debt over casino sessions is not recommended. Complex Games are not Your FriendThis is one piece of advice that many players know, but newbies tend to forget or overlook. If you come across one of those modern slots with endless amounts of bonus features, bonus games, jackpot features, multipliers, etc., they are not made for you to earn payouts. Sure, they might be fun, but you can’t keep track of everything that’s happening, and you’re slowly losing your balance. Losing your balance and self when gambling is the next step towards problem gambling and addiction. With the last piece of advice, we wrap up this small guide and hope you will be smart about your gambling and just have fun!

Best Betinia Bonus and Slot Strategies in 2021 published first on https://medium.com/@clubpokeronline via Tumblr Best Betinia Bonus and Slot Strategies in 2021 The beauty of the United Arab Emirates can’t be envisaged as one has to experience natural tourism. UAE has been widely popular amongst the elite or middle-class people worldwide, and since it is forging ahead on boosting its tourism - land-based casinos come to mind. But the questions persist - whether gambling is legal or illegal in UAE? Unlike other countries, UAE doesn’t hold a state of flux as gambling is banned in the entire United Arab Emirates. In contrast, there have been ongoing notions and rumors amongst Dubai citizens that Dubai will soon enroll in gambling licenses. In short, Dubai might consider legalizing online casinos. However, the Dubai Media office clarified the notion through a tweet that read, “The Government of Dubai Media Office stated that reports circulating in social media about licenses being granted for gambling activities in the emirate are incorrect.” Why is gambling illegal in the UAE?As the United Arab Emirates goes by Islamic laws, one can’t turn gambling legal. According to Islam, any game of chance or gambling activity is considered a sin or curse. Hence, legalizing gambling in UAE and the most famous tourist attractions like Dubai is next to impossible. Any form, either online or offline, is not allowed in UAE, and the casinos’ advertisements are also banned. As per the laws, UAE prohibits gambling! But, you might be wondering why there are certain land-based casinos such as Fairmont Hotel? One can understand this with an example - suppose Saad doesn’t practice dance because he believes it doesn’t suit him. Would he disallow his sister to open a dance studio just because he doesn’t like it? The best part of UAE is it understands the requirements of everyone! UAE has changed its focus from entirely being into oil production to tourism. While promoting healthy tourism, one must be given access to all the facilities. Hence, the brick-and-mortar casinos are present at certain hotels. State of online casinos in UAE?As we mentioned earlier, UAE prohibits any form of gambling, but it also experiences certain grey areas. One can place a bet on a few sports such as racing, but with higher limitations. Also, UAE as well bans online gambling. Here comes the catch - one can still play at any offshore casino that accepts players from the UAE. The regularization of those casinos that hold the license of foreign authorities is still unclear - UAE authorities are yet to bring a stringent law on this part. However, one should ensure that the online casino should be based in a foreign country and holds a foreign authority’s license. How can one play at an offshore online casino in UAE?Seeing the interest of UAE domiciles, many online casinos have indulged in allowing UAE players to practice. The best way to play at any offshore casino is through VPA or a virtual proxy network. A VPN will show a different location, and one can’t track IP addresses; many online casino players use this to maintain their complete privacy. Also, it is entirely safe and secure to play at any offshore online casino because the UAE laws haven’t specified this part alone. One should ensure that the casino doesn’t come from Dubai or any UAE locations. One shouldn’t ignore the fact that these offshore casinos often cheat many players because of zero involvement of the government. Hence, one should consider certain factors while questing for the offshore casino for all slot, table, or live dealer games! LicenseEnsure that the casino you choose holds a separate license from foreign authorities such as the Malta Gaming Authority. These licenses ensure that the casinos meet all gaming standards and no casino can conduct fraudulent activities. To learn more about which offshore casino can be best for you, visit topuaecasinos.com. You can find everything related to foreign casinos, games, licenses, etc. Payment methodsMany Dubai players choose cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin as payment methods because it keeps their identity anonymous. Software provider, encryption, etc.If the gaming software is good, your gaming experience will also be good. So, make sure to choose a casino that comes with a great gaming experience and software providers like NetENT. Most of the famous and trustworthy casinos use SSL encryption technology. Customer reviewsDon’t choose a casino with many lousy customer reviews because these reviews act as a mirror of the casino. Make a list of factors you would like to have, such as games, and then compare the casino with customer reviews. Final wordsThough gambling is still illegal in UAE, one can play without any worries at an offshore casino. One can maintain privacy by using bitcoin as one of the payment methods at an offshore casino.
