Mobile Phone Gaming – Everything that it’s cracked up to be?

I’ve been doing a bit of investigating about how to play a few games on my cell phone.

These new generation mobile phones connect quickly and easily to the internet and seem to have caused a huge increase in mobile phone gaming. But it seems to me that there are some advantages and disadvantages to balance up. I read that its one of the fastest growing forms of gambling worldwide. Some experts are even saying that mobile gaming will be what saves the casinos through this financial crisis.

So how good is mobile phone gaming actually? Downloading the software to your phone to play blackjack, roulette or video poker appears to be easy and is really no different to how you would do it at home on your desktop computer.  Plus, you can play from any location (provided you have mobile phone coverage of course) even if you don’t have access to a computer.  Games on the mobile, however, don’t offer the same functionality but the level of playability and graphics seems pretty good to me.  Also, you won’t find all the game versions that you might play online. Perhaps there’s only one way for me to find out …

I guess we’ll just have to wait and see if cell phone gambling really is the ‘next generation of online gambling’. Anyone else out there tried it? Or should I just stick to my home computer?
