(IT-NEWSWIRE.COM, March 18, 2015 ) New Haven, CT -- Industry experts believe that with more and more people going online using their smartphones, online casino operators would produce and distribute mobile apps to reach out to more gamers.
Smartphone Usage Up
In 2014, Nielsen reported that more than two-thirds of mobile phone subscribers in the United States now use smartphones. It added that consumer usage of smartphones is gradually shifting, with people preferring to use their smartphones for entertainment purposes.
The same company reported that the average American spends around 34 hours weekly on smartphone apps, while the average Briton spends an eye-popping 41 hours on their mobile devices.

Spending on Mobile Games
App tracking service, App Annie even reported that spending on mobile casino games for iOS expanded 55 percent in November 2014 from November 2013, proof that gamer`s are going wild on digital gambling particularly on casino apps. In terms of downloads, casino apps on the iOS grew by 10 percent.

The mobile casino game market is estimated to be worth almost $3 billion, and it is expected to grow further as other countries such as Australia and United Kingdom open their doors to real-currency gambling.
In Europe, the mobile gaming sector is said to be generating revenues of £73 million per annum and helping create more than a quarter of a million new jobs.
Key Expansion Channel
This development would also likely mean that online gambling companies would be focusing less on web-based social networks such as Facebook, which people these days use more for networking.
App Annie believes that mobile apps provide a key expansion avenue for online gambling companies, and can considerably fuel the growth of the online gambling industry.
Aside from the increasing usage of smartphones and tablets, one of the reasons why gaming apps are becoming popular among gamers is personalization. Gamers can download a gaming app that they are interested in, like a poker app, instead of going to an online casino website that offers different games. Moreover, smartphones are a lot convenient since gamer`s can play their favorite casino games anywhere they are as long as they have an
