Why the world needs a casino app

For the gaming fanatic, an all inclusive casino app for your phone is just about as good as it gets. With Ladbrokes casino, the thrill and risk of all gaming has to offer sits in the palm of your hand on 24-hour standby. Here are just some of the perks of playing on the small screen:

Convenience

Gaming has never been easier, or more readily accessible. The ability to play on your phone has created the possibility of playing anytime, anyplace, anywhere. While conventional betting stores, poker rooms and casinos operate within certain hours, gaming on your phone or online is subject to no such restrictions.

Gaming on your mobile is an enjoyable way to pass the time during a crowded commute, frustrating airport delay or tedious lunch hour. A world of entertainment, and the chance to slip off to a virtual Las Vegas, sits literally at your fingertips and is available freely through downloadable apps, such as the Ladbrokes app for iPhone.

Free money

Most mobile betting sites offer generous introductory and sign-up bonuses, which are frequently updated and reviewed. This is a great way to ease into the gaming fraternity and explore all it has to offer. Ladbrokes currently offer a free £25, with no deposit required, on their mobile web casino. What better way is there to play than by using Ladbrokes own money as your opening stake?

Selection

The expansion of the casino app has seen a constant increase in the number of games that can now be played on your mobile. Simply log on to pit your wits against the house in blackjack, dive into the tense world of video poker or take a chance on your favourite roulette game.

With Ladbrokes' casino app, you can also recreate that Ascot atmosphere with some virtual horse-racing, get nostalgic with a bingo bonanza or chance an arm on one of the many slot games.

The vast majority of betting apps will offer full access to your funds, meaning a withdrawal is simply a click away. Ladbrokes customers can also deposit funds or check their balance through their mobile.

As with gaming in person, playing within your means whilst online is a must. Most games will have a play for free, or demo, option, the perfect way to simply enjoy gaming whilst familiarising yourself with the rules and functions with the small screen versions, at no cost to yourself.

With Ladbrokes, punters can expect richly detailed graphics and stress-free, slick game play. Accounts can be easily registered online or you can simply download the game of your choice then register through your phone. The ingenious best match feature will also ensure you are sent the casino most compatible with your mobile.

As all game information is stored on the game server, intrusive phone calls, text messages or a loss of signal does not mean an automatic re-start and loss of a winning position, nor a chance of deficit recovery! The game will simply resume from the point before interruption.

Game downloads are limited simply by the memory space on your phone, while existing accounts can be used with new SIMs or handsets once the casino app has been re-downloaded.

Alternatively, if a larger playing screen is more your thing, all casino games, as well as a wide selection of others, are available to play on your laptop or computer through the Ladbrokes website.

With no downloads necessary, there's no waiting around and punters can immediately get stuck in to the online slots, poker tournaments and sports simulators, to name just a few. Pre-registration, most games have a demo version, giving you the chance to examine each game closely and perhaps develop a winning strategy before parting with any money.

Remember, whether playing online through your computer or downloading a full sized casino into the palm of your hand, while winning may not always be guaranteed, with all this entertainment to hand, hours of enjoyment surely is.
