Vodafone Joins The Casino Party

Thursday 21st August 2008


News that mobile phone giant Vodafone is set to play a major part in the future of mobile gaming has received a great reception from fans of mobile poker and similar casino games. Vodafone has announced a system which will allow customers to acquire casino credits via their Vodafone handset (the casino credits will be added to customer’s monthly bills) and play a variety of games which will initially be supplied by Wild Jack Mobile Casino – in conjunction with the Spin3 gaming platform.

The ‘payforit’ banking option is set to change the face of mobile casino services in the UK and looks as though it is something which could be rolled out worldwide. There is no doubt that as long as the connectivity to the service is there, the mobile casino market of the future is going to grow and grow. Vodafone has obviously spotted this potential and wants a bit of the early action and a foothold for the future.

What better tie-up for the mobile casino industry than UK giant Vodafone and the award winning Wild Jack Mobile Casino?

This is very much early days for the mobile market but the more heavy weights involved the more chance of substantial investment in new technology and a customer base that is begging to play.
