IPhone Casinos Vs. Android Casinos

Smartphones are much more than a means of making calls, texting and checking emails. Games and apps are huge, both with iPhone and Android. Apple is considered the pioneer by many when it comes to games and apps, but Android has become a serious competitor-and favorite to many.

By and large, the most popular games and apps on both platforms are casino games.

Serious gamblers might think to choose a new smartphone based largely on the casino game apps available. Two of the top 10 apps on Android are casino, so the popularity is evidence. Whether or not a game or app is "better" than another is often up to personal taste.

App creators know that they need to have their games available on every platform, so strides are made to ensure the apps are identical regardless of the platform.

Android Choice Picks

Google acquired Android in 2005 and since then the popularity of casino games have taken off. Top picks for Android include All Slots Casino, rated number one by Casino Online. There are more than 500 gaming options and a sweet welcome bonus just for mobile users.

Also a favorite is 32 Red Casino, which was named the "best casino of the decade" in 2010 by CasinoMeister.

William Hill Casino is a great choice for traditionalists, since the company has been creating entertainment-though not on mobile phones of course-for over 70 years. Finally, Slotland's mobile casino is a staple and one of the longest-running online casinos of all.

For iPhone Fanatics

Unsurprisingly, there's a lot of overlap of the "best" between Android and iPhone. However, mFortune Casino is a favorite of Apple fans and this online mobile casino earned the Best Mobile Product Award by EGR in 2012. Royal Vegas Casino is another top pick and is touted for excellent customer service.

Slotland, 23 Red Casino and All Slots Casino are also repeatedly on the most popular list for iPhone. When it comes to deciding between the two major platforms, players can rest assured that no matter what they choose, online casinos will be waiting.

Does it Matter?

Most people already have a preference of Android or iPhone. Since app developers know how important responsive design is, basing a decision solely on online casinos probably won't make much of a difference. Instead, players should choose a platform and a device that they enjoy gaming with best.

This might include a larger screen or a longer battery life depending on personal gaming style.
