Online Casinos Race to Get iPad Apps Ready
25 Mar
The iPad will be making its first appearance in stores on April 3rd and developers are rushing to finish their iPad apps in time for the March 27th deadline. Developers face a huge challenge as the iPad will already be supporting the 150,000 iPhone applications available. This makes sense because this new tablet computer is in many ways just a larger version of the iPhone.
The tablet format of the iPad can create a more realistic casino experience than the iPhone can. They are easier on the eyes but more portable than laptops. The iPad opens doors for a much more interactive online casino gaming experience. As an example, players can push the buttons on the slot machines when playing slots or rub the screen when playing scratch cards. The format of the iPad means that game designers can simulate real casino games and provide a more user friendly experience.
The downside of the iPad tablets is that they still run on the Apple operating system so users won’t be able to use download only casinos. They will be able to use browser based versions but if the iPad grows in popularity it would be in the best interest of online casinos to create download casinos that are Mac friendly.
