MOBILE BINGO
The fast-paced evolution of communications technology has made it possible to play bingo with a mobile phone. Many mobiles allow you to access web sites at broadband speed in all of their Java-enabled glory, and if you have one that does this you should be able to play mobile bingo wherever and whenever you please. You could even play at your favorite UK bingo site from a holiday destination overseas if you wanted to. Mobile Bingo, developed by Techno Wing, allows consumers to play a Bingo game on their cell phone while shopping at a retail store.
Mobile gaming is already popular among online casino players who want to play games whilst on the move – it’s even possible to play poker on mobiles. Mobile phone technology has advanced to the point where you can enjoy some great graphics and sound effects as well as play for real money as well as just for fun!
Total bet already offer a mobile bingo/keno game, but this isn’t the multiplayer game that we all enjoy playing on our PC’s. However, it’s a good sign that the industry is beginning to think about bingo players as they plan mobile game offerings. As technology continues to progress, we predict that a number of things will happen for the benefit of online bingo enthusiasts – here are our top three predictions:
Within three years, a “big name” bingo company will expand its online offering to mobile phone players by setting up a mobile-friendly web-based client. This will allow people to log into a special web page using their normal username and password and play in a java-enabled environment, or something very similar.
Mobile phones will become more and more like pocket computers, and within ten years virtually all mobiles will be at least as powerful as todays more expensive personal digital assistants and video iPods. This will mean that your mobile will be able to offer a rich multimedia experience currently available only on your PC.
Within thirty years, mobile communicators (the word “phone” is so 2020) will be able to project an image the size of a laptop screen onto any surface, making it possible for us to play bingo in full-screen mode whilst we’re on the bus, in bed or even in the bath!
Armed with these three options, travel bingo is something that all of us can enjoy. Play for fun with a box game version, or play for real money via your laptop or mobile phone. Who knows – you might even win some extra holiday spending money!
