      For\n quite a while now, people are using their mobile devices to browse the \ninternet, shop for the latest tech, clothes, and entertainment streaming\n services. That is why it is no surprise that mobile gaming is becoming \nvery popular and outstripping desktop gaming. According to \nstatcounter.com in January 2021 Mobile use took up 55% in comparison to \nDesktop at 41% and Tablet 2% worldwide, this can also translate to \nmobile gaming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The biggest reason for this is the convenience \nmobile devices offer players. They are a lot smaller and easier to use \nwhilst on the go. This means that you can enjoy your favourite slot \ngames and the mobile optimised versions of classic casino games wherever\n you are.

However, you will have to make peace \nwith the fact you will be only able to play one game at a time when \nusing a mobile device. This is one of the biggest flaws of mobile gaming\n that players have found, but they are able to accept this trade off due\n to the ease and convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Pros of Mobile Gaming<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Pros of Mobile Gaming<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        • \tNot as big of a screen \t<\/li>
        • Restriction to \ta single game at a time <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          It\n is not easy to determine which platform is better to play on, as each \ngamer will have their own preferences for various reasons, some of which\n can\u2019t be quantified or explained. The fact that desktop players also \nuse mobile and vice versa tells you all you need to know. It\u2019s worth \nnoting that processing capabilities which are applicable to both mediums\n can vary depending on the model or specs of the given mobile or \ndesktop, this can have an influence for the end user. With the recent \ntrend of some modern flagship smartphones having as much if not more \nfunctionality and processing power in comparison to some PC\u2019s it\u2019s worth\n seeing how this develops moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Each player will choose\n to play at whatever platform they feel comfortable using for whatever \nreason they want to at the time, it can be argued that each of the \nmediums could be a part of their nature. It is impossible to say that \none of these platforms will become obsolete any time soon. In all \nfairness, mobile gambling has seen higher growth in recent years, due to\n exponential technological advances. This supports the theory that \nmobile gambling will only grow in popularity as time moves forward.This \nis not to say that PC gaming will die out, lets not forget that some of \nus are creatures of habit and will stick to what we know best. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1871","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news_info"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mariomayhem.com\/bowsers_blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1871","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mariomayhem.com\/bowsers_blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mariomayhem.com\/bowsers_blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mariomayhem.com\/bowsers_blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mariomayhem.com\/bowsers_blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1871"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.mariomayhem.com\/bowsers_blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1871\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1873,"href":"https:\/\/www.mariomayhem.com\/bowsers_blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1871\/revisions\/1873"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mariomayhem.com\/bowsers_blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1871"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mariomayhem.com\/bowsers_blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1871"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mariomayhem.com\/bowsers_blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1871"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
