Technology is advancing at such a rate that science fiction and science fact, are starting to blur into one and the same. Take the history of the phone as an example of the pace of technology. Rewind to the late 1800’s and Elisha Gray and Alexander Graham Bell created a device that could transmit speech electronically. The telephone was born, and it was Bell, not Gray, that cut the umbilical chord and was named as father.

During the Second World War, hand-held radio transmitters were designed to pass messages between the ranks. Then in the 1970s Motorola created the first-hand held mobile phone. It weighted in at 2.5 pounds and measured 9 inches in length. If you remember the movie Wall Street, or the hit TV series Miami Vice, you will remember how big those bricks were.

These days your mobile phone is a highly sophisticated computer. In fact, for some people, using your mobile phone to take and receive calls is one of the most infrequent tasks you undertake. These accessories come in the form of an ‘app’ and the creation of ‘apps’ is big business. You can download anything and everything in an ‘app’ format these days.

The bigwigs in the casino gaming entertainment industry have also joined the ‘app’ phenomenon. As the days fade away, the options for mobile casino gaming increase. International Game Technology (IGT) has recently strengthened it’s mobile gaming platform by announcing the release of Elvis: A Little More Action, Wolf Run and Kitty Glitter. These industry classics are ready to be played on iOS and Android devices.

Just how far technology can go is mindboggling. But for the time being it seems as though mobile gaming is a heavy part of that future.
