Facebook made an announcement a few weeks ago that they will shortly be releasing bingo and casino games where players can stake real money. I'm curious to know if these apps will only available online or will Facebook also extend them to iPhones, Androids and iPads
i'm sure they will but if you are based in the united states you can forget about it. the apps will only be released in specific countries that have very liberal gambling laws. don't expect to be playing casino games on your iphone anytime soon in the old usa.
Of all the apps on my iPhone I think the Facebook app is the worst. It is constantly freezing and crashing. If they can't get a simple feed right I really don't know how anyone expects them to develop a decent Bingo and Casino app.
Considering these Facebook casino games were released a couple of years ago I've heard very little about them since. You certainly can't play any the of slots or blackjack games from the iPhone or Android Facebook app which is a little disappointing.
Atari, the Japanese games company from the eighties, just announced that they are releasing a range of real-money social casino apps for Facebook. Many of them would be based on their classic arcade games like Missile Command and would also be available online and on iOS/Android devices. http://forums.iphonebettingapps.com/showthread.php?592-Atari-casino-games-launch-on-iOS-and-Android
888 Casino which is one of the biggest online casinos in the world withdrew most of their real money casino apps from Facebook this year. If one of the biggest casino operators failed to make a success of real money Facebook casino games, I can't see how less well know brands will succeed.
I expect that Facebook will eventually launch some Oculus Rift virtual reality casinos in the next 5 years. If they do, I'll be the first person taking a seat at the blackjack table.
I don't think Facebook will develop a virtual reality casino themselves but some of the games developers for Oculus Rift are bound to recreate a smokey poker room or sleazy casino in VR.
I think this will only be exclusive to their facebook website. Their apps on the facebook site has dramatically decline over the year. If it happens that they will offer this to our Iphone it would take sometime before we can play this one.
Thank you for setting up this forum. I hope it will be well utilized. Mobile is usually the only way I operate. I am about about one third of the way to DXCC, and half way to WAS, with call contacts from my car. I am frequently working on improving performance. This forum can be a great source for learning.
