iPhone to get its first mobile casino

All Slots Casino is claiming to be the first casino provider to offer mobile gambling games for iPhone and iPod touch, via a deal with tech firm Spin3.

The company is using the latter's GameWire system to launch a mobile casino offering play-for-money blackjack, roulette and a licensed Tomb Raider slot machine game available in English or French.

"On both sides of the channel, our customers want to be able to play casino games on the go, as well as at their computers," says David Brickman, the casino's VP of player affairs.

The mobile casino will work on more than 1,200 handsets, but it's the iPhone and iPod touch angle that's likely to grab the headlines.

These versions won't be downloadable games offered through the App Store instead, they'll be online, and optimised for the devices' Safari browser.

"The iPhone offers a mobile gaming experience like no other; and one that is on a par with an online casino," says Spin3 boss Matti Zinder. "As the first company to offer mobile casino games on the iPhone, this is a real coup."
