Figures show increase in mobile betting in 2011

The numbers are in from 2011, and mobile sports betting has quickly become 50 percent of the global gaming marketplace. Online casinos need to gear up for a mobile betting addition to the industry, as there is no sign of it slowing down, according to Business Insider.

Sports mobile betting is convenient for players and is an easy way for them to access any bet. This trend of betting and gambling will not slow down anytime soon, as tablets and smartphones continue to reduce in price and increase in quality. However, the online casino industry in which players wager at home on their computers is also growing rapidly.

So, online casinos may want to incorporate online roulette, blackjack and poker to their mobile gaming software. This way, people will be able to not only do their sports betting online, but they will be able to play their favorite casino games as well.

Do you play any of your casino favorites on a smartphone or tablet? Would you rather bet on your phone or on your computer?
