Analyst house Gartner predicts Android will increase its market share to 14% of the global smartphone market in 2012, surpassing Windows Mobile, Blackberry and iPhone smartphone devices. Android is the operating system behind some of the market’s most popular mobile phones including the Google Nexus One, HTC Desire and Motorola Droid.
Spin3’s games have been developed to work across all versions of Android, enabling its clients to bring its cutting-edge games to the growing number of customers using Android powered devices. Blackjack is now available as a native Android app, and will soon be followed by the Spin³’s entire, award-winning games portfolio.
“The buzz around Android is staggering,” said Matti Zinder, head of Spin3. “The phones and experience is comparable to that of the iPhone, and the platform is rapidly growing in popularity with developers and consumers. Our games will work on any Android phone and will be future-proofed to support all upcoming versions of the operating system. Android has more momentum than any other platform and is driving the increased sales of smartphones.”
Zinder continued: “We are committed to developing the most advanced games for the best and most popular platforms in the market. That is why we were the first to launch play-for-real games for the Apple iPhone, and now we have developed our games as native apps for Android powered devices. We’re really pleased with how we’ve adapted some of our most popular games, and are sure our clients’ mobile customers will enjoy them too.”
All Slots Mobile Casino will be the first client to launch the games as both play-for-fun and play-for-real native apps. The games can be downloaded for free from the Android Market by searching for All Slots Mobile Casino. The native Android apps will be rolled out to other Spin3 clients in the coming weeks.
David Brickman, VP Player Affairs at All Slots Casino, added: "Our strong partnership with Spin3 enables us to offer our customers the most dynamic and entertaining casino games on the market’s latest platforms. It’s a winning combination that has helped us grow our customer base and mobile casino business. A successful mobile casino business needs to support Android – and we are delighted to be able to meet this demand.”
