CasinoPhone technology provides physical casinos the ability to offer their adult consumers access to their favorite casino games 24x7 via the mobile platform of their choice while enforcing responsible adult m-gaming practices. Said Mr. William Donne, director of business development, “CasinoPhone is a fully functioning casino carrying your casino brand in your consumers’ pocket. If your think your casino customers would like to continue to bet on the horses, play classic casino card games or just try their luck on slot machines once they leave your casino, now they can. All they now have to do is download the games from your website on to their mobiles, and once they purchase your prepaid gaming card, they are ready to play " Casino Phone Technologies' prepaid cards system is bound by the same security and accounting best practices currently employed within the casinos today. This eliminates problem gambling and prevents access to minors since distribution is controlled by the casino using their existing rules and regulations. "<br /><br />This isn't the first gambling application for your Smartphone and I'm sure it won't be the last. However it is the first that I would feel comfortable playing. I'm not much of a gambler, but if I was to wage a couple coins, I would feel much better knowing that the mobile game was connected with my favourite casino and had the same security and accounting practices. I have read a couple stories about problems with collecting winnings from online casinos.
