[The Buzz]

According to consulting firm H2 Gambling Capital, online gambling generated 25 billion euro or more than 33 billion U.S. dollars in 2012. This was a 7.2% jump from 2011.

It's just going to get bigger and bigger. It seems that everywhere I go, whether it's to the shopping center, or the school to pick up my kid, or almost anywhere, someone is always swiping their finger across a tablet or smartphone screen. Even when they're on a pedestrian crossing, they'll be walking slowly while texting, and I'll be in the car patiently waiting for them to cross, and trying to control my breathing

I was hoping to not have to say this but since I love you all so much and I want us all to succeed, expect for the new guys... just kidding...

My numbers on the mobile scene are unbelievable. The word currently holds a lot of intention behind it. The person seeking info for that search is trying to find out where it can happen, and if they do, it is now installed and ready to go on their phone or tablet. Sort of like combining a downloadable casino and instant play.

I believe people also think that because it has an app or works on the iPhone beautifully, it must be the real thing, or professional.

Finally, some people live a life where they are not truly free and they have to hide some of the things they love to do from their young ones, family member, or even friends. I have no shame in saying I love to gamble, but many people do. It is their right to gamble in complete privacy and mobile casinos can help them to achieve that.

This.

I cannot tell you how much it drives me absolute MAD when someone is walking along a very busy sidewalk with their head down in their phone, and when THEY bump into YOU, who has tried swerving them but to no avail because they are not even walking in a straight line, they look at you as if
YOU should watch where you are going.

One day. One day I will go nuts at someone who does this.

Get off your phone and walk! You'll get there quicker and then you can play on your phone all you want! FFS!

Not surprised that mobile is booming. Pretty much everyone will be surfing the net on smartphones and tablets eventually and makes sense that online purchases and activities like online gambling will get a larger share on mobile devices.

But yeah it makes it hard to see obstacles like steps and water fountains while texting
