Casino games have sure come a long way. Once upon a time, if you wanted to play casino games, you had to actually go and travel to a real casino. Then, about a decade ago, they came up with the idea of the online casino. That meant you could stay home and open up your computer and enjoy the same games at home as you would play in the casino.
Now we have the latest thing: mobile casino games that you can play on your mobile phone, iPhone, or iPod Touch.
The best mobile casino games that I have found are at All Slots Mobile Casino. It has a nice selection of the most popular games, like roulette, blackjack, and six different slot machines. It also has some other games that I am less familiar with, like baccarat and keno, but I intend to check them all out.
Another thing about mobile casino games is that you can play them for free or you can play them for real money. Of course, the theme of this blog from the very beginning has been free mobile games, so naturally I started off playing the games in Demo mode. (That’s what they call it when you play the games for free.) After a while, though, I wanted to see what it was like to play them in real-money mode, so I gathered up my courage and opened an account with the casino.
Well, I deposited 40 pounds into my brand new mobile casino account, the casino gave me another 40 pounds as a Welcome Bonus, and I started playing the mobile roulette game. I mostly bet on 27 because that’s my birthday, and I also made some bets on the 25-26-27 “Street,” on the 3rd Dozen, and on the Odd numbers. I played for about an hour and a half, and when I was finished, I had 83 pounds in my casino account.
Mobile roulette was a lot of fun to play. There is suspense as you decide how you want to place your bet, and then the suspense builds as the roulette wheel spins around and you wait to see if your bet is a winner. Mobile roulette is a game that I recommend to all adults to play and have fun.

Mars Invasion
Mars Invasion is a great, fun mobile game that can be downloaded to your cell phone or PDA. In fact, it is one of the best free games I have played. That's because it's incredibly addictive. Unlike most free games, the levels just keep coming and coming, each one getting harder and harder.
The concept is simple. You are invading Mars. You have to capture a certain percent of the territory to move up to the next level. On the first level, you need to conquer eighty percent of the area. By the ninth level, that percentage has been increased to the almost impossible eighty-six percent.
While you are going around conquering area, the Martians are fighting back. Every level, there is one more Martian you are faced with fighting. So on level nine, you are facing nine separate enemies, all intent in reclaiming the land you have conquered already. That is what makes the game so challenging. At one time, you are just two percent away from finishing the level. Then the Martians come along and all of a sudden you are ten percent back.
You start off with three lives. After level four, you earn an additional life for every level you conquer. If you spot a special power-up, drive over it and you can gain a turbo boast or even slow the Martians down with a freeze ray. But be careful, these effects are only temporary. At any time, the Martians come back to life with a vengeance.
A great strategy is to create traps for the Martians and divide and conquer. Keep them apart and you will have an easier time conquering territory. Otherwise, there will be just too many of them in a small space for you to do any serious damage. Conquer small bits of territory at a time, it is a much safer than going for a quick win (although quick wins are more satisfying.)

Metal Ball
Metal ball is a fun mobile game that you can download for free and play wherever you want. All you need is a cell phone with gaming option, PDA, or any other type of hand-held that supports gaming. The game combines, graphics, music, and strategy to provide an addictive form of entertainment.
There are many, many levels. On the first level, all you need to do is move a little, metal ball with the arrow keys, along a track that is both flat and straight. Level one is very easy and in no way prepares you for what is to come. Level two throws a few variations in, the track goes around a few corners, but still nothing fancy. You can handle it.
The real fun stuff comes about around level five. By this time you are going along a track that has ramps going up and down, sudden changes of direction, and places where the track is hardly wider than the ball. If you miss the edge, you fall into the abyss. You will then be restarted from the same track, just further back.
The soundtrack of the game is one of those post modern keyboard pieces that are for some reason soothing to the ear. It is much better than most of the grinding synthesized generated stuff that normally pulses throughout games like these. The designers actually found a piece of music that complements rather than detracts from the game play.
A good strategy is to always try and stay in the center of the track. You give yourself a few precious seconds that way when you see an obstacle is approaching. Play with two fingers and always angle the direction of the ball. Pressing up and left for example, sends the ball to the Northwest. The more you play, the more you will get the hang of it.
