Years ago, if you wanted to
play classic card games such as poker or blackjack, you could either gather up
a group of friends at your house or take a trip across the country to play in
an exciting setting. Today, however, thanks to modern technology, we have
access to hundreds of thousands of games in the palm of our hand thanks to the
innovative gaming technology on smartphones.
These days, it is easy to
access popular games
such
as slots, blackjack, and poker on your device. You have the option of
playing for fun, playing for points that can redeem for prizes, or even playing
for real cash. Today, it is estimated that there are more than 164 million
people around the world using their mobile phones and tablets to play classic
and modernized games, and that number is sure to grow as technology continues
to improve.
Why do we stay on our smartphones so much? That question has
been looming over the heads of avid smartphone users for several years now,
even before gaming became so popular. The subject is actually part of many
scientific studies that suggest that playing games on our phones can help calm feelings of
isolation for some people.
Adam Alter, who is the author of the
book Irresistible, which focuses on our compulsion with technology,
stated that playing the Vegas-style games for fun with no real prizes involved
were just as enjoyable to himself and his friends as playing for real
money.
Alter stated that, “Instead of winning money, I would win
small rewards in the form of bells and flashing lights.” And while it
might sound very trivial to some, “In those moments of loneliness, they
scratched a psychological itch.”
So, it’s not just the games
that pay off that we love to play, but basically any game that brings us
happiness and provides us with that small surge of excitement whenever we win.
And, the games are becoming more advanced as time goes on. There is even an
iPhone app available named Toreba that allows you to play an actual claw
machine game to win prizes such as stuffed animals or jewelry.
The app
is free and you get 5 free tries when you sign up. After that, you must pay for
each turn at the claw. If you are fortunate enough to win, the item is shipped
out to you. While it may seem simple and nearly impossible to win, you
can’t deny that it is truly an advancement in virtual
gaming.
It’s hard to say what the future holds for smartphone
owners and those who love to play mobile games. We already have the advantage
of playing classic card games anywhere we go, as long as there is an
Internet connection available. So, enjoy taking a chance to win big while you
are waiting in line at the grocery store, or play for fun against your online
friends while you are waiting for your food at your favorite restaurant.
Playing games on your phone is a great way to pass the time and make life a
little less boring. |
