32Red Mobile Casino Review - My Experience
32Red has a top rep but only now can it's mobile casino compete. The old 32Red mobile casino was, at best, an average affair but the advent of HTML5 games from Microgaming means it finally has a serious mobile casino product that works well on iPads, iPhones and android. Games choice is still growing but service is exemplary.

- 32Red Casino Review »
Back when mobile casino games first started to appear on the old java-based phones, 32Red were among the
first to release them. Having played at 32Red since 2004 I was quick to check them out back then: and just as quick to uninstall them.
In my opinion, you'd have had to have been pretty addicted or pretty bored to play them for long on devices with small screens and
limited capabilities - not to mention haphazard Internet connections. Tablets weren't really around en-masse, the iPhone revolution
wasn't yet in full-effect and even if it had been, the games didn't run on Apple's iOS system anyway. So all-in-all, pretty
disappointing.
I've recently been reviewing mobile casinos on my iPad to see which ones are worth the investment! 32Red have recently "re-launched" the 32Red Mobile Casino using Microgaming's new "GO" platform. This provides HTML5 cross-platform games suitable for today's breed of Android tablets and smartphones, as well as iPads, iPhones and any other Apple products. And it's a whole load better than the original version. In fact, the games themselves (while choice is still limited) are as good as their Flash-based PC counterparts, arguably even better!
In fact, the whole 32Red mobile casino experience is smooth and now, actually fun to play: at least, it is on a tablet. I ran a few on my Galaxy S3 phone and yes they work fine but the limitations of small-screens still make playing for any length of time a bit of a struggle. On the iPad or android tablet though, they really are pretty impressive - far more so than I had hoped for in fact. Setup was dead easy as the games run through the tablet's browser and the layout is very intuitive.
32Red's banking system is fully integrated so no more running to a PC to invoke a cashout and the only real issue left is caused by a retsriction in the technology really: registration forms on phones and tablets have always been - and probably always will be - a bit fiddly using an onscreen keyboard but at least here it is quite a quick process to sign up compared to some forms I've come across.
Talking of comparisons, I've already indicated that 32Red casino itself (a full review here) has an excellent reputation and because the same back-office systems and support staff are behind 32Red mobile casino, the same level of service is there. A 4 hour reverse time which - having been ID'ed - you can ask to be reduced, manual flushing, weekend and even sometimes same-day cashouts - it's all here and is what makes 32Red the standout casino. It's no coincidence that 32Red has won countless industry and player-advocacy awards down the years and is not only one of my top casinos but also similarly lauded by others.
As far as games go, then there is a link above this review that will always show the latest array. The game choices you have are Blackjack, European Roulette, a number of very good slot games like Thunderstruck, Avalon and Mega Moolah plus some single-hand video poker games. Microgaming have committed to launching new games to the mobile product every month so this is growing quite quickly.
The one thing I would say is that it looks as if every Microgaming mobile licensee gets the same games. For example, I have noticed that Royal Vegas mobile casino has exactly the same games as 32Red's mobile casino, as do other mobile casinos, so it depends on what you want. 32Red have the best service and fastest cashouts, while Royal Vegas finds the middle ground and is well-known for it's high-roller VIP loyalty rewards.
