One of the most common criticisms you will find levied at a mobile casino is that it will often have a smaller selection of games than its online-based counterpart. The reasons for this are many 
and varied. Some older games are simply not written in a language or style that allows them to be easily converted to mobile, other games are perhaps bit too complicated to accommodate on a smaller mobile screen.
Whatever the reason, this has often meant that if you wanted to play at a mobile casino, then you would have to accept a smaller choice of games than you would get at a standard online casino. You still have a huge choice of games to play, just not as many as at the standard casino.
That certainly used to be the situation but now things are changing. As an increasing number of casino players use their mobile devices to play slot games, casino games and indeed many other online entertainments, almost every major release is now mobile-compatible.
Not only that, but there are an increasing number of games that will ONLY work on the mobile platform.
Earlier this year, Bet365 Vegas has released three such mobile-only games which players can access from their smartphone and tablet, but not from their desktop PC. So how do these new mobile-only slot games shape up? We’re going to take a brief look at each of them below to explore them in more detail.
Elements The Awakening
This first slot is by NetEnt, the company whose deal with Bet365 led to the setting up of the Bet365 Vegas site in the first place. The company are well known in the industry for developing high 
quality slots with outstanding production values and the Elements The Awakening mobile slot is a perfect example of this.
The broad theme of the slot is the four different elements; earth, air, fire and water. The game is set against very dramatic backdrop with a volcano spewing lava on the right of the screen, while on the left hand side of the screen are snowy-capped mountains and at the foot of the mountains is a shimmering blue lake.
The slot has 5×3 reels and a total of 20 non-selectable paylines in play. Spins start at just £0.20 but you can increase them up to £100 per spin and there is a jackpot to play of 150,000 coins. That is plenty of money to win for even higher jackpot players.
The game features a Free Falls bonus, which means that when you trigger a winning payline, the winning symbols comprising it will disappear and symbols from above, or new symbols from off the reels, will fill in the void. This offers you an additional chance of a win on every winning spin. If you can trigger four additional Free Fall wins from a single spin, then you will trigger 10 free spins.
What Free Spins bonus you get depends on the element that triggered the spin. There are Fire Storm Wilds, Air Storm Wild, Earth Storm Wild and Water Storm Wild bonuses on each of the bonus rounds and each has a slightly different Wild-themed bonus in play for all your free spins.
Elements The Awakening is a fast, fun and enjoyable slot to play that is easy to follow and still hugely enjoyable on a mobile device, yet still retains all the high quality graphics and animations you have come to expect from a NetEnt release.
Wild Water
The Wild Water mobile slot is a rather nice game and is based on a surfing theme, but to give it an additional twist, it is also set in the late 1960’s, early 1970’s period when Flower Power was all the rage. Once again designed by NetEnt, this features, plenty of stacked symbols, as well as an abundance of bonus features.
The 5×3 reels have a total of 20 paylines in play on each spin and you can wager more than one coin on each payline by increasing the Level from 1 to 10 (each level represents an additional coin wagered on each payline). That means you can wager from £0.20 up to £100 per spin and means the slot is perfectly suited to mobile slot fans of all bankroll sizes.
Each of the five surfer symbols on the reels are stacked and these symbols are used in two base game bonuses, Surf’s Up Bonus sees you in with a chance of winning 20x your stake, while the Surf Team Bonus offers you a chance to win 200 times your stake, if you can get all five surfers to cover all five reels on a single spin.
Land three or more scatter symbols across the reels and you can win between 15 free spins up to 60 free spins if you land five of the scatters across the reels. During this bonus, the Shark Wild symbol will expand to cover the entire reel wild when it is landed in the free games. Land several of these Wild symbols during free spins and you can win some big prizes, up to 2,000 times
your stake.
Wild Water is a simple, fun and enjoyable slot that is perfectly suited to mobile gaming and is available at Bet365 Vegas Mobile right now.
Magic Portals
The Magic Portals slot is another NetEnt release and features a total of 5×3 reels, with 25 non-selectable paylines to play. You can play from 25p up to £250 per spin and there is a maximum win of 64,000 coins to play for. It’s a medium to low volatility slot and is based on the theme of magic and mysticism, in particular portals which can transport you to far away realms.
Like most NetEnt slots, it has been presented superbly and none of the high quality of the original desktop version has been lost in the mobile game. As a lower variance slot, particularly when played for smaller amounts of money, it is a game that rewards players relatively frequently, but with smaller wins, so it is more suited to players that prefer this type of slot.
The way the Magic Portals slot uses Wild symbols is also different to other games. On screen there are two Portals and if equal types of symbols fall on both portals, then it turns all other examples of those symbols on the reels Wild. In a similar vein, you need to land the Free Spins scatter symbol on both the portals in order to trigger the free spins bonus feature.
Once you trigger the Free Spins bonus, you get 10 free spins and extra portals appear on the screen giving you the chance of turning more symbols wild on each of your free spins.
Magic Portals actually looks and sounds far more complex than it actually is to play and with regular payouts, it is a game you can enjoy for a lengthy session without it taking too big a bite out of your bankroll.
