Trends for Online Casino Apps in 2022

online-poker-4518186_640.jpg eveloping online casino apps is a tricky business because everything changes so quickly. This is not only about actually making an app that will be decent and clean enough to use, and safe enough to use for real money gambling. This is also about developing an app individually for an online casino, and this is also about the most complicated criterion - to be able to implement those ever-changing online casino mobile gambling trends.

If we check popular blogs and resources like the Applause platform, we will find a bunch of various trends, like cryptocurrency, virtual reality, esports popularity, and visuals of video games level for casino games, etc. But these are all “big” trends that have little to do with those petty little tasks of improving an online casino mobile app or the practical tasks of deciding what features can make an online casino mobile app better and more functional than those already made by competitors.

Yet if you look at the Casinos Hunter website and especially check the platform’s interviews held with some of the most famous and productive online casino software providers, some interesting insights can be noticed. Many software development studios’ representatives are asked about the online gambling trends they have been noticing for the niche in general, or since the beginning of the year, or they tell a bit more about their own experience with mobile apps, and there are lots of interesting answers that make me think of the real online casino mobile apps trends.

The real online gambling trends for mobile apps seem to have little to do with development trends at first sight, but they turn out important for the end-user and therefore influence the general success of the app as such.

The first trend that is almost a must-have by now is day and night mode, and customization of the screen design and colors depending on the user’s preferences. While this aspect seems trivial it is still not mainstream.

The second trend is the left-hand mode, basically another variation for customization. The world starts to eventually accept the fact that many people are left-handers and while they do have to adapt to the majority of applications, making this aspect customizable for them immediately makes them your fan.

The third trend is a rare one but it can go huge, which means that the developers that start making it a must-have for their apps will start leading the trend. As far as I know, very few software providers allow this for their games, but one can try and implement this trend for the casino app navigation at least. The trend is one finger to rule them all, meaning all the activities and clicks on the app can be done by holding the phone in one hand and using only one finger.
