Gambling, playing video games or watching movies on a tiny screen is so absurdly uncomfortable and inconvenient, it borders on the masochistic. Honestly, I prefer real life gambling over online gambling but sometimes, online gambling can be fun too because it can offer things that real life casinos do not/can not.
but phones are really the wrong medium for it either way.
It does feel more serious when you are viewing a large screen and using many buttons to delegate your actions.
I sometimes wonder why people are starting to shift away from computers/laptops and adapt more to smaller, mobile devices.
Maybe you are a rich kid that grows up with personal computers and laptops? And even though you got a high end mobile phone, you are mainly using them the way they originally intended which is for doing phone calls and send texts messages. Desktop/lappy users will never understand the joy of the mobile users even though one of the obvious reason is that it's portable and they can carry it anywhere.
The comparison between online and offline gambling are also close to what we talked about earlier. It also has to do with with conveniences. We can't just simply forced someone who are already used to the other to try the other as that may not work.
