The online gaming industry ventures far beyond just our desktop computers. With mobile technology progressing at a rapid rate, real money betting on our phones, tablets and Smart TVs is now a reality. Not long ago, back in the early 1990s, the Internet had just developed in to a global network phenomenon courtesy of the World Wide Web. Interactive gambling is starting to become available on wearable devices such as Oculus Rift and iGlass, and even Microsoft’s augmented reality goggles (HoloLens), where views of a physical and real-world environment are supplemented by computer-generated sensory input like video and sound (no screens involved).

Real money blackjack applications

Using our mobiles and tablets, Australians have limited access to real money blackjack apps which can be downloaded via application distributing stores such as Google Play and the App Store, but there are plenty of options for blackjack apps to be created via the Web to minimise the use of software being installed directly on the device (and maximise space). These two distinct types of applications are known as native apps and Web apps.

Native (market) apps

Native apps, also know as market applications, are those which we install directly from our respective applications distributing stores (Apple’s App Store, Android’s Google Play, Window’s Phone Apps + Games Store, etcetera). Native apps can also include non-market applications which also use uniquely designed software for specific operating systems and require installation on the device’s hard drive, but are not accessed from traditional market stores, rather websites or other free and open platforms such as the Amazon Appstore for Android and GetJar. An example of some of these market and non-market applications include:

Market apps:

• Tinder
• What’s App
• Angry Birds
• Words with Friends
• Quizup
• Facebook Messenger

Non-market apps:

• MIUI Music
• TubeMate
• AdAway

So what market or non-market applications are available to Australians to play real money blackjack in AUD currency? The limited number of real money gambling native apps available on Australian app stores is due to restrictions imposed by the federal government, however our online casinos recommended in the table above all provide mobile instant-play platforms where Aussie punters can play real money blackjack on the go from any data-enabled smartphone or tablet device.

Web apps

Web apps, also known as browser-based apps, are an extension of any mobile website and act in a similar fashion to bookmarks on your computers, appearing as app icons on your device’s home screen. The software used is offered over the Internet, and built using browser programming language and technology, such as HTML5, Flash and Java.

As opposed to software being installed directly on your device (which is what a market app does), the Web app relies on a common Web browser to process and render its data, so as soon as you open the app, software begins to download via the Internet in order to operate, but that software does not remain on your device (similar to how a mobile YouTube video is processed when watched on a mobile or tablet).

We can create these apps by opening the desired webpage we want to access via the browser-based app, then accessing our in-browser settings to find the ‘add to home screen’ option. Create a name for the app and it will appear on your home screen, readily available to be opened. Such apps can be accessed across a multitude of different platforms (cross-platform compatibility), as opposed to being designed for a specific operating system (lie native apps). Web apps are offered by hundreds of thousands of sites, including Facebook and Twitter, if you rather not wish to install their native applications.

The following blackjack casinos are all compatible with Web apps; simply tap on any of our links directly from your mobile or tablet device, and then open your settings to create your own browser-based blackjack app.

• House of Jack
• Mucho Vegas
• Emu Casino
• Mongoose Casino
• Casino-Mate
• Raging Bull

Some of the blackjack game variants available within those above casinos include:

Playing 21 legally and securely with real money

As all our recommended blackjack apps are owned by regulated and licensed casinos, each works with at least 128-bit secure socket layer digital encryption technology to safeguard financial transactions and personal information. The casinos are constantly audited by third party interactive gaming testing agencies such as eCOGRA (eCommerce Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance) in order to assure player and gaming fairness standards are met.

Compatible smartphones and tablets

Portable blackjack can be played on all smartphone and tablet makes and models, with newer models benefitting from advances in technology resulting in smoother gameplay and clearer graphics. Mobile and tablet devices which lend themselves to quality real money blackjack gaming include:

• Apple iOS devices such as the iPhone and iPad
• Windows phones and tablets
• BlackBerry mobile phones such as the BlackBeryy Z10 smartphones
• Nokia mobiles such as the Nokia Lumia
• Android OS devices such as the Samsung Galaxy series, the Sony Xperia, the Google Nexus, HTC mobiles, LG, Acer, Asus, Motorola and others
