Jackpot City has announced that mobile casino gaming in Sweden is booming and that the boom is being driven by increasing sales of smartphones in the country. Currently 51% of Swedish citizens have a smartphone, and 75% of them use their smartphones for Internet access every day.

The most popular phones in Sweden are the Apple iPhone along with Android phones, such as the Samsung Galaxy. These latest phones have high quality large touch display screens, which makes interacting with websites through the phones’ built in web browsers easy to accomplish; so easy in fact that 84% of mobile Internet users access the web on their phones while engaged in other activities such as watching TV.

The latest smartphones are also very powerful with very fast processors and graphics accelerators, which mean that even graphically sophisticated mobile casino games can be played. While online gaming using fixed desktop computers has been a popular activity for some time, the ability to access an online casino such as Jackpot City (have a look at their website at
