Mobile gaming is the next big trend in the online gambling world, and online casino operators have spent years trying to gain a head start in the market. Several companies have already created apps for Mac products like the iTouch and iPhone, but they have neglected the second biggest smart phone provider: Blackberry.

Now, a company by the name of American Games has announced that it will be launching a new online gambling application available for Blackberry users. Players will have to sign up for an account at a land-based sportsbetting shop, so as to avoid underage gambling or identity fraud. They will have to provide the proper identification or they will not be granted an account.

Players will then be able to use their Blackberry smart phones to place bets on various sporting events across the world. Betting options include straight bets, parlays and in-game betting. The company is also planning on launching race betting and a fantasy sports program.

Unfortunately, the application is only available to residents in the American state of Nevada – but other online casino operators are already devising plans to launch their own Blackberry applications in other countries. It won’t be long before all smart phones are compatible with online gambling applications.
