Leisure on the Internet. New horizons of virtual recreation

Published as an advertisement With the development of the market of mobile phones and tablet computers, the gaming industry quickly adjusted to the new conditions, and began to rapidly develop a new direction - the creation of bright gaming applications for portable electronics. What did it give the owners of mobile gadgets? Of course, now we can talk about expanding the possibilities and territory of virtual leisure, which is no longer limited to the space of an apartment or an Internet club. Today, in order to take part in multiplayer strategies or visit the site of slot machines www.club-volcano.com , it is not at all necessary to hide from the authorities behind the disclosed working Word and Excel applications. It is enough to go to the nearest cafe where there is Wi-Fi, and plunge headlong into the familiar atmosphere of virtual battles.

At the same time, many applications are able to work offline, which allows the user to emotionally entertain almost anywhere. Suffice it to recall how popular the legendary "Angry Birds" or "Farm" are, which today are rightfully considered hits in the mobile gaming applications market.

It is this sector, according to experts, that in the near future will seriously replace the traditional gaming industry of the Web, which has dominated the Internet for the past 15 years. Such predictions have a serious basis - already today such well-known companies as 1C, Microgaming, AIGRIND, Vulkan, Playtech, RTG have switched to the development of gaming software for mobile phones and PDAs. Therefore, it is this direction that is the most promising, both in terms of extracting additional profits and in terms of brand promotion in a highly competitive environment.

The described phenomenon also has a downside, which is the real danger of endemic mobile gambling, especially among children who today play uncontrollably on their iPhones at school and at home. The availability of various applications makes it difficult to control, and access to the tool used for such entertainment often cannot be limited. So it turns out that when games could only be played on a computer, the child received 1-2 hours of entertainment as a reward for good grades. Now the situation has changed - children play everywhere and in everything, and this seriously worries both parents and teachers, and child psychologists.
