Already a highly respected international operator of online and land-based betting services, with a history stretching back over eighty years in the UK, Coral is a name to trust and if you’re thinking of taking the plunge into the wireless world of mobile casino gaming, going with Coral offers essential peace of mind that any real-money betting is in safe hands.
Curiously, like William Hill, its fellow big-name-bookie rival in this fledgling field of mobile casinos, Coral seems somewhat shy about alerting visitors to its website about the mobile casino entertainment it offers. At the time of our review, using the reasonable logic of visiting Coral Casino to find a link to its mobile casino proved fruitless. Not a sausage. A fairly thorough search through other areas of the wider Coral site also failed to turn up the secret entrance for the mobile casino we we’re looking for. Finally resorting to Google flushed out the link we needed. We’re not sure Coral intend for its mobile casino to be so exclusive, and to save you some effort (if Coral have not solved the ‘missing link’ problem by the time you read this) you’ll find a direct link included with this review.

Once you have located Coral’s elusive mobile casino entrance you’ll find a nice clear introduction to getting started and a prominent promotion of a free £5 bet to get you reaching for your phone. Further published user guides are available and easy to find, making it easy to bone-up on the technical essentials and game rules necessary to smooth the path of most newcomers to putting some Coral Casino action into their handset. ’Some’ is the operative word here, since if you’re expecting to enjoy the full range of casino classics miniaturised for mobile mores, you’ll be rather disappointed with the selection of five games. Of these five, none cover table games except perhaps ‘Dice Roll’, which is like a super-simplified Sic Bo. There is a Slots game, but there’s still some way to go before this suite of mobile games could be considered ‘casino’ rather than ‘arcade’ in our opinion. The games play perfectly well, but if you get your casino kicks from traditional games with elements of skill and/or multiple betting options these games are unlikely to set your Samsung alight.
The fairest way to assess if the Coral Mobile Casino experience is for you is to try the games for yourself and we must praise Coral for making this as simple as it can be. All the games can be downloaded and played for free (although network charges may apply for getting the games into your phone, depending on your phone contract) without signing up for an account with Coral. If you like what you play and want to wager some real-money, creating and funding an account is easy and secure, and if you already have an account with Coral then you’re ready to go straight away. Once you are onboard with Coral, ongoing customer service is very good and extremely comprehensive with e-mail, fax, freephone, callback and messaging channels in addition to the option of visiting one of its high-street shops too! Full marks to Coral for that.

We already have a soft spot for Coral’s online casino, so we’d love to whole-heartedly endorse its mobile casino as a triumph of wireless wagering, however we have to express some disappointment that the current selection of games didn’t especially float our gaming boat: we’re not keen on Keno and guessing on coin tosses feels a bit low-rent to us. Bar our comments about the choice of games, Coral does deliver its mobile product really well and we think it’s a great choice if you’re looking to explore wagering via your phone. We look forward to seeing how Coral develops this arm of its casino gaming, and with especially bated breath for news that the line-up of games is to be expanded with more casino classics like Blackjack and Roulette.
