Blackjack casino apps for real money
Blackjack casino apps for real money
Current Australian legislation makes it hard for Australian based players to find a true real money casino application that you can download from the app store and save onto your phone. However, you can access the same Web casinos that you would play at from a desktop computer and play legally and safely with real money.
All you have to do is access your favourite online casinos in the Web browser of your smartphone or tablet device. The biggest and best online casinos already have versions of their sites designed for mobile play (Instant Play), and these will be simplified versions of their online casinos that run smoothly from mobile devices.
At present, Royal Vegas Casino is the only real money blackjack provider who offers an actual application (native app) for mobiles and tables that you can download from the app store. The app is called Regal Vegas Casino, but it is run by Royal Vegas Casino, and you can use your existing Royal Vegas Casino log in details.
Online casinos compatible with smartphones and tablet devices
The following Web casinos all have mobile versions of their sites that are compatible with Android smartphones, Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets, iPhones, iPads and other smartphone devices. These virtual casinos have plenty of blackjack variants, have AUD payment options and utilise 128-bit secure socket layer digital encryption technology so you can play real money blackjack safely.
We’d recommend these Web casinos for real money blackjack play via a mobile device:
- Royal Vegas Casino: has a $1200 welcome bonus for new players you redeem through its deposit-match scheme. For regular players there is the Royal Vegas Loyalty Rewards program, which accumulates points as you play.

AUD deposit options
We prefer these casinos because they have Australian dollar banking options so you don’t need to worry about conversion rates or additional fees. The payment types vary from casino to casino but for the most part you can use the following payment options for AUD; Visa debit and credit, MasterCard debit and credit, POLi, Neteller, Skrill, Ukash, direct bank transfers, WebMoney and PaySafe cards.
Blackjack games playable from mobile devices
