Overview of the William Hill Casino Mobile App

A Closer Look at the Mobile Game Selection

The operator provides in the region of 250 Playtech games within its Casino collection, and an enormous 400+ casino games combined from various developers across the Casino, Vegas and Games sections of their website. Yet when it comes to the mobile selection, the choice is smaller. The casino app provides around 170 games to choose from, in addition to the live dealer games. Also, all mobile games can be played for real money only. Nevertheless, you can still access all other parts of William Hill’s gaming empire with links to Bingo, Macau, Vegas or Scratchcards.

The bulk of the mobile casino game collection is made up of slots. These include popular games such as Halloween Fortune, Great Blue and Cat Queen. Among the slots, there are 16 jackpot games, including Frankie Dettori’s Magic Seven Jackpot, Everybody’s Jackpot and Gladiator Jackpot. There is also a good selection of the brand new Age of the Gods jackpot slot series, with titles like God of Storms or Prince of Olympus. There is also an assortment – though smaller than slots – of table and card games to choose from. Roulette fans have around 10 options, including Premium European Roulette and Age of the Gods Roulette. There are 10 card game tables, with Premium Multihand, Blackjack Switch and the classic version of the popular game as few examples, in addition to Casino Hold’em and baccarat. Jacks or Better Video Poker is also available, as are several scratch cards such as Pink Panther and Rocky.

This operator has an outstanding collection of live casino games, which are provided by the market leader Evolution Gaming. The majority of the games are also available on the web-based app and in a dedicated Live Casino download app, which is available for iPad and iPhone. Players can enjoy numerous roulette variants, including the award-winning Immersive Roulette. There is also a wide offer of blackjack tables. The game collection also comprises several baccarat tables and Casino Hold’em, as well as the newly-minted Dream Catcher live game. Another highlight of the live casino is the wide variety of betting limits available across tables.

Functionality and Usability Put Under the Microscope

Whether you play the William Hill mobile casino games within the browser or through the downloadable app, you will see that the layout of the casino games is identical across both platforms. It is easy to scroll through the game selection with the swipe of your finger. At the top, logically, the most popular games are listed. The other categories include Recently Played, Slots, Table Games, Card Games, Jackpots, New and Favourites. There is a search functionality, which gives you a quick and easy way to find a specific game. Within the navigation bar, there are the usual account options, such as deposits, withdrawals and game history. There are also quick links to promotions, customer service and the various other products provided by the operator, like Live Casino, Bingo and Vegas. Each game is listed with a small picture, the name of the game, a small icon showing the type of game, and also the jackpot amount is displayed on progressive slots. All further details about the games, like the rules and the betting limits can be accessed once you launch the game. Games are started with a simple tap, and they load quickly, depending on the speed of your broadband connection.

As already mentioned, further details of the games can be found by launching the game. In order to optimise the game play for a smaller display, only the basic functions are shown on the game screen, such as the spin button for slots. All other, non-essential functions, such as sound settings, paytables, game rules and options to adjust the bet amount can be accessed by tapping on the relevant option on the main screen. This will open up another display with the extra information. This ensures that the game works as best as possible on the smaller display.

Is There a Special Mobile Bonus?

As is the case with the majority of operators, there is no bonus which is specifically available for William Hill casino mobile games. However, the operator does provide a generous welcome bonus, including a tailor-made high roller offer, which can be used to play all games found on the mobile app.

A Wide Variety of Mobile Payment Options

As a well-established operator, William Hill provides a wide variety of payment options. These include debit cards, e-wallets such as Skrill and PayPal, and prepaid methods like paysafecard. The majority of the many accepted payment methods can also be used to deposit and withdraw on the app, with just the exception of paysafecard – which is otherwise available on the desktop version. The deposit and withdrawal minimums vary from one payment method to another, but even on the app they match those of the main site.

Downloads, Compatibility and Minimum Requirements

The web-based app is available for iOS and Android, and enables games to be played directly in the browser. Players using an iPad or iPhone will need iOS 9.0 or above to use the app. The web app is also compatible with a huge variety of Android smartphones and tablets, provided they are running on operating system 2.36 (Gingerbread) or higher. From the browser, the various gaming products provided by the operator can be accessed, including Live Casino. At present, Blackberry and Windows Phone are not supported.

In addition, there are also native apps available for download on iPhone and iPad. The Casino app is 95.7MB in size and requires iOS 9.0. The other two dedicated apps are for Vegas and Live Casino. Both require a lower version of the operating system, iOS 9.0 or later and both are larger in size than the casino app. The Live Casino application is 29.1 MB and the Vegas version is 34.3MB in size. All three products can be downloaded from the iTunes App store. At present, there are no native Android apps available to download for any of these products.

Conclusion – A Good Mobile Casino, Particularly for iPad and iPhone

On the whole, the William Hill casino mobile app performs well, with just a few weaknesses. Whereas the game selection is much smaller than the desktop version, it still provides more than a decent amount of choice – particularly when it comes to slots and jackpots. Further, the key features of the games have been adapted to work well on a smaller display. The high-quality live dealer games have been made available to mobile users, either in-browser or with a dedicated download app for iOS. There is also a wide selection of games from various developers available through the Vegas web and download app.

As already mentioned, there are a couple of negatives that need to be mentioned. For one, although there are three native apps that can be downloaded for iOS, there are none which have been specifically developed for Android. Also, the navigation back to the games lobby can be quite cumbersome at times, I’ve found. On both of these points, I preferred the 888casino mobile app. The layout is user-friendly and easy to navigate through, there are download apps for both Android iOS, plus there is a good selection of casino and live dealer games.
