Mobile gaming has seen a recent boom in the last couple of years and there are a few reasons why. Firstly, Covid! Need I say more? While everyone was stuck in the house on lockdown, what else did you expect them to do? People turned to their phones and electronic devices and needed a way to pass the time. Hence one of the rises in mobile gaming. Next, we have had some amazing advancements in technology in the past few years meaning that mobile phones are now stronger than ever. We are now even seeing mobile phones that are dedicated to being gaming phones, some of which even come with 140Hz screens, 4 k resolutions, and many more features.
The great thing about mobile gaming is that almost anyone anywhere can do it. There is almost certainly a game out there for everyone these days as well, no matter what you are into. From crossword puzzles to first-person shooters and more, mobile gaming is proving that it is here to stay.
So, without further ado, let us take a look at some of the most popular and trending mobile games of 2022 thus far. Let’s start with two of the more popular and easy-to-play games currently topping the charts.
Among Us
What seems like a fairly simple game can pit you against your friends in a hurry. You start off as a crewmate on a spaceship and have to do certain tasks. While you are doing this, there are imposters on board that go around and kill the crewmates by literally biting their heads off. Sounds like fun, right? Well, this is where it gets really good because as an imposter you can get voted out. The only way not to get voted out is to try and trick the rest of the crewmates and not let them see you kill the others. This makes things a bit more tricky but offers hours of fun with friends as it is an easily understandable game that most anyone can get to grips with.
Minecraft
What has essentially become one of the biggest games of all time, thanks in part to streamers and YouTubers is a simple yet fun-to-play game. There are different game modes but the base of the game is you have a character and you build stuff with blocks. You can explore the world and find new materials and then you can also craft them into many different things by using certain recipes. While the idea of Minecraft is a simple one, there is a lot to this game and it can consume mass amounts of time so be careful if you start playing it!
Online Casinos and Mobile Slots
While mobile gaming itself has grown massively in the past couple of years, there is another part of the gaming industry that has grown as well. Online Casinos have become extremely popular, especially in the US. While this is in part to the online mobile gaming boom, it is also due to some states’ passing legislation to allow mobile gaming as it is not currently available everywhere in America.
There are a lot of different casinos based on mobile games now. You can play poker, slots, and much more these days right from your phone. Best of all, you can get big sign-up bonuses and rewards available at the top payout online casinos in the US. Let’s go ahead and take a look at a couple of the top casino games currently available on mobile.
Golden Casino – Vegas Slots

While this is a free game and no money is needed, it offers a wide variety of different Vegas-style slots to play, all at your fingertips. The graphics are also quite impressive across the range of different games so there is no need to worry about getting bored quickly. Simply sit down, start the game and enjoy hours of slots fun from almost anywhere.
Jackpot World – Slots Casino
Yup. Imagine another slot game topping the Google Play charts in America. This one is currently offering a 12,000,000 free bonus and is another free-to-play game.
