The Apple Watch is going to be the next big craze in the technology world. Offering up a wide range of useful everyday functions, the Apple Watch is also going to be a major entertainment platform.

Already, a number of games and apps have been released for the device, and there are even a few casino games available.

Apple Watch Slots

For the Apple Watch, there are a number of slots games available. Some of the most popular so far are Slots for Watch by Mobile Blast, Watch Slots Casino and Crock of Gold.

While Slots for Watch and Watch Slots are very basic fruit machine-style slots, Crock of Gold is somewhat more sophisticated. It is still quite simple but Crock of Gold features creative graphics that will impress users.

In the future, we would like to see games with bonus features and better graphics – but, this is a good start, so far.

Betting

Earlier this week, we talked about the range of online betting apps available on the Apple Watch. Ladbrokes, Coral and UniBet have launched apps that offer players the ability to obtain information about sporting events and even to wager on sports. You can read more about them here.

Another new app that allows players to wager is Poll Party from Big Fish Games. Poll Party is a betting game that allows players to wager on the results of various surveys. For example, the game will ask players which is scarier: spiders or snakes.

Then, they will be asked which answer they believe will be chosen by more users. If the player chooses correctly, they will win points.

Poker

There are actually quite a few video poker games available for the Apple Watch, each one offering players a fun casino game experience. They are still relatively basic games, but we hope to see something more unique and innovative in the future. It is great for early adopters of the technology, but we’re hoping to see video poker games with variations, progressive jackpots and bonuses sometime soon.

Blackjack and baccarat are other simple casino card games that would also work well on the Apple Watch. It will likely be a while until multiplayer poker games like Texas Hold ‘Em are available on the Apple Watch.

Until then, the Apple Watch is the perfect platform for poker tools. Apps that allow players to analyse hands, store hand histories and keep notes on players will be hugely popular for poker players.
