As far as I'm aware, a mobile user can't play embeded (iframe or js) free flash casino games. Not sure about tablets (I don't own one)... What do you guys do about responsive themes where, you have free games emeded in to pages of a responsive theme, when a mobile lands on them?

I could impliment a php sniffer code and redirect any mobiles (tablets?) landing on the free game pages or even a veiled message might do the trick. Though, I'm not sure how Google would react to such a process... Don't want Google to think the pages are being cloaked.

All feedback appreciated :)

Right now, I'm not doing anything about it. My plan, however, is to use User-Agent detection to present a static image or a video of the game instead of the free play version with a note underneath that 'the Free Play version is not currently available on your device'. I think that would work.

I'm in a two minds tbh.
We're told mobile casino play is on the increase. Albeit a lot of people access FB via mobile/tablet for example.

So while I think certain site's have seen an increase, and it's smart to make this content responsive, I'm really not seeing a noticable spike in mobile traffic on my gambling sites.

I've played MGS on my mobile for real wagers - wasn't that impressed. Fiddly buttons and other things, really detracted from the enjoyment. Much rather play on my PC.

I use responsive design and offer free flash games from NetEnt on certain pages. However, since these flash games don't work on tablets and phones, I instead show an image, informing that the game only work on a computer, instead of the flash game when the screens is smaller then a certain size. You can see example here: http://www.spelacasino.se/slots/elements/
