“We are aware of an issue with WebView causing some apps on Android to crash for some users,” Google said in a statement to The Verge. “We are currently working to fully validate the scope and a fix is in progress.”

A number of the most popular android apps are not working properly for thousands of users this morning – but there is a fix.

As of 9am this morning, Google had more than 470 problem reports logged with independent outage monitor Downdetector, a site which collects status reports from websites and apps. Cornwalllive.com

Updating Android System WebView and Google Chrome via Google Play should now resolve the issue for all users.

1. Navigate to the Play Store app
2. Search for Android System WebView
(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.webview)
3. Select the “Update” option
4. Repeat these steps for Google Chrome (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.chrome)”

Sometimes there are also certain crazes that start in a specific decade and have a reawakening a few years later. Take a look at the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for example: these creatures were very popular in the early 90s and they even featured in 3 movies, released in 1990, 1991 and 1993. Then they disappeared and, flash forward to 2014 and 2016, they are bigger than ever before, with a new generation of fans. One of these crazes that started in the 90s and is making a huge comeback is Pokémon, but this time the creators have outdone themselves by creating Pokémon Go, a game that you can play via your phone. If you’re not sure what Pokémon Go is all about: where have you been? But in case you really just missed the latest craze that is taking the world by storm, here’s a quick summary:

Pokémon Go is basically an app that you download to your phone and once you’ve signed up, you will be able to create an avatar and get your starter kit. Then you need to find and catch different creatures. You can also join teams, battle at Gyms and hatch eggs: all of this via a digital map on your phone showing you where to go next. The positive side of Pokémon Go is that people are actually getting out and walking around – the negative: people are on their phones the whole time, even while driving, which results in more road accidents.

In a nutshell, Pokémon Go is a fun game to play and that’s about it. There are other ways to have fun on your phone plus you could win real money. An example of this is, and here we go back to the 90s, the online casino industry. As with Pokémon Go, you can now play online casino games on your mobile device as well, wherever you are. Plus, with casinos like Lucky Nugget, you can get an app called Casino Lounge, which connects you to the latest news, games and everything you need to know – on your phone. While the target market for Pokémon Go is generally for people from all ages, casinos like Lucky Nugget will only accept players from 18+ (in some cases 21+), but if you think that you can win jackpot amounts of more than a Million, the casino seems to be the route to go.

Pokémon Go seems quite simple to install and play – how does that compare to an online casino like Lucky Nugget? No difference: in fact, you can either download the software of the casino (which is free, by the way) or play via the flash version directly in your browser. A casino like Lucky Nugget offers not just one game via an app, but more than 500 different casino games to enjoy. So whether you want to play card games like blackjack or video poker, or spin to win with fun video slots and 3-reel classic slots, you can do so at any time. Not only can you win real money at Lucky Nugget, but you can also get started with cash already in your account. With Pokémon Go you’ll get a backpack and a Pokédex (which is an index of Pokémon, with information on all the species), but at Lucky Nugget you’ll be welcomed with a bonus of a 150% match up to AU$200. There are loads of other entertaining promotions that you can enter and you don’t even have to leave home – you can play directly on your PC. If you however do find yourself at the bus stop or somewhere, you can of course also play directly on your mobile. And playing at Lucky Nugget Casino is much safer than playing Pokémon Go: you don’t need to be too attentive when playing. Most games have an AutoPlay function available, so the reels can spin automatically. This way you can play your favourite slot game without even looking or touching your phone, and it will automatically stop when you have a big win, so that you can see what you’ve won the next time your eyes move towards the screen.

Are there other differences or similarities? You bet: Pokémon Go offers the chance to hatch eggs, battle at Gyms, etc. while some of the games at Lucky Nugget are quite similar. Video slots offer various themes with bonus games hidden among the reels. If you strike it lucky, you’ll also be able to do battle, or choose different items, to score even bigger. PokéCoins can be earned after every 20 hours – you can visit the Shop and redeem your coins; this is all based on how many Gyms you occupy at that time. At Lucky Nugget, you’ll receive Loyalty Points, not every 20 hours, but every single time that you place a cash bet at the casino – these points can be exchanged for casino credits, giving you more free money to play with.

So while Pokémon Go is a lot of fun, playing at Lucky Nugget Casino seems to be as much fun, with less data usage and a lot more options. Plus, you can even play in online slot tournaments where you can complete with players from around the world. But whether you’re playing Pokémon Go or playing to win at Lucky Nugget Casino, there’s no reason why you can’t have both apps on your phone and enjoy them anytime, anywhere.

A leading gaming software and services provider and best known for its Omni-Channel offering, Playtech also announced that Coral Interactive is the first licensee customer to offer the groundbreaking iWatch app to its far-reaching player base in the UK and European markets.  The app’s instant accessibility to Coral, as a business-to-consumer (B2C) tender, came as an extension of a previously agreed multi-year Omni-Channel deal between the two gaming companies.

According to the announcement, senior Playtech mobile developers have been working intensively on the wearable Apple betting app during the recent past months. Apparently, hard work paid off, as they were able to submit the Playtech-brand of iWatch app as soon as the Apple App store opened the related submission window last April 2015.

The Playtech iWatch app connects to the iOS mobile betting app of a punter. The system, therefore, allows the wearer of an Apple Watch to place bets, view live and upcoming sporting events as well as keep track of promotions and message alerts directly from the wearable communication device.

UK’s leading Omni-Channel provider asserts that unlike other existing brands of iWatch betting applications, the Playtech Apple Watch betting app gives customers the chance to instantly profit from betting positions. This is because the Playtech iWatch app’s Cash Out functionality is accessible to a customer, the moment a placed bet is already in progress.

Since the app is now accessible and available for download at Apple’s iTune App Store, Coral released Version 1.10, to update Coral’s mobile sports betting app. The update includes the Apple Watch Companion App Release, as this will enable Coral customers to view the bookmaker’s live and forthcoming sports matches directly from the new wearable Apple communication device

Betting directly from the Apple Watch is also possible since Coral’s mobile sports betting application furnishes a list of betting options and a quick-bet slip for quick processing. It also has a seamless single-wallet payment system that makes it possible for Coral customers to place bets and cash out winnings, right from the wearable device. If a Coral customer wishes to view the status of his or her bets, including betting history, he or she can easily access and browse through the My Bets section while using the Apple Watch.

The CEO at Playtech, Mor Weizer, commented that Apple Watch pose as a natural extension to Playtech’s Omni-Channel offering, as demonstrated through the launch of the Playtech iWatch betting application at Coral. CEO Weizer takes pride in stating that innovation is something they take quite seriously, for which the company invests heavily from year to year. In so doing, Playtech has gained competitive edge as they are well ahead of their competitors, not only with the iWatch app development, but with the entire Omni-Channel solutions as well.

So in total, players can claim 215 in bonus credits. The Promo code that players will have to use during the depositing process is conveniently named “NEWYEAR”. Upon making the required deposit, the bonus credits will be available to players on the spot.

PartyPoker (PP) mobile casino app players can now join the full range of online Sit and Go (SNG) tournaments, from the standard games to the double-or-nothing and coinflip poker competitions, whether using an iOS or Android supported mobile device.

Actually, the addition of the SNG tourney is only one of a series of functionality improvements and mobile app enhancements rolled out in beta version by Bwin.Party since May. However, the update selection excludes SNG satellites, as PP’s team of app developers considered the possibility of a tournament-qualified player using a mobile client that does not support Party Poker’s mobile casino app.

Since the testing phase has ended and the mobile app is already available to iOS and Android mobile device users,  Warren Lush, Head of Public Relations at Bwin.Party is proud to announce that the update will allow PartyPoker players to gain access to “one of the world’s leading online poker rooms quicker and easier than ever before.”

A most welcome improvement is one that permits seamless shifting from desktop playing to mobile gaming in any variant of PartyPoker SNG, rapid fold and cash game offerings, whether for free play or for real-money. As there is a broad range of game selections to choose from, the people behind Bwin.Party’s mobile app development were intuitive enough to add table filters that allow sorting by number of players per table, buy-in fee, by speed and by format. With just a touch of the icon-based filter, players can easily get into any ongoing poker action of his or her choice.

Another improvement worth mentioning is the quick-play option that enables players to join the action immediately, when shifting from desktop to mobile gaming or vice-versa. Losing connection and automated or accidental shut downs do not pose as problems since a simple re-launch of the mobile app will bring the player back to the table. The selection buttons are large enough to make it less likely for players to tap on a selection by accident.

For players who also dabble in online casino games, the latest mobile app update also gives player quick access to Bwin.Party’s casino table games and slot offerings.

Canadian poker player Kara Scott, one of Party Poker’s ambassadors and member of Team Party Poker, commented that the addition of the extensive selection of SNG games and tournaments to PP’s mobile offering gives a clear message that Party Poker has taken steps toward the development of future online poker. Ms. Scott recalls that in the early days of mobile gaming, it was more likely that the development of a mobile application for high-quality poker gaming would always remain a “pipe dream”. She added, “Ease of access, speed and freedom is the absolute key” and that the recent update is only the first step, because Bwin.Party intends to add more improvements that will contribute to the growth of the product.

The Party Poker mobile casino app is free and available for download at Apple’s App Store for iOS devices, and at the Google Play Store for Android-supported devices.

This app is Riches of Olympus and it features a great number of rewarding features. These features include a mini gamble game that players can opt in to double their winnings. Mega stacks, sticky wilds, bursting wilds, re spins and expanding icons. The game also has all of the needed social communication features that players can use to interact with other players while playing.
