I believe this type of games has been already created, most of them you can find in gambling sites such as crash games where you can earn through playing. If you're more of an MMORPG type of gamer there was a games introduce in the gambling section where you can go hunt mobs, go to dungeon and earn satoshi.

For now, we havent seen it yet but the possibility of integration is most likely to happen in near future.It wont really be that hard on such integration towards bitcoin and mobile gaming industry.

Come to think that there are famous games(PC) that do accept out bitcoin payment but later on they do remove it out due to volatility and fee issues.If mobile game developers would see this

negative aspect then pretty sure that they wont really consider it out but if they do able to see the bright side then it would be a good thing for mobile gamers out there which do involved themselves to crypto/ bitcoin itself.

I can see that coming. Mobile gaming companies may be adopting Bitcoin as one of their payment gateways to buy in-game items. I don't know what specific games are you guys usually playing in your mobile phone, but I can sense that they're going to explore this kind of technology.

In the Philippines, our local crypto wallet providers are having a feature that we could buy gaming credits. However, only Garena and Steam credits were are popular nowadays. Not sure about Mobile Legends though if we could use our local crypto wallet to buy some credits and pay via Bitcoin or Ethereum.

Massive adoption and awareness is all we need, and we should keep doing that.

This one is possible in the future but today i don't think it would be successful due to the fact that not everyone use bitcoin and not everyone has it. Availability and accessibility would be the factors that is needed to be considered for this to happen.

Just like Bitcoin; banks can be a traditional and Bitcoin becomes much easier and comfortable to use.

In mobile gaming; PC Desktop games/console games, etc can be traditional while games on mobile are the new trend where you can play comfortably anywhere with just your mobile phone.
Meeehn, you just made the right explanation for this. I know some people will not agree with this, some fanatics, but you're right man. This is just how I see Bitcoin; I don't see it as something that will replace banks. It is just like other digital banks, I like making use of digital banks a lot, but I still can't do without the main banks, they are very important and I will always be needing. Digital banks are fun and that's the same thing with bitcoin, it is easy and fun to use. We shouldn't be seeing it a replacement for banks, but another means to make transactions easier for us instead of having to rely on banks all the time.

Bitcoin payments+gambling app on mobile devices must the be future of gambling. People will start gambling even they find themselves free for 5 minutes. I do see people are playing pubg and other similar games like crazy and this go more wild into another levels if bitcoin along with famous houses incorporated.

I'm not a fan of mobile gaming let's just say that.

Most of mobile games are cheap knockoffs based on blockbuster titles like command and conquer. Its mobile version has nothing to do with a real strategy game but rather is a typical map clicker and builder where everything takes hours to happen andf you can buy powerups for money.

All those tour-based games where you have to spend money to make a move or be immune from attacks are made to drain your pocket, that's all. Would you prefer if they were draining your bitcoin wallet?

The relationship of Bitcoin and Mobile Gaming as you very well described it is the evolution of technology. With Bitcoin, I do not need to wait for a transfer by traditional means to be effective on working days and hours.
I simply use my favorite local exchange P2P and I can count my money in my bank account. Just like from my smartphone I can enjoy hours of entertainment from the palm of my hand. Bitcoin and the evolution of smartphones allow you more freedom.

As mobile gaming become start to become popular in the world of gaming.
I have this thought on my mind;

Can we relate Bitcoin with Mobile Gaming?

Just like Bitcoin; banks can be a traditional and Bitcoin becomes much easier and comfortable to use.

In mobile gaming; PC Desktop games/console games, etc can be traditional while games on mobile are the new trend where you can play comfortably anywhere with just your mobile phone.

Does it ring a bell?
It's kinda the use of Bitcoin is much comfortable since we just need a Bitcoin wallet and internet connection to make the transaction.
And in gaming: we just need a mobile phone where it is easy to access anytime and anywhere and play since you just need your mobile phone, no need to bring your console/PC desktop every time just to play.

I just think that mobile gaming is much more comfortable if you are comparing it with how comfortable bitcoin was. Almost all of the people can try and be comfortable gaming in the mobile cause yup you can play it anywhere even laying in bed or wherever you like and so on. No one would stop you honestly other than a slow internet connection or a slow phone. However in bitcoin, there are so much to think of besides the internet connection. It may be true that btc can be used anywhere too and a fast transaction too, but what makes it very difficult to compare to mobile gaming is because of its volatility, you can't own the technology just like how you own mobile gaming. So much to think of because your money can deteriorate in minutes.

So if we are comparing comfortabilty of btc and mobile gaming, is it much better to incorporate "mobile gaming" to "online banking" in fiat? Just my opinion cause honestly its still comfortable and effiicient to online bank in fiat than btc for me because you probably know why...

Thanks for those inputs that relate to what I want mean, while there is some post up there that does not relate to what I am want to say, maybe my first post is not just clear as crystal.
In short, what I want to say is the similarity of these two; Bitcoin and Mobile Gaming, like how they begin and become popular or how they started.

It hurts when you open a topic and only a few bother to read more than the title before posting, right?
And, it will only get worse from now on as pages start to pile up so, either lock the topic or change the title to something like:

"Is switching from banks to bitcoin, like from pc to smartphones"
"Bitcoin will gain over banks as smartphones have over pc"
Or...add after the current one: "It's not about paying with BTC for games"

But better lock this topic and create a self-moderated one  Grin

IIRC, there were mobile games before that gives reward but the game itself is sort of flappy birdish and the reward is like a faucet.

Those were the kind of games that I've known but didn't try any of them.

My mom loves playing Bitcoin Blast, and my kids even ask me to play it from time to time.

My mom is so excited by the less than a quarter she makes each week from it... hehe it's the little things sometimes!
Yup.

They're enjoying while making some from these games. You wouldn't actually look to the little that they get but the fun that they share with you and the enjoyment that you see on them.

I also have the opinion that bitcoin is almost the same as Mobile Gaming, because they are both easy to use and comfortable to use.
It only requires a mobile phone and an internet connection, therefore bitcoin users should match Mobile Gaming users. But the reality
is not the same, of course Mobile Gaming users are far more numerous. That happens because it's not a bitcoin promotion as well as
the promotion of Mobile Gaming. I hope that in the future bitcoin can be promoted on television so that bitcoin is increasingly popular
and known to many people.

Not a chance in hell Bitcoin is going to appear as a payment option for mobile gaming. Bitcoin is going to have to compete against credit card transaction companies, Apple Pay, Amazon Pay, Google Pay, ect. All these companies have market share and all of these companies operate on fiat and have motivation to collude with each other to ensure Bitcoin is not introduced. They know where the money is.

Twitch.tv was an Amazon owned streaming platform and they had Bitcoin as an option for payment methods. They canned Bitcoin once Amazon pay started to gain traction. I imagine mobile gaming won't even get as far as having a BTC available in the first place.

Well I do think there are two things that can be done here :
 •Make mobile Games related to Bitcoins
https://news.bitcoin.com/cryptocurrency-games-have-invaded-the-most-popular-app-stores/
 This is already being done in the market .
 •Pay In Bitcoins while your purchase any Mobile Game
https://blocksdecoded.com/buy-video-games-with-bitcoin/
This is already being done , plus there are many options out there .

They won't ever make it to a mainstream market. Apple's App store and Google Play store are the only platforms that matter and mobile games need to go through Apple and Google's system to sell their product. You think they'll start taking Bitcoin soon? Highly unlikely.

Yet it is very difficult to introduce bitcoins in gaming section for payment. Like suppose if we take the example of PUBG game by tencent gaming they already have there own platform named as UC (Unknown cash) for buying several things in game. So these gaming apps will not accept the bitcoin as due to complex nature of security and blockchain concept and the regular fluctuations in Rate of BTC.
But in future it can be possible and beneficial too.

There is recently one project that I encountered relating to this topic, Phoneum(mobile crypto app and gaming platform)

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-phoneum-mobile-crypto-app-gaming-platform-5224065

But their thread is shrouded with doubt from the users. So this kind of service is really possible but depends on the developer if they will truly develop such app or not. Gaming industry is a multi-billion dollar already so just getting a small pie would get them busy and earn decent profit.

It is not about mobile gaming interaction with Bitcoins , that is already happening .
It is about Good Games that people can buy with Bitcoins
Now that will ofcourse take time. Considering Bitcoins just came in 2009 , we still have a long way to go .

For general information I would list some ways regarding the same:
Moon Browser extension
Purse.io
GamesPlanet
Keys4coins
Jolt4fun
Bitrefill

Start to become popular???Dude,mobile gaming is really popular for years.
Games like Clash of clans and Clash Royale have more than 500 million downloads.
Can we implement Bitcoin into mobile gaming?Well,It depends of what do we want.
Do we want more Bitcoin gambling mobile games or we want freemium mobile games,that accept Bitcoin payments for different perks and premium features.
I can't seem to find any interesting Bitcoin mobile game on Google Play.Most of them are boring and look like scamms.

While blockchain has yet to make its way into mainstream games, it seems that this won’t be the case for too long.


Yups it won't take long before it will be accepted by the gaming industry as Cryptocurrency is considered also to be Online or electric money,and the games now requires electronic currency to be purchased and having crypto is one good option for them.

Quote
We suspect that as time goes on, more and more games will start implementing cryptocurrencies into their games or using blockchain technology to improve their games’ mechanics as a whole. This is really possible 😊
Online gaming now is the most popular in any form of gaming specially those who allows us to play via Mobile and tablets and in this case purchasing items or anything to go forward in their game is really in demand so why not let this happen.

I just think that this thing can be a process when there is a lot of new gaming platforms popping up the developer of the gaming should look cryptocurrency as a tool to buy something in the games platform. Because so far if look some gaming platform only uses the token/chip that can only use on the platform, the token can't be sold to another platform and the money just stuck in there.

Whereas, if the developer use some cryptocurrency or they can create a token-based on the blockchain the benefit that will get will be high. Also, the benefit not only for the developer itself but the gamers will also get the benefit. Yeah, I think that is the matter of time, in the future we will see a lot of gaming platform which uses blockchain technology as another way even it can be used as a solution as well.
