A grand floral set-up, multi-cuisine menu, old Bollywood melodies and an ever-smiling couple. Newly wed actors Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh’s exuded charm and joy as they personally greeted over a thousand guests at a reception party here.

Dressed in ornate white and gold designer ensembles and flanked by their parents and siblings, the couple stood tirelessly for close to five hours meeting and greeting their approximately 1,200 guests, which primarily included Ranveer’s family and media persons here on Wednesday night.

The couple arrived at around 8.30 p.m., and posed for the shutterbugs against a backdrop done up with green foliage and white flowers.

They proceeded to the hall at the Grand Hyatt hotel. As guests looked mesmerised inside the hotel, outside was a steady stream of fans hoping to catch a glimpse of either the star couple or a Bollywood face.

Deepika, daughter of tennis ace Prakash Padukone, and Ranveer tied the knot at a very private ceremony in Lake Como, Italy, on November 14 and 15.

They held a wedding reception in Bengaluru a week later, followed by a party thrown by Ranveer’s sister in Mumbai.

The party is continuing and the couple is not tired.

“Not at all… It’s all our pleasure,” the effervescent Ranveer, with a smiling, glowing and heavily bejewelled Deepika beside him, beamed as he told IANS at the party.

They smiled ear-to-ear, taking only three five to 10-minute breaks in between meeting the guests, whom they greeted with a hug and a short chit-chat and gratitude.

There was a free flow of snacks, cocktails, an exhaustive food menu and delectable desserts to choose from.

Malabari Kerala parotta, a wide variety of Northwest frontier foods, Makki ki roti, sarson ka saag, biryani, shawarma, Chinese, Goan — they ensured there was a variety.

For those with a sweet tooth, there was an array of French desserts, Baklava, Ice cream rolls, different Tawa halwas, waffle ice cream and more.

But a separate party has been organised for the Indian film fraternity on December 1. They are said to have invited not just their starry friends, but also those who work relentlessly behind the scenes.

Come December, Ranveer will be back to working on Rohit Shetty’s “Simmba”, while Deepika Padukone is likely to resume work in January.

Together, they have starred in films like “Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela” and “Bajirao Mastani”, as well as “Padmaavat”.

Casino Days Reveal Internal Data on Most Popular Smartphones

International online casino Casino Days has published a report sharing their internal data on what types and brands of devices are used to play on the platform by users from the South Asian region.

Such aggregate data analyses allow the operator to optimise their website for the brands and models of devices people are actually using.

The insights gained through the research also help Casino Days tailor their services based on the better understanding of their clients and their needs.

Desktops and Tablets Lose the Battle vs Mobile

The primary data samples analysed by Casino Days reveal that mobile connections dominate the market in South Asia and are responsible for a whopping 96.6% of gaming sessions, while computers and tablets have negligible shares of 2.9% and 0.5% respectively.

The authors of the study point out that historically, playing online casino was exclusively done on computers, and attribute thе major shift to mobile that has unfolded over time to the wide spread of cheaper smartphones and mobile data plans in South Asia.

“Some of the reasons behind this massive difference in device type are affordability, technical advantages, as well as cheaper and more obtainable internet plans for mobiles than those for computers,” the researchers comment.

Xiaomi and Vivo Outperform Samsung, Apple Way Down in Rankings

Chinese brands Xiaomi and Vivo were used by 21.9% and 20.79% of Casino Days players from South Asia respectively, and together with the positioned in third place with a 18.1% share South Korean brand Samsung dominate the market among real money gamers in the region.

Cupertino, California-based Apple is way down in seventh with a user share of just 2.29%, overshadowed by Chinese brands Realme (11.43%), OPPO (11.23%), and OnePlus (4.07%).

Huawei is at the very bottom of the chart with a tiny share just below the single percent mark, trailing behind mobile devices by Motorola, Google, and Infinix.

The data on actual phone usage provided by Casino Days, even though limited to the gaming parts of the population of South Asia, paints a different picture from global statistics on smartphone shipments by vendors.

Apple and Samsung have been sharing the worldwide lead for over a decade, while current regional leader Xiaomi secured their third position globally just a couple of years ago.

Striking Android Dominance among South Asian Real Money Gaming Communities

The shifted market share patterns of the world’s top smartphone brands in South Asia observed by the Casino Days research paper reveal a striking dominance of Android devices at the expense of iOS-powered phones.

On the global level, Android enjoys a comfortable lead with a sizable 68.79% share which grows to nearly 79% when we look at the whole continent of Asia. The data on South Asian real money gaming communities suggests that Android’s dominance grows even higher and is north of the 90% mark.

Among the major factors behind these figures, the authors of the study point to the relative affordability of and greater availability of Android devices in the region, especially when manufactured locally in countries like India and Vietnam.

“And, with influencers and tech reviews putting emphasis on Android devices, the choice of mobile phone brand and OS becomes easy; Android has a much wider range of products and caters to the Asian online casino market in ways that Apple can’t due to technical limitations,” the researchers add.

The far better integration achieved by Google Pay compared to its counterpart Apple Pay has also played a crucial role in shaping the existing smartphone market trends.
