Caesars is the first land-based operator moving online. Dragonfish (an independent entity within 888 Holdings) has been chosen as casino’s software developer.

The new online casino is based on the ancient Rome theme and carries all traditional table games. Unfortunately, it lacks lots of popular slot games as a result of Harrah’s choice in software developers.

The increasing popularity of roulette can be explained by a chance to win serious cash very quickly. However, very few people think that choosing roulette as a form of gambling they can lose a lot more money and a lot quicker.

Censorship in the online casino gambling industry is a growing problem all over the world. The governments like China and the US try to justify it in any form what makes it easy for smaller countries to also justify unnecessary internet blocks.

Censorship, in general, is the direct way to limit personal freedoms. So, internet gambling sites seem to be a launching point for governments to take total control of their citizens.

Illegal Gambling Thrives in Russia

Leave a reply

The decision to move land gambling venues from major cities to remote regions of Russia resulted in a hole in the Russian gambling industry that is rapidly filled with illegal online casino gambling operations.

Making this decision, the Russian government hoped that it would help solve the problem of gambling addiction, but it did not, as lots of small gambling parlors have turned into “internet cafes” offering access to the online casinos, lottery and instant betting games. But because Russia does not allow legalized and licensed internet gambling, all of the sites offering gambling services to Russians are offshore gaming sites that are harder to catch and stop.

Online Gambling Ban Becomes Contagious

Leave a reply

Major concerns for the online gambling industry are coming. A few months ago Russia announced their decision to stop online gambling their country. Poland is following Russia in their decision to stop online gambling. So are Israel and India. The United States have been banning the online gambling since 2005 and as result have been paying the consequences as well. However, more countries seem to be banning online gambling.

If laws remain, lots of business will run into huge problems. They’ll have either to close or to branch out into other European countries where online casino gambling has not been banned.
