The online casino gambling industry is expecting great changes that should take place in 2009.

Two years ago lots of analysts predicted better times for online casinos, times when they would flourish and increase their profits. In the view of the world economic crisis, the predictions do not look that bright any more, however many online casinos and gambling sites are still showing positive growth and decent avenues.

With the gambling market growing in Europe, the European Commission started breaking up the land and online casino gambling monopolies within EU member-states what is really a good thing for the online casinos. There are still countries trying to keep the monopolies, but this fact cannot stop online gambling sites’ growth. It is worth mentioning here that Italy is starting to open its market and Eastern Europe’s online casino market is rapidly growing. Some gaming companies would like to enter Asian gaming market.
