Online casinos top land-based venues during economic slow down
February 20, 2009
A recent report released by Ernst & Young indicates that online casinos are faring far better than their land based counterparts during the world economic slow down. The report details the analysis of research conducted across 135,000 individuals from around the world and confirms that gamblers are frequenting brick and mortar casinos less in order to cut costs but are in turn visiting online casinos.
Due to the fact that online casinos are easily accessible via the world wide web, these groups can successfully target vast international markets and offer a variety of language and currency options in order to accommodate players in an environment where they feel comfortable. While land-based venues on the other hand, have long enjoyed their “destination” status offering mammoth resorts, outstanding shows, decadent cuisine and additional entertainment to attract gamblers and their families, during the present recession and tough economic times gamblers are choosing not to travel, and these properties are feeling the effects of the large losses of revenue.
Interestingly, the report notes that in addition to providing solubility to online casino companies themselves, the tax revenue generated from these properties is contributing to keeping some state budgets afloat. Countries, like the UK, who have effective tax regulations in place are already benefitting from this large stream of income as the economy falters.
Casinos in 3D
February 20, 2009
The internet presents a world of endless possibilities, especially when it comes to entertainment and online casinos. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, someone brings out something that takes the industry by storm and that is exactly what is happening with the advent of 3D online casinos.
When it comes to these properties, gone are the days of flat, boring graphics as you explore their lifelike casino lobbies and enjoy the games in a way that you never could before.
In fact, this possibilites presented by 3D platforms are so attractive that even French land-based casino operator Lucien Barriere Hotels and Casinos recently announced that they would be entering the UK online casino market next month with its very own 3D offering. The casino will allow players to create customised virtual characters from a selection of life-like avatars in the site’s Dressing Room before going on to enjoy a night of casino action while chatting to other players as they go.
But what will truly set this property apart from existing offerings is that it will be the first online casino to mirror a real-life casino and will be the online version of the company’s own land based casino, and the games offering will be comprised of exact replicas of those found at its venue in Deauville.
This is sure to spark some fierce competition amidst existing online casino operators and players can expect to see some pretty novel and exciting ideas emerging as the technology just keeps getting better at their favourite places to play.
