Online Casino Games: Results for the Year 2007. Part Two
But the sites that still accept U.S. players have certainly shown growth. Thus, on the eve of the new year 2008 PokerStars announced simultaneously on the achievement of 150 000 poker players, but still these improvements did not exceed 50 percent per year. Strangely enough, the delay of the online poker room players was very striking off. For the first time for many years at the WSOP main event, there were fewer players than last year on this, approximately 20 percent less. Previously many of the players were presented by the online poker rooms, but decrease in the number of U.S. gamblers online, as well as stricter rules on advertising for online poker rooms on the tournament resulted in the spaces in the passive role of the gamblers for the WSOP. If everything bad in America than in Europe the situation is contradictory. On the one hand, the EU does not allow the Italians, in an attempt to ban online casino games, to do it. A new law in Britain “”not only legalizes online betting and is advertising online casinos, but the company should be allowed into the EU. In view of this, Malta, which has become the center of online businesses in Europe, has a windfall and will succeed for very little money. On the other hand, Germany has a legal right on New Years Eve, which online casino games and their advertising is prohibited, even if passed, everyone believes that the EU, the German withdrawal of the law in question. For a while there are rumors in the air that Norway will ban online casino games, Turkey, but its not really a European country, but it has also imposed a ban.As for online poker, there was a schism within the online poker rooms in anticipation of the resolution. For the first time an online poker room fraud was proven and accepted (more precisely, not the space itself, but one of the senior managers). Absolute Poker announced that one of the executives access to the players cards (pocket cards given all he knew, but not the cards that drop out on the flop / turn / river). He shared this information with his partner who managed to a great tournament. To prove that anything was possible by a simple error in transmitting the history that was received by another participant of the catastrophic event. Absolute Poker was a study undertaken for the losses back to all those who have ago and strengthening of the security system. However, Absolute Poker cheating scandal has caused not only a poker room, and the industry as a whole, but this battle is not fatal. Technically, the last year led to something new. The mobile poker, 3D poker, will be gradually developed, but it all turned out even earlier. Online poker rooms actively making versions do not download, adding new games, improved interface, new payment methods and change the table sizes. What we waiting during the year 2008 set in? I doubt its worth waiting for a breakthrough. The period of major growth in online gambling industry has already bee “”ended, the period of consolidation is, the time of the fight for a new casino players. Poker networks will continue to grow (both in terms of the number of rooms and gamblers), apparently, there will be mergers and acquisitions. Advertising budgets will grow, but players will hardly be able to make a profit from – casino bonus conditions will probably worsen. The level of the players will slowly grow, most likely, so that competition will increase tables. Hopefully you will not suffer from these trends, I wish you every success in the game and happy year! © Copyright 2007-2008 www.bonus-map.com
