		<description><![CDATA[Things have been rough the last several years for the U.S. casino industry. The nation’s casinos were hit harder than most businesses by the recession of 2008. With the industry relying on people spending disposable income on non-essentials, it was obviously one of the first to be scratched from the expenses of Americans who lost their jobs, took a pay cut, or are worried about losing their jobs. Though the U.S. economy overall continues to struggle, with a record number of people leaving the workforce, the number on welfare at an all-time high, and unemployment officially still over 8%, thinks are starting to improve for the casino industry. The first quarter of 2012 has shown a slight improvement for the American casino industry. Overall, the revenue from the country’s 492 non-tribal casinos increased by 3%. In addition, the tax revenue to the government increased 4.5% from 2010. Last year, the American casino industry made $35.6 billion and provided 339,000 jobs, which is a job loss of only 0.5% from 2010, far better than the national average. Employee pay increased by 3% last year, a contrast to American pay overall, which declined. In a story on http://news.google.com/, Frank Fahrenkopf, president of the American Gaming Association, said that the numbers are a sign that “the recovery of the national commercial casino industry is well under way.” This is good news for the American economy and of course for casinos in particular. Overall the economic recovery has been the slowest in America since ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Technological advancements tend to happen exponentially. Advancements that used to take decades then take years and those that used to take years take months. Each advancement makes the next advancement easier to come by, speeding the progress along. That holds true for technology within the gambling industry as well. In the beginning, the brick and mortar casinos and pubs had 3-reel fruit machines with low payouts and table games where the cards were dealt by hand. Then we came to the weighted slot machines, followed by the electronic slot machines and the progressive video slots. The cards in table games are now shuffled by machines. Online gambling has seen similar advancements. In the beginning, online casinos were a poor substitute for brick and mortar casinos. They were worth playing if you couldn’t get to the “real thing,” but the games were boring in comparison and didn’t have any bells and whistles. Since then, the online casino software has advanced to the point that the games have animations and bonus games, live video feeds, chat software, sophisticated algorithms that determine the outcome, and more. The online casino games feature three-dimensional graphics that are more lifelike. The games are more like playing at a brick and mortar casino, including the recent invention of the live dealer games. Those games allow players to play at a table that has a live dealer and watch and interact with that dealer over a video feed while they play. With the gambling technology advancing at such ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Online gambling isn’t an activity that you should do with a divided concentration. It’s not something you should do on a whim without really knowing what you’re doing. Because there is real money at stake, money that you can win or lose, you should play it smart. If you want to come out ahead rather than losing your shirt, you need to use gambling smarts. Using gambling smarts means to only play at online casinos that are considered to be safe and fair. That means to only play at casinos that are licensed, well regulated, use software that you trust, and have a good overall reputation within the industry. Using gambling smarts means to create a gambling budget before you ever play. Like all other spending, such as bills, essentials, and leisure activities, you should create a budget saying how much money you can afford to spend at an online casino. That tells you how much you can wager, lose it all, and still be okay. You hope to not lose all of your wagered money, of course, but using gambling smarts means planning for the worst. Using gambling smarts means playing the games that have the best odds. It means studying strategy for skilled games and making sure you give yourself the best chances of winning. It means taking advantage of tournaments, where you can play for prize money after paying only a small entry fee (and in some cases there is no entry fee at all). Smart gambling ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the Canadian city of Toronto continues to mull bringing a casino to town, a major player in Las Vegas says they want in on the action. According to http://www.cbc.ca/news/, MGM Resorts International wants to build a casino and entertainment complex to Toronto. Representatives from the company, which owns some of the biggest names on the Las Vegas Strip (the Bellagio, the Mirage, Mandalay Bay), have expressed interest in investing as much as $6 billion on a Toronto entertainment complex. Toronto Mayor Rob Ford supports bringing a casino to the city, believing that it will create jobs and rejuvenate the economy. The province of Ontario is staying out of the matter, saying the decision belongs to the city. A citywide referendum is likely to decide the question. MGM Resorts International sees this as an opportunity to expand into Canada and thinks that their unique brand and experience in Las Vegas would be an asset to Toronto. “If all someone is talking about is a room full of slot machines, Toronto could do that on their own,” said Alan Feldman, a spokesman for MGM. But if the city wants “more of a tourism and entertainment focus, that’s where we might step in and there may be an opportunity for us to come to town and invest quite a bit of money.” Though the plans obviously are only in the earliest stages, MGM wants to create a large complex where only about 5% of the floor space is used for the casino. ...]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="false">http://gambling.org/?p=2966</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[With the new casinos coming to the state of Ohio, the topic of gambling expansion is being dissected from seemingly every angle. Of the coming casino locations, the one in Cleveland has been the most discussed and controversial. A recent Yahoo News story makes a point of relaying the information that Cleveland is the third-poorest city in the entire United States of America. The casino opponents use that as a reason for not bringing a casino to the city. With the city being so poor, we don’t need to encourage people to gamble with their money, they reason. They say that the casino would increase the economic problems, leading to more people going broke and going on Welfare. According to the Census taken last year, 34% of Cleveland’s residents live at or below the poverty line. Cincinnati, another Ohio city that is getting a casino, is not much better with a 30.6% poverty rate that makes them 7th poorest in the nation. Poor people shouldn’t gamble. That much is clear. Unemployed people shouldn’t gamble. I doubt anyone would argue against that point, either. However, there is another side of the story worth considering. Poverty levels tend to go hand in hand with unemployment levels. Most people are poor either because they don’t have a job or because they are underemployed, meaning they need a full-time job but can only get part-time hours. Some are also poor because they have a job with low pay, such as minimum wage jobs. That’s ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Roulette is a classic casino game that is commonly associated with the casino experience. Along with craps, slots, and blackjack, roulette is one of the staples of the casino industry. It is a game of chance where players have no influence in the outcome, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have an influence over their bankroll. That comes in the types of bets you decide to make. In roulette, there is a wheel with 37 or 38 numbered pockets, depending on if it’s European or American roulette. The wheel is spun and then a ball is rolled in the opposite direction. As the wheel slows down, the ball lands in one of the pockets, determining the winners and losers. There are a number of bets that you can place and they are divided into two groups: inside bets and outside bets. Generally, payout odds have an inverse correlation with probability odds, meaning the less likely something is to happen, the better it pays. Inside bets pay the best, such as a 35 to 1 payout for betting on a single number. They also happen the least often (there are 37 to 1 odds against a single-number bet). Other popular inside bets include a split (two adjoining numbers), a street (three horizontal numbers), a corner (four numbers in a square layout), and more. Outside bets are the opposite. They have the best odds of occurring but have the worst payouts. That makes them a lower risk than inside bets, but with ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you’re looking for good and safe slots, you need to look at who makes them. There is a small group of well-known, reputable casino software developers that make the games used by most of the popular sites. Each of those software companies has certain things they excel at, but all of them are quality companies. One of the best developers for online slots is Microgaming. As their Wikipedia page says, Microgaming was one of the first online casino software developers in existence. They launched in 1994, before the Internet was as popular or prevalent as it is today. The company is based in the Isle of Man and its software is considered one of the safest and most exciting to play. As one of the founders of the industry, Microgaming has a long, solid reputation to stand on. The software is regularly tested to ensure that it is fair to players and provides adequate protection. In 2002, Microgaming released a new software platform, called Viper, which improved the interface and brought faster response times. If you are looking for the best online slots, like those at onlineslot-machines.org, Microgaming is a good place to start. Microgaming’s slots are known for having superior graphics and sound. In fact, many experts consider Microgaming to have the best graphics and sound of any game designers. Microgaming also earns top marks when it comes to game variety. In addition to many of the most popular branded slots, Microgaming has a good number of unique ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite the fact that it’s not exactly legal, online gambling is thriving in Australia. In a story recently found on http://news.google.com.au/, it was reported that online gambling is the fastest growing form of gambling in Australia. Gambling at online casinos and online poker rooms and betting online on sports is becoming more popular than visiting a land casino or playing the lottery. This was reported by a recent study conducted by Southern University’s Centre for Gambling Education and Research. The research found that half of the 6,500 online gamblers they surveyed first started playing online within the past six years. Estimates are that Australian citizens spend $600 million annually on online gambling. To complicate things, the legality of online gambling in Australia is complicated. There are no online gambling websites that are licensed, regulated or approved in any way by the government. In fact, laws ban online gambling, making it illegal for the online casinos to operate in Australia, either by accepting Australian customers or by advertising within the nation. However, it is not illegal for the Australian citizen to play online. On every transaction with an Australian player and an online casino, the casino is breaking the law but the player is not. Some in the government want to change that and pass a law making the player’s end illegal as well. Senator Nick Xenophon is the most outspoken about trying to ban online gambling from the country, thinking it causes societal problems like crime and problem gambling. According ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The gambling industry is always evolving, and that includes online. In the beginning, online casinos were nothing more than a website for playing games by yourself, games that you would rather play in a brick and mortar casino. They were fun for gamblers but the games were so isolated that many found them to be lacking. Things have changed since then. Current online casinos are much more interactive. The key to making online casinos fun is making it more like the experience of going with your friends to party and gamble in Las Vegas. Recent advancements have brought the online gambling casino closer to achieving that. Many online casinos offer live communication between players, either through a chat room, instant messaging or verbally by using microphones. Allowing players to communicate makes it less of a lonely activity and makes the games more enjoyable. To take things a step farther, many online gambling casinos also offer live-dealer games. In those games, instead of simply playing against a computer program and seeing nothing but your cards or dice, you watch a live video feed of a real dealer who is working at your virtual table. That allows you to put a face on the dealer and it makes the experience more personable. Players are also usually able to communicate with the live dealer through a chat room interface. The other interactive feature that makes online gambling casinos more exciting is the tournament. In the casino tournaments, players can compete against each other ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you want to get better at online gambling, you have to constantly look for more information. You should look for tips, strategies, promotions and anything else that can give you an advantage. When looking for all of that, you probably don’t think a website like YouTube can help, but it can actually be a valuable resource. If you go to http://www.youtube.com/, you will find countless videos that are entertaining but pointless. The website is full of videos of people falling, kittens looking cute, bad tribute videos, untalented musicians ruining a good song, and illegally copyrighted material from TV. However, once you get past all of that, you can find some good online gambling content. YouTube is a good source for strategy and tips videos. You will find people teaching you blackjack basic strategy as well as how to count cards. Because you get to watch it rather than just reading about it, visual learners will have an easier time absorbing and retaining the information. Tips on the different bets you can place in games like roulette and craps are also useful. In addition to tips and strategy, you can find video reviews on YouTube. On the website, you will find reviews of popular online slots as well as of the casinos themselves. Video reviews are nice because they allow you to see the casino and games and what they look like instead of just reading about them. Watching the software play out can tell you a lot about the ...]]></description>
