Estimating the Casino Market
I am looking for some figures estimating the online casino market as a whole. I have the figure of 2.0 EUBN for the online casino market from February 2008 with a forecast of 3.2 EUBN for 2012, estimated by Global Betting and Gaming Consultants. (Figures used by for the example Unibet.)Now I wonder if anyone has more recent estimates? An estimate is an estimate of course, but in this ever-changing legal climate it would be nice to have more fresh figures than February 2008.


Lucky Player Walked Away with over $560,000

Player “Cristophe R” from Aix-En-Province is reported to have won a total of $567,860 playing Desert Treasure and Lotto Madness at Cyprus-based French-language Casino770.com.
Desert Treasure is a game based on the ancient Egyptian theme, while Lotto Madness is a five-slot lottery-themed game.
The winner’s original bet totaled to $6.16, so it means that the player won 100,000 times his original bet.
Casino770.com’s slot machines become more and more popular. Consequently, the number of record win is sure to grow.

New Online Casino Offers Action

Slots machines for many gamblers are the source of fun. And the news that IGT-Wageworks has made it possible for personal gamers to purchase their own land or internet-based slots game that they can use for free cannot but be taken enthusiastically.

The games available are company’s most popular titles. They have been designed to deliver real casino experience right to your home.

U.S. Law Against Online Gambling Evokes Criticism- Free Casino Online

The law against online gaming advertising recently introduced in the U.S. is receiving much criticism. More over it has intensified after the new developments in the federal case against BetOnSports advertisers that has been in process for about two years.
William Hernan Lenis, William Luis Lenis and Manny Lenis plead guilty in a St. Louis court to their involvement in the advertising of BetOnSports’ sportsbook website, if to be exact the interstate transportation of online gambling merchandise, the transmission of online gaming information and misdemeanor counts.
Between the year 2000 and 2006, Hernan Lenis’ mailing company called “Direct Mail Expertise” distributed around 2 million BetOnSports ads. The family’s attorney claims that they were involved in marketing aspects only. Yet, all three Lenises will be charged in October with jail time.
