Interesting Facts About Online Casinos

[Viscore]

Fact number 7 is probably the surprising fact for me since i've been playing at Evolution gaming countless times already and I still haven't seen that tipping feature. I would've tipped a few dealers if the feature was more visible or maybe it's only limited to a few tables or casinos.

The last one was obvious but it's still an interesting one knowing it has a high house edge you would've expected fewer people to play the game but it still remains popular as more providers make different variations of slots.

I also didn’t know that it’s existing. I mean tipping is very visible in land based casinos but with online casino, I never have got the chance to tip someone even if I really want to. But thanks to you OP, at least now I’m aware. However, for the last fact, I guess it’s very obvious, slots are the most played especially for beginners in gambling. And there’s always exciting new games in slots that keep us coming in casinos, that is why slots are the most popular and the most profitable game not just for the house, but for gamblers as well.

My curiosity drove me to research and create this topic. Covid -19 saw the proliferation of online casinos and the statistics of have been increasing by the day. Today, my intention is to with you some interesting facts about online casinos. Some you may know while others you may not know. I hope you learn a thing or two.

FACT 1: The First Online Casino Hit the Web in 1994
It’s hard to believe that online casino gaming has been around for more than 25 years, but that is in fact the case. Developed by Microgaming, a company undoubtedly ahead of its time, the first online casino popped up just about 100 years exactly after the first slot machines started making their way onto the casino floor.

I find this very interesting I just become active on the internet in 2000 back in that era or time it was hard to connect to the internet because its dial-up when it become easy to use the internet and the explosion of Cryptocurrency and online transactions that's the time the online casinos become very popular

FACT 2: At any time, 1 in 10 internet users is gambling.
11% of internet activity worldwide is made up of gamblers using online casinos.

This is one of the contributing factors to why Cryptocurrency is moving, the gambling industry has a huge contribution to its growth.

FACT 2: At any time, 1 in 10 internet users is gambling.
11% of internet activity worldwide is made up of gamblers using online casinos.

Considering 5.16 billion people in the world access internet, according to this data, it means 567 million internet users in the world are gamblers. And only 64% of world' population is believed to access internet, so there is another portion of gamblers among the rest of 36% global population who are also gamblers, but at land based casinos exclusively. Very interesting numbers regards the imposing gambling adoption worldwide.

Yes I am also amaze how gambling affects people. It is really new for me to read these things and #2 is the best for me. I don't know that thing I thought most of the people online tend to spend their time on social media or web2 I didn't know that there is more people who gambles. I am just curious which country has the most spent time in gambling. It really shows as well that people gamble maybe often because they want to really stress by this activity.

FACT 3: Roulette is “the devil’s game.”
Roulette is sometimes called “the devil’s game” because the total of all the numbers on the wheel is 666 hence it is often associated with the devil’s supposed number.

I think this is not appropriate to be called a fact but rather just trivia since it was subjective and others won't surely buy that crap, especially in today's generation where roulettes is now a usual thing in gambling.

Obviously, roulettes have nothing to do with that devil-related stuff.

It's just that the game was addictive to the point that there are people turning into devil-like attitudes. But generally, all gambling types can turn people into showing their bad behavior in gambling so it applies to all, not just to roulettes.

[Hispo]

FACT 2: At any time, 1 in 10 internet users is gambling.
11% of internet activity worldwide is made up of gamblers using online casinos.

This caught my attention, because I assume the data they used to come up with this is from western countries or countries where it is easy to gather this information. In the case of countries like China or Russia, one can only guess and estimate through other mechanisms like surveys, for example.

It would be nice to read a summary on the methodology they selected and who the population of gamblers on internet intercepts with those who use Bitcoin, watch adult content or shop online.

FACT 6: 90% of slots players opt for online casino gaming than at land-based casinos
Only 10% of punters choose to play slots at a land based casino while 90% of the players choose online casinos. This means that it is more interesting to play games online.

I honestly think any normal slot-only player would choose to play on online casinos than brick-and-mortar. Ofc this doesn't include say incidental visits or if they plan to play other games, but in general if you were only planning to play slots, why bother going to a casino? Though that only applies to recent times I reckon, with the boom of online casinos compared to the past. I reckon most casino visitors play table games like Roulette, Blackjack, Poker, etc. anw.

Seriously, a direct tip? How's the payment or transfer happened?

Wouldn't the casinos set that up themselves? Wouldn't put it past me that they made their dealers create a casino account and any tips are just automatically transferred there so that they can entice their dealers to gamble it back to them lmao. Never really seen it though.

[Fundamentals Of]

These are interesting trivia. But are they really sure of these information? For example, is it really true that 90% of slot gamblers prefer to play the game online rather than in a land-based casino? It seems hard to believe.

Of course I know that slots is one of the most popular online casino games, but if you enter a land-based casino you will also notice how slot machines are also filled with many people. It's hard to imagine that this many slot gamblers in land-based casinos comprise only 10% of the entire slot gamblers.

[Strongkored]

FACT 2: At any time, 1 in 10 internet users is gambling.
11% of internet activity worldwide is made up of gamblers using online casinos.

This is not surprising or strange because when someone has access to the internet, he will get a lot of new things, including gambling, so even though he didn't intend to gamble at first, he can become a gambler when he knows about it and tries to start gambling, especially advertisements about gambling games like slots sometimes appear in many applications so those who don't know eventually find out too.

FACT 6: 90% of slots players opt for online casino gaming than at land-based casinos
Only 10% of punters choose to play slots at a land based casino while 90% of the players choose online casinos. This means that it is more interesting to play games online.

FACT 8: Most Popular Game
Not only are slots almost exclusively played online these days, but they are also the most popular game. Perhaps the rules of table games such as roulette and craps are too hard to get the hang of or maybe people just like the mindless fun after a long day in the office. But whatever the reason slots are by far and away the most popular games to play.

these two facts are almost related. because currently the development of advanced technology is increasing and almost gamblers around the world are moving from land-based casinos to online casinos for reasons that are more practical and faster to reach, you don't need to waste a lot of time walking to land casinos.
well, in the statement I wrote after many gamblers moved from land-based casinos to online casinos, they became more interested in slot gambling on the grounds that this kind of gambling is easier to bet on, you don't need to have a lot of strategy, you only need to press the spin button. but even though many gamblers have switched to choosing to gamble in slot games, occasionally they also try to bet on dice and roulette to experience a good gambling experience in online casinos.

In conclusion, in the current new order of sophisticated technological developments, all gamblers will prefer to switch to online casinos for easier access.

FACT 7: You can tip the dealer in online live casino games
Just like in land based casinos, some operators like Evolution gaming provide the player to tip the live dealer in appreciation for good service in case they wish to do so.

for this fact I stated the same as several other members that as long as I was at the online casino I had never noticed the TIP button to give a little appreciation to the Evolution provider.

Why do I feel that this info has been copied from an older forum thread(or somewhere else)?
Do we really need to know that kind of stuff? Should we really care about "the first online casino" or "the devil's game"?
There's nothing interesting about knowing that 80% of the gamblers are men. It's pretty obvious that almost all gamblers are men.
Slots are the simplest gambling games, that even retards can play. It's obvious that the simplest gambling games are the most popular.
Some really interesting fact I wanna know is how much the online casinos are making per year and how much taxes are they paying in the countries where gambling is allowed.

[lienfaye]

FACT 2: At any time, 1 in 10 internet users is gambling.

This is not surprising because many people prefer to gamble online than going to a physical casino. We know how convenient it is to play wherever you are as long as there's an internet.

Fact number 7 is probably the surprising fact for me since i've been playing at Evolution gaming countless times already and I still haven't seen that tipping feature.

Same here. I'm often playing live games by evolution but have not seen this feature or is there a specific casino where it is visible?

Agreed, these facts aren't necessary to be known. However certain things are general, and we aren't aware of those things. Going through the OP will let you have a small understanding about the online gambling from its beginning days. Some facts I prefer to be known were something like Sweden got highest number of female gamblers than male gamblers. More than 80% of the American population have gambled in their lifetime.

[maydna]

Another interesting fact is that online casinos experienced rapid development during the past pandemic. It seems that was the starting point for online casinos to become more popular than before because people cannot leave their homes. Still, they can browse many sites via the internet. And it also triggers the development of crypto casinos to become more known by many people because they see many advertisements about online crypto casinos. It makes gamblers like finding other beautiful internet places at home due to the lockdown in many countries.

FACT 5: Online gambling and gender
Online casino gamblers are predominantly male. It is considered that about 11% of those people who access the Internet actively use gambling websites. Annual statistics say that over 80% of the people in the online casinos are going to be male. Of course, this does incorporate all forms of Internet gambling, so betting is also included. Another interesting fact is that gamblers tend to be over the age of 30 years, and this serves them well because gambling problems are predominantly in the younger male gambler who is 7.5 times more likely to become addicted and have a financial crisis than their female counterparts.
I must add that this is dependent on the location. For example this research suggest that more than half of all active Swedish players are women

It is what we all know that gambling is dominated by men. But in terms of addiction, when a woman gets involved in gambling and becomes addicted to it then the worse is yet to come.
I've seen and heard stories about a gambler woman who became addicted and then has no money left to gamble. She did all crazy stuff and you know what I mean when a woman is involved, as in everything. That includes selling off everything she owns like her real estate properties, jewelry, and other investments, and yeah, also her physicality.

Fact number 8 is a well known one.That will continue to be the top for many years to come and the reason is simple,in slot machines we have a huge variety of slots,themes,sounds,graphics and what is most important different bonus games mechanics in almost every slot,almost all of them have a unique bonus.Beside this in most of these games you can have the option to buy in the bonus game or feature game when you are feeling that luck is not on your side at specific times so you don't go away bored without trying the bonus game.

All that is true, and yet I think that the main reason why online sots are so popular that no other type of online games can be even compared to them is that people find unpredictability exciting. When you place a bet of $1 on one number in a roulette game, you will either lose your bet, or you will win 35x of your bet. And you can say with certainty that whatever you do, you will never win 40x of your bet or more. While with slots you can win $0.10 or $10,000, or more, and it's totally unpredictable what's going to happen.

Yeah another thing is easy and simple, someone without any experience, no knowledge or skill about gambling is same with an experienced, knowledgeable, and skillful gambler when both of them playing slots. The outcome is 100% depends on their luck, except the game is rigged due to not provably fair, untrusted provider, or manipulated. It's not surprising to see someone deposit large amount of money just for playing 1 game, he will keep spin until he hit the highest multipliers.

[mvdheuvel1983]

These are interesting facts and I would have been surprised if slots is not the most popular game at casino. Slot you so popular that even have seen some website where you can just play it for free just for the thrill of fun of it. And the most interesting thing about slot is that it is not restricted to gender or age. It also requires less skill so anyone can play it.

I agree that when it comes to gender there are more men gambling that women. At least I can speak from personal experience in my own environment. In addition from the fact number for I want to add that even in places where gambling is legalized most people prefer online gambling because of the is accessibility and convenience.

[robelneo]

FACT 4: In some places, citizens can ONLY gamble online.
There’s at least one place in the world where residents are banned from gambling in person, but they can still get their kicks online. That place? Monaco. Yes, Monaco with the glamorous, world famous casinos that feature in James Bond movies. It seems only tourists and superspies get to step inside that elegant world.

How ironic and very fascinating, usually tourist attractions in any country the first ones that will benefit or experience its beauty is its citizen, this is the only time that it's not happening, there's no difference between the two,
online and physical casinos, instead of its citizen spending money to play outside of their country, they should allow its citizen it's useless law if they allow their citizen to play online, then let them play in their own backyard, so their people's money will go to their coffer.

* You do not have to place the biggest bet to win more money Players have been known to win large sums of money and jackpots in online casinos after making a small bet. The winnings depend on chance rather than the size of the bet.
