The other day, an ebook author contacted me with a new gambling ebook on Amazon, made for Kindle users, and asked if I’d like to review it. Alan Samonte’s most recent book on gambling; “Gameplay that works” sounds interesting, and I think you’re hitting a real uptrend here. It’s like we’ve recently seen a bit of growth in the number of players in the last couple of months.
Interestingly, I have written quite a bit on the subject of gambling. You see, after traveling around the US, I’ve been to all the major game areas, and a few small ones too, mostly on Indian reservations or near state lines, rivers, or other areas in the gray area of the law. , allowing such.
In fact, I’ve seen seniors fascinated by slot machines, brought in by the packed bus, Asian tourists, and high rollers. I have also visited the outskirts of Las Vegas, where the “slums” are similar to re-enactments in the movie “Pay it Forward” and have met gambling addicts as well as those who love to have fun in moderation. so my experiences and observations indeed run the gambit. Still, things seem to be on the rise in the game world, why I can only guess.
My conclusion is that the economy and future prospects are causing some of this. Of course, the rest is just good casino marketing, branding, and all the special offers, players clubs, and incentives. For those who just like to have a little fun and not go broke or play beyond their means, it’s a great way to entertain. For others, well, there are some sad stories, of course, but since we live in a free country, we must also understand the election.
Why do I see the game rising? Well, everywhere I look, in the media, online, and in the real world, there’s growth in the gaming industry, and it’s very competitive, not just in the US, but around the world, and not just In the real world. but online too.
Recently in Japan Today there was a story about how Japan wants to open up gambling in the country and claims that the government needs the money and could tax the income, instead of losing when the Japanese travel to Macau, Singapore and Las Vegas. Vegas.
There have been reports that the US Congress may give in to pressure to legalize online gambling in the US as they first clean up the current illegal online gaming sector. For example, the WSJ published on February 28, 2012 an article “Bodog Gambling Site Shut Down Amid Ongoing Crackdown” and “US Shuts Down Sports Betting Site, Charges Bodog Founder”.
There was an interesting article in the Atlanta Business Journal about Leap Day 2012 titled; “Developer Proposes Billion Dollar Gambling Complex” written by Carla Caldwell, who stated that a GA developer “wants to build a hotel, theater and arcade with 7,500 video lottery machines, which could generate $350 million annually for the struggling state’s HOPE Grant program. Even though state lawmakers are looking for ways to help HOPE, stakes proposals don’t typically garner widespread support.”
There was another segment on CBS News on March 1, 2012 titled; “Florida House Votes To Ban So-Called Internet Cafes,” which discussed how people were going online at Internet cafes and gambling online, which is against Florida and US law to for people to do that, while the Café stated that it doesn’t tell people what they can and can’t do online, even though the venue is set up to gamble online this way. The segment stated that FL legislators voted to shut down 1,000 of these types of ‘storefront operations’ and one legislator dramatically stated;
“This is truly the crack cocaine of gambling”, and the segment went on to say; Internet cafes sell customers phone cards or Internet time. But they also offer customers the opportunity to redeem electronic sweepstakes on computers using software that mimics casino-style gaming.”
Okay, so what is it about the game that intrigues humans so much? It turns out that there is a very real psychological reason for human gaming, and I bet it will increase as human minds in our society continue down the path of instant information, entertainment, and the need to be globally connected in real time and have a continuous connection. mental stimulation – something that definitely provides the game with all its excitement, fear and fun.
In CA we have a lot of Indian casinos that offer deals on food and fun gambling although gambling is not allowed in CA but these are on Indian properties of course which is common throughout the USA due to Because the game is so much fun, it appeals to people from all walks of life; grandmothers, CEOs, unemployed and even those who are in charge of enforcing everything. It breaks all the barriers of race, religion, nationality, socioeconomic levels and intelligence levels. Gambling is a human thing, I doubt we can stop it if we try.
If people don’t play in casinos, they will play at the racetrack, the stock market, in business, or in some other activity where they can pit opportunity against the possible eventuality of monetary gain. In fact, I hope you will please consider all of this and think about it.
