Software Gaming Giants Taking Strain

Gambling news from some of the world’s biggest online casino games software giants is in: PartyGaming and CryptoLogic are starting to take strain from the global recession. While this appears not to bode well for the industry, it must be seen in context of a larger global crisis that has all but hamstrung many industries. The good news is that CryptoLogic (developer of Marvel Comics games) has reported a spike in licensed game sales this year. Third quarter revenues are expected to dip a bit, but overall the only way forward for these operators is to adopt a strategic approach. Overall the casino industry has been largely resilient against a rampaging global crisis, but with the clouds already starting to clear, it is only a mater of time before things turn for the better.

One other thing about online casino is that bonuses that are being offered are incentives to online players by increasing the size of their bankrolls. The casinos are basically telling players ‘Game with us and we’ll give you some free money.’ But many folks are a little wary of ‘money for nothing’, but in essences that is exactly what online casinos are offering to their first-time gamblers. There is so much variety in the type and nature of online casino bonuses which are currently available. This alone makes it all too easy to get lost in the details of the bonus offer.
