The 7 Sultans Online Casino App is finally available at ITunes

 

With the 7 Sultans Online Casino App finally available at ITunes, this casino is going to get so much more business than it did previously. Many people have never even heard of the 7 Sultans online casino in spite of the fact that it has actually been in operation since the year 1998.

Websites in all different industries that have existed since the 1990's and that are still in operation today have watched lots of different things happen over the course of their unusually long existences. Many websites barely make it through a single decade and lots of them fail within a year, so the websites that last for a really long time manage to go through stages that don't even exist for the younger ones that die young.

An open letter to the UK Government Richard Noble, speaking on behalf of the National Casino Forum

 

 

 

Dear Secretary of State,

As Chief Operating Officer at Aspers Casino, I sit on the strategy board of the UK casino trade association, the National Casino Forum (NCF) on whose behalf I now write. As you know, NCF represents all of the land-based casino operators in the UK. This also includes large scale operators like Genting and Grosvenor, independents such as the Hippodrome and Ritz Club and other high-end Mayfair casinos, as well as mid-range regional casinos.

As we have discussed with you, NCF is seeking simple legislative changes that will allow the casino sector to respond to customer demand, boost tourism and keep up with technological advances, whilst remaining at the vanguard of socially responsible gambling. Many of these proposals echo the recommendations of the Culture, Media and Sport’s Select Committee’s report into the working of the Gambling Act (The Gambling Act 2005: A bet worth taking, 2012).

Do Land Based Casinos Maximise Value From Their Poker Market?

Analysing the casino poker arena: by Carl “The Dean” Sampson

The game of poker in all of its various forms has been with us since the days of the old Wild West and frontier towns. The game has steadily grown in that time and it took the legendary heads up match between three-time World Poker Champion Johnny Moss and the prolific gambler Nick “The Greek” Dandalos to really drive the game forward. Then we had the arrival of the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas in the early 1970s and poker started to gain momentum.

Ice In The Desert

The ‘Foley’ of Ice Hockey in Las Vegas. By Victor H. Royer

In the third week of June, we broke several heat records here in Las Vegas. In some neighbourhoods – like mine – the temperature exceeded 120 degrees Fahrenheit. And don’t ask me what that is in Celsius! All Americans think that the decimal system should be discontinued entirely, because it is so confusing.

But – not to be outdone or upstaged – in yet another brilliant move, the billionaires and their corporate cronies and various money fund gurus from Wall Street, decided to put an Ice Hockey team into Las Vegas! I can just see the founding fathers of Las Vegas turning over in their graves! Who would have thought it? Ever?

But this was not an off-the-cuff moment.

Gaming School

Marcello Cascone, owner and Training Manager of Turin based gaming school. Interview by David McKee

Generally, training is not an easy task. It requires a mix of knowledge, passion and sacrifice. And training staff for the casino industry is not an easy task at all. You have always to keep in mind one basic thing: your customer during the training is not actually your student but the casino in which your trainee will start his/her career, with the added possibility that he or she could be in a managerial position inside the company in the near future.

Why are Classic Casino Games still the Most Popular?

The gaming industry is one that is driven by a unique meld of trends and patterns, which traverse the diametrically opposed worlds of tradition and innovation. So while developers are always striving to create something new and exciting, the majority of titles are built on classic, gaming patterns.

This is reflected through various cycles in history, which have seen recurring trends across several generations. These trends also reoccur across different gaming genres, with the online casino market providing a prominent example. Even though this is one of the most innovative markets available, the virtual casino platform cannot escape its roots or the gaming patterns of the past.
