What I Like About Online Casinos
There are many different things that I like about the online casinos, but the number one thing that stands out amongst the rest is the fact that you can easily gain access to these online casinos from the comfort and privacy of your own home, all you need is a computer with internet connection and you are all set. You don't have to deal with the hassle of getting dressed and driving in traffic to get to the casino and there is no dress code to consider. You can play in whatever clothes you wish, including your pajamas or even buck naked if it suits your fancy. Also when you play at an online casino you are not restricted to any particular part of the house, you can choose to play in the comfort of your bedroom or in your bathroom on a laptop for that matter.
Another thing I like about online casinos is the free games. Online casinos offer lots of free games for newbies to play so that they can familiarize themselves with the rules etc, of the various games, before they start playing for actual money. This is a very good of way to go about learning the different games in the privacy of your home; you can take your time and read up on all the rules at your own speed. There is no one around to see you when you make a big "whoops" so to speak. There's no embarrassing yourself in front of other more experienced players. Best of all you can play as long as you like until you are satisfied that you feel comfortable enough with the games to start playing for real cash.
When you play at online casinos there is no need to worry about being robbed. No walking around with a wad of bills on your person, hoping that you will not get robbed or mugged. There are no rules on smoking in public areas, so you can have your little bar going on with your favorite type of beer and brand of cigarettes while you play at those online casinos. As a matter of fact you can even be listening to your favorite music or watching your favorite movie on DVD while you gamble online. The only rules here are the ones that you make, you are in charge at an online casino. You make your own rules.
Another great thing about online casinos is the free bonus offers that they love to offer to their existing members and often will open up to prospective members. Most of the best online casinos offer free signup bonuses to their prospective members as a way of enticing them to become a member of their online casino community. Existing members are usually given bonuses in the form of gifts such a dinner tickets, travel tickets etc, as an incentive to keep them coming back for more. There are certainly other things that I like about online casinos but these are the main things that come to mind at the moment.

What effects does online casinos have on the industry at large?
Has there been any studies conducted on the effects of online casinos? Are they taking away business from land based casinos? Are they increasing business?
Thanks for the answers so far!

Well, good luck citing this on your term paper, but…
I think a lot of online casinos get business from players who don’t live near a real life casino. Casinos still remain a destination for people who want to go there for the experience, anyway. I doubt there is much of an effect. There is probably more effect on money leaving a country to go to another that is housing online casinos. But I doubt it’s a noticeable drop in the pool.

you need to study GDP and trends…. I believe that many of the rules
favor off shore companies and the trend is on a 10,000 PERCENT A YEAR INCREASE <<<<<< you need to get your own facts on that
growth wise… just google online growth trends…
BUT JUST LIKE NAFTA when ross perot a billionaire said " you will hear a giant sucking sound of job lost and money out of this country if it’s passed"… then his LIFE WAS THREATENED by the very people who control the world… ( true ) THE NEXT WEEK he quit being public and pulled out of the presidential race for fear of his life and family being harmed or kids..
SO YES MORE PEOPLE WITH JOBS AND MONEY are showing up to the casino’s but WHAT’S THE PROVABLE TREND IS YOUR QUESTION… YOUR TEACHER WILL DEMAND PROOF OF the land
base casino’s shrinking or growing and that trend vrs ONLINE casino’s
sales trends and the implications of future forecasts and WHY that is..
good luck…. you should also tie in FAIR TRADE and how those parrels may be vital in understanding how world laws and our laws
produce results AND INFLUX OF GROWTH OR DECREASE WILL BE UP TO YOU BY TRACKING 10 years ago, 5, past 3 years current trend and forecast arguments
between land based future earnings and online and how the laws of what countries vrs ours vrs online laws and trends compare…… and intellectual thought but would make you
seem witty! HERE is some facts to get your thoughts flowing
again populate your own but these may foster direction….
What is the potential magnitude of this problem? Should practitioners and their clients be concerned? Part of the answer lies in the growing number of people participating in gambling. In 2000, the U.S. General Accounting Office reported that legalized gambling had spread to every state, except Utah and Hawaii. (9) Legalized gambling in the U.S. has seen a steady increase since the advent of Indian tribal casinos and the subsequent legalization of casino gambling by states other than Nevada. Gaming revenue for 2002 totaled $68 billion (up from $30 billion in 1992, or 127%), while in 2003, it totaled $73 billion, rising 7.4% from the previous year. (10) Of this total, $40 billion stems from casino revenue. (11) In addition, for 2004 (the most recent data available), 1.7 million taxpayers reported gambling winnings in the IRS totaling $23.3 billion. This is up from the 1.5 million taxpayers in 2003 who reported winnings of $19 billion. (12) An estimated 86% of Americans have participated in gambling in some form, and 63% reported gambling at least once in the past year. (13) The number of individuals visiting casinos in 2003 was 53 million–more than one quarter of the U.S. adult population. (14) Tax advisers should assume the same percentages apply to their clients, as gambling cuts across demographic and regional boundaries. As one tax observer recently noted, "Gambling is increasingly looked upon as a legitimate entertainment option akin to sporting events, the theater, and amusement parks." (15) What are the practical consequences of the spread of gambling?

Its true that people alwaz select those that they find convenient for them. For most people those who reside faraway from a brick and mortar casino these online casinos form to be the right way to play and enjoy themselves. With the emergence of the internet casinos, people have started to play online. So yes there has been an overall impact on the online casino industry
