Las Vegas Casino lose profits on rise of online casinos

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

Las Vegas Casinos have seen a reduction in their profits over the last decade with the increase in popularity of online casinos. It is to be expected that as the technology advanced in online gambling fairness, financial security and breakthroughs in game development that land-based casinos would remain outside the loop. While driving all the way to Las Vegas may be exciting, seeing the city in the middle of desert full of light and noise, it is not something you can do every month, much less every week. There are gas and hotel costs, food expenses, the inevitable shopping spree that one is tempted to do on holidays plus the actual wagers at the casino. So, a Las Vegas trips has it’s good and bad side while online casinos just offer their services to anyone interested, from the comfort of anybody’s home. There are no expenses for playing online, except what you intend to risk on the tables and the cost of your internet and computer. But if you already have the latter and are just looking for leftover cash to risk at the online casinos.

There are other obvious advantages of playing at an online casino. First of all you get hundreds of different slot machines in your screen and you don’t even have to get up to change to a new slot machine. Plus, the incentives online casino give to players such as bonuses, comp points, cashbacks and gifts, are all possible since they don’t incur on so many expenses as normal land-based casinos. They don’t have as many employees as a hotel-casino does, nor do they have to treat players every day to food and drinks as most land-based casinos do. Instead, they use their extra budget to entice players to deposit with promotional money and all the loyalty benefits we just mentioned.

There is little uncertainty now as to why Las Vegas casinos are not doing so well. Perhaps they should create their own online casino sites and catch up with trend.

Well it is finally here, we want to nominate a new casino slot as top internet slot game! Perhaps this may sound a bit over the top, but we believe the team of Rival-Gaming has created the perfect slot. It falls into the I-slot category which is the latest development in online slot gaming. The theme of the new slot is boxing and the appropriate name for this slot is: Heavyweight Gold.

This I-slots is 5 reels full of adrenaline fun. As other I-slots, the game has a theme that advances as you play the game. For Heavyweight Gold you must fight (box) and defeat by knockout three contenders to the world title. If you can do so, you will be crowned as champion of the world. But the task is not easy. In order to beat all three contenders you must fist access the bonus round. To trigger the bonus round, you need to play till you get 3 icons of the same contender in one spin. If this happens there is a change of scene and you no longer see 5 reels, but rather a whole stadium full of rooting fans that are here to experience a prime-time fight. The bonus rounds demand a lot of attention and skill. To defeat your opponent you must use your mouse buttons to defend when necessary and to punch accurately. The computer opponent may be swift and resilient so keep those punches steady on target. Your coach on the side will be giving advice as the fight goes on. Be careful because if you get hit hard you might not get up before the count to ten. If you get your opponent to stay down for the ten second count, you win the match by knockout.
Boxing Slot Fight
The different contenders a very amusing, each with their own peculiarities. Beating all three of them in a row is hard. Especially the last fighter which is very fast and strong.

Heavyweight Gold has taken slot games to a new level. This kind of interactive bonus rounds turns slot games into an exhilarating experience.
