Science Fiction Meets Science Fact with Online Casinos

Online casinos have been around since 1996, but they have certainly seen explosive growth, popularity and expansion in the 21st century. The reason for this slow transition to the virtual world is because technology needed to catch up with the vision. Moving from a brick and mortar casino paradigm to a virtual one required broadband, high speed internet connections to make it seamless and easy to play. In the early years, dial up made playing slow and laborious; hence, while casinos new value of reaching far flung audiences, they did not have the technology to get them there truly quickly.

Times have certainly changed, and the online casino world has grown into a multi-billion dollar success story. There are currently thousands of casinos online that have a combined income of USD $7,000,000,000+ and that figure is still growing. What makes these casinos unique from their brick and mortar cousins is the fact that they can be accessed from anywhere there is an internet connection. That means that people can play in the far reaches of the world where before they would have to take planes, trains and buses to get to a geographically located casino.
