The Growing Pains of the Online Casino Industry

A Look Back in Time: The Growing Pains of the Online Casino Industry

We all remember the ugly websites of the 90’s, most were monotone in appearance at best. Worse than than how they looked though was how they operated. They took several minutes to download a simple page, and if it was a gambling site, forget about playing the game within two to three minutes of starting a download, it was more like two to three hours. The primitive graphics, poor quality and lack of downloadable games made gambling online a chore instead of a fun past time. Like all online websites, especially those in the gaming area, these issues were  just the growing pains of the industry and the first stage of the gambling software evolution.

Online Breakthrough

Within just a few years,  a real gambling revolution occurred.  Casinos provided downloadable packs where a user could install any game they wanted, or all of them together, to their personal computer and enjoy playing any time they wanted.

Developers took advantage of this new industry and came out with thousands of apps that would help, entertain and educate people all via their mobile devices. The smartphone evolution touched casino business as well. First hazard apps appeared in 2007. They were simple and small programs you could download and play, but as simple as they were, they didn’t catch on very well and were not that popular.

Online Casino’s Today

Now we come to where we are today, where anyone can enjoy gambling online from anywhere that gets a signal and from almost any platform they’re using.
