Slump hits US gambling

The recession has affected the land casinos and the online casinos in a big way, with $1.6 billion less being spent in 2008 than the previous year.  US casinos have seen revenues fall 4.7% in 2008 down to $32.5 billion. It wasn’t just the recession that caused these low figures but also factors such as the smoking bans across the US.  The worst is apparently over and revenues should slowly be increasing once again.

Casino strip club

Do casinos and strip clubs mix if so would a land casino that is also a strip club be a good idea?  A high roller casino that combines is a strip club certainly sounds fun but gamblers when asked this question prefer to gamble in a non distracting environment so for that reason the answer seems to be no although certain land casinos in Vegas have had topless table dancers in the casino yet they don’t seem to get as much appreciation as on first thought would be expected.

Somehow men putting casino chips in the strippers thongs as they pass the baccarat table I don’t see looking as attractive as a few $50 dollar bills hanging out the side.

Land casinos vs online casinos for high roller gambling

High roller gambling tends to take place more in land casinos yet don’t forget there are some huge casino whales gambling every day online.  Land casinos have always been the place for high rollers as many like to show off and enjoy the atmosphere in a land casino that you don’t get at an online casino.  When analyzing high rollers people view the stereotype of a man with many gorgeous women clinging on to him as they blow on his dice on the craps table to give it a bit of luck.  This you must remember is the stereotype and not the real case.  Women high rollers especially in Macau are common and many high rollers like to gamble on private tables in the corners of land casinos where they can concentrate and enjoy the game for themselves not to show off to everyone around them.  Online casinos are used by these kind of high rollers in the same way.  Online gambling allows you to concentrate in peace in your own home.  Will online casinos ever create an atmosphere like land casinos to attract high rollers, maybe.  Live dealer online casinos are now common and very popular finding a seat on the tables is often hard due to the popularity of this form in online gambling.  Live dealer online casinos allow online high rollers to still show off to other players but as they are not face to face this doesn’t seem to be the same as the atmosphere in a land casino.

Changing the look of casino chips

Casino chips look different in all land casinos across the world for many people casino chip collecting is a hobby.  Today, the appearance of casino chips is something closely examined by the land casinos.  Often when going to casinos in London with my girlfriend she never knows the amounts people are gambling as the colours of the chips means nothing to her like it does most people unless they read the chart or frequent the casino regularly.  This asks the question should casino chips be made more obvious of their value or more discreet so as not to put off smaller rollers from gambling.  In today’s “bling” culture casino chips of £10,000 amounts for example could be made in bright gold with £10,000 written in big on the chip so high rollers can really show off to other players yet may put off smaller rollers.  In online gambling this is not the case as people don’t really tend to show off to the online computer generated dealer.  We here at Jackpotavenue would be interested to hear your opinions on the situation so if you could please email them to me at rob@jackpotavenue.com we will conduct a poll of the views held by most of you.

Fuel prices stopping high rollers gambling at land casinos

Las Vegas and many land casino destinations across the globe are suffering due to incredibly high fuel prices and now even high rollers gambling is slowing down as they are refusing to travel, well not altogether just not on their private jet.  Sean Combs otherwise known as P Diddy has refused to travel private jet and made a statement on You Tube announcing this as he feels fuel prices are so high and is making a point by not flying jet and is choosing to fly American Airlines now.  If high rollers stop flying the land casinos will really suffer as we already saw earlier this year with some casinos just losing 5 high rollers their overall revenue was cut 35%.  This is certainly a serious issue for the casinos and high roller incentives I am sure are to pop up from casinos such as larger lines of credit but with a credit crunch this may be hard.  Online casinos are certainly going to benefit from the fuel price rise with people staying home to gamble online.  If you are a high roller and want some advice about where to do some high rollers gambling then Jackpotavenue is your best resource read our high roller slots page this is certainly going to point you in the right direction.
