The recession has caused most of us to watch how we spend. People are watching the luxury things they spend on such as personal trainers, sports cars and holidays. I spoke to a personal fitness trainer in Notting Hill London and they said that the recession had certainly hit personal trainers in terms of new customers joining up for a bit of a lifestyle change and then dropping off but long term customers and customers serious about fitness were sticking to it and not going anywhere, the same could be said about online gambling. Online gamblers who are passionate about it are still here but lots of the newcomers who would have started gambling due to excess cash are not. Players are playing differently now in the recession. People are watching exactly how much they are gambling as they could be out of a job tomorrow. Alot more progressive slots are being played in hope of winning the progressive slots jackpot to beat the recession. High rollers who like games such as the high roller slots are still playing and not changing their budget much these kinds of players don’t always tend to be affected by the recession although if their companies are in trouble they may curb down their high roller antics.
