The past year has seen a huge growth in the popularity of playing at online casinos. That’s been particularly the case since the province of Ontario made online casinos legal. Those wanting to play at a live casino Сanada now have plenty on offer.
That was an important step to take as having a legal and regulated online casino industry has several advantages. Being safe and secure at online casinos is always desirable and if the site you play at is licensed and regulated, then that increases customer protection. Several sites that previously operated without complying to Ontario’s laws have now left the ‘gray market’ and are now licensed and regulated.
It’s also good news for gambling companies such as DraftKings who have been able to expand their business into Ontario. Figures released for the second quarter of 2023 (July 1 to September 30) have shown just how much the online casino is flourishing this year.
Total gaming revenue for casinos, sports betting and Esports totalled $267 million. The iGaming Ontario figures show a rise of nearly 65 per cent in total overall gaming revenue with online casinos contributing around 80 per cent. Total wagers rose by 48 per cent to a staggering $6.04 billion.
When it comes to playing casino games, there is still the desire to play at land-based venues. Gamblers love a night out at such venues. As the years have passed a visit to one also includes enjoying a good meal and drink as well as trying to get some wins on the gaming tables.
Those who enjoy playing online will have seen massive improvements in the quality of what is on offer. With the arrival of the metaverse the standards will only keep on rising. 3D and Virtual reality games are going to grow both in terms of numbers and quality.
Many gamblers find it difficult to adjust to playing at online casinos if their only previous experience is of land-based ones. Playing table games can be so different, especially when trying out the video versions of their favorite games.
More familiar to them and continually growing in popularity is the live casino section. This recreates the environment of a bricks and mortar casino. The games are set in a studio with live dealers that you can interact with. Tables have varying amounts that can be staked on them so those who play for fun and high rollers are both well catered for.
The ability to play at an online live casino on both your PC and mobile devices is opening up a new world to gamblers in Canada and is expected to see continual growth in an ever-changing industry.
