5 Interesting Facts about Online Casinos
The world of online gaming is one that’s full of intrigue and surprise. Not only are there many entertaining games to be played across a wide range of niches, there are also many intricacies that help make it such an exciting niche. In this article we’ve outlined five of the most interesting facts about online casinos. You can view the full list, below.
1. The Biggest Online Jackpot
There are seemingly an endless number of stories about the ‘biggest’ winner in an online casino. Not surprisingly, there are many people who have won millions, particularly with the rise of progressive jackpots. This is where each play and player contributes towards a rolling jackpot that can be won by an individual. Although the odds are definitely stacked against this kind of win, there have been plenty of winner on online slots games. The biggest (at the time of writing) goes to a UK player, who won a staggering €17,879,645 playing Mega Moolah in 2015.
2. The First Online Casino
Gambling has been around for centuries and is deeply ingrained in many societies. The dawning of the internet age has seen a new found interest in gaming, across a range of different devices. For example, more and more people are using mobile phones to game for money. However, the oldest online casino was launched back in 1994 as a joint venture between Microgaming and CryptoLogic. Although the industry has changed a lot since then, this can definitely be considered to be the foundation of the online casino as we know it today.
3. The Value of Online Casinos
Online gaming is as popular as it’s ever been, and a huge amount of money is spent globally in the business. According to some sources, in 2015 the global market value of online gambling worldwide was estimated to be around $37.91 billion. This is nearly double what it was back in 2009. Predictions suggest that by the year 2020 the market could be worth close to $60 billion.
4. The Age of Online Casino Users
A recent 2017 study into the average age of online casino users in the UK showed that the age group that was most active was between the age of 35 and 44 years old. 21.6 percent of respondents in this age range stated that they took part in a form of online gambling in the past four weeks. The lowest proportion of online gamers came from the 65+ age group.
5. The Gender of Online Casino Users
One recent study suggested that as many as 84% of online gamblers were male. This is a huge proportion, and perhaps is reflected by the types and styles of many games in the industry. However, data suggests that female gamblers are on the rise.
