Dad’s
old adage that money doesn’t grow on trees came into question when
Casino Fortune (www.casinofortune.com),
the world’s oldest Internet casino, reached the two billionth dollar
mark in gambler payouts.
Online
gamblers routinely keep a “bank” of money with an Internet casino
so that they can play without having to repeatedly give a credit card
number. As their winnings grow, gamblers request a payout via check or
wire transfer. Earlier this month, a quiet woman on Staten Island, New
York requested a payout and received (within the payout) the two billionth
dollar from Casino Fortune.
Casino Fortune’s clientele consists mainly of Americans, due in part
to their reputation as an old and trusted Internet casino. Industry analysts
estimate that just over five million Americans gamble online.
“When
you run a casino right, you can reach the two billionth dollar mark, have
a plethora of satisfied customers, and still make a decent living”
said Casino Fortune Senior Vice President Dennis Rose. “On one hand,
this means that two billion dollars went out the door; but on the other
hand, we know that every dollar paid out means that our customers are
happy and come back to play again”.
The
recent payout by Casino Fortune was indicative of a large reality surrounding
$6.3 billion Internet gambling industry. As gamblers continue to log on
and double down, industry leaders such as Casino Fortune continue to thrive
due to rigid self regulation and a focus on customer service that land-based
casinos are unable to achieve.
