Gibraltar Casinos in Lockdown

: Özgür Töre; 04 May 2020

As the Corona Virus continues its sweep through the world so we are witnessing the lockdown of businesses and services that, for some, will sadly be the end of trading., and as government spending increases to fight covid19 the spending of public money decreases ballooning debt to extraordinary levels – levels never before witnessed.

Gibraltar has long been the centre of many gambling companies, its low tax rates encouraged companies to make their offices there and operate under the rules and regulations of the Gibraltar gambling authority.

Not only is ‘The Rock’ home to many large online gambling operators it also has its fair share of popular land-based venues which attracted many of the tourists that either come in from Spain or from the many cruise ships that dock there for a day or evenings entertainment.

Because none of us are completely sure when our world is going to be safe to travel in and for us to be able to gather in larger numbers many of are turning online to get some casino action, and although it might not be quite the same as going out for an evening with family and friends it can certainly offer a lot of fun and entertainment whilst staying safe at home.

We all need structure to our days and some planning in place – events like holidays, travel, celebrations and other such gatherings of friends and family are no longer on the cards for the foreseeable future but it is still important to be able to have some entertainment where we can have a little excitement within our days.

Spinning the Wheel Online

For those who have enjoyed a game in a land-based casino, perhaps on holiday or at your local venue then you will know the pull of the roulette table. There is something thrilling about waiting for the wheel to stop spinning to see which number will be picked, and once you have followed a guide about the famous roulette table then playing online can be as thrilling as if you were in a casino on a night out.

Difference in Diversity

Besides the obvious difference of players not actually being in a bricks and mortar casino playing online has other differences, especially the live games.

Live online roulette is streamed from a real venue and is played in real time with a real live human dealer or croupier. Players can chat with the staff and other players via the chat feature and getting a seat at an online live roulette table can take a couple of minutes (unlike playing those games that use a random number generator to choose the numbers.)

Another big difference is the variations of games on offer and the bonuses and promotional offers that players can use on the roulette tables, and throughout the online casino.

Bonuses and promotional offers really can make a bank roll expand allowing players to enjoy more games than normally. Being able to try out a number of variations or even a completely new game can add a lot of fun and excitement to time spent online. Remember though, if you do decide to try any bonus or promotional offer to read all the requirements that could be attached to bonus monies before opting in.
