Times are tough in today’s economy.  The economy has not seen as bad a low point since the Great Depression.  Businesses are failing left and right, that is if they are not bailed out by the federal government.  Those that manage to survive are suffering significant loses in business.  The story has been very different for online casinos who have not only managed to survive but thrive in the storms of a failing economy.

There is really no mystery as to why online casinos are doing so well.  The first obvious reason is that they have taken business away from brick and mortar casinos as less and less people willing to travel long distances to stay in overpriced hotels.  Online casinos are also doing well because in times of economic struggle, the average person is seeking escape.  Online casinos have been a great outlet. 

Gambling has always been a source of escapism, only at one time people resorted to the brick and mortar casinos for that release.  Online casinos were only able to pull a close second to the revenues produced at brick and mortar casinos.  However, things seem to be changing.  As brick and mortar casinos must keep the hotels, restaurants, and entertainment venues alive with their gambling operations, online casinos are free only to focus on the gambling; the part of the industry that has always been recession proof.  In some case revenues at online casinos are beginning to surpass those of brick and mortar casinos.

Even brick and mortar casinos are seeing the potential of what they used to consider a rival and are trying to find ways of utilizing online casinos to supplement their business.
