International Journal for Slots and Casino News

Let’s face it – the Online Casino industry has been boming for a while now, and physical casinos have been raking in billions of dollars a year practically forever… And yet both industries saw an absolutely gigantic increase in revenue over 2015, to the point where they’ve began catching up to other huge entertainment industries such as movies and videogames. For reference, the highest grossing movies released in 2015 (several of which are in the top 10 highest grossing films of all time) didn’t even come close to what the casino industry got for the year – the top 10 most profitable films of 2015 got a total of $10 billion globally, while the casino industry earned more than 18 times that amount. If you think that’s pretty insane, then you’re absolutely right!

So, what does this data tell us? Well, first of all, that there’s a lot of high rollers who like to spend big on casino games – no surprise there, those people have always been around. But it also tells us that more and more newcomers are coming to the industry. Casinos are opening worldwide, and online gambling has been making slots and other games more accessible to the average Joe more than ever. 40% of the entire world population today is connected to the Internet – that’s three times more than 10 years ago. And since the online and physical casino industries generally help each other out (someone who’s had a fun time in a casino may want to keep playing online, or someone with online experience may want to try the real thing), is it really a surprise that both have been growing so much recently?

With all of this in mind, we decided that casino players – new ones and old ones, fans of real chips or online aficionados, from all over the world – will need a place where they can keep up with the latest in the world of casino. Reviews, news, strategies, guides and more awaits you right here, on the Journal! We hope you have a lot of fun!
