Xbox Online Gambling

February 28, 2009

It was only a matter of time really before more and more gaming systems started trying to figure out how online gambling could relate to them. It started with popular games like Golden Tee becoming slot machine versions of their games, and online casinos looking to see how they might be able to translate games to their casinos.

Now Barriere Interactive Gaming is looking to see how they might add online gambling to the Xbox. Their operating chief Jonathan Stock says that their Le Croupier 3D online casino game could be accessible through the gaming system fairly shortly. They say that the Xbox or the Sony Playstation could be offering the online gambling version of the game before you know it.

The online gambling version of the game is set to be released next month, but they really see it going much further than just at your local online casino. They know that they designed it for online gambling, but they always had other applications in mind � like those in the gaming systems.

Stock said that they are currently in negotiations with one of the two main game console companies, although he declined to say which one of the two. He said that they were in �active discussions� and that they expected an answer to be forthcoming. It is undoubtedly something that online gambling fans would be interested in having happen, especially if they already own one of the systems. It would truly open a whole new world for both gaming and online gambling.
