Online
Gambling:
My
How
You’ve
Grown
January
29,
2008
The
online
gambling
industry
is a
very
young
industry
when
compared
to
others,
but
it
has
grown
and
spread
in a
way
that
many
other
industries
would
not
be
able
to.
When
they
first
came
out
they
were
considered
somewhat
crude
and
elementary
for
those
that
chose
to
participate,
but
that
has
changed
over
the
years.
New
online
gambling
software
is
now
state
of
the
art
and
amazingly
created.
The
graphics
and
sounds
that
are
used
in
the
creation
of
the
various
online
gambling
games
many
times
make
you
feel
as
if
you
were
really
in a
casino.
As
the
demand
for
online
gambling
games
and
bigger
and
better
casinos
has
grown,
the
manufacturers
of
the
online
casino
games
have
found
themselves
needing
to
constantly
reinvent
the
way
we
look
at
the
internet,
and
how
we
view
gambling.
They
have
to
take
things
in
our
ordinary
lives
and
somehow
make
them
into
more
interesting
online
gambling
games.
Take
for
example
–
eBay.
Not
in a
million
years
would
anyone
have
linked
it
to
an
online
gambling
site.
However,
it
is
now
an
online
slots
game,
and
you
can
be
assured
that
if
it
is a
hit
it
will
make
its
way
into
the
B&M
casinos
as
well.
That
is
the
beauty
of
the
online
gambling
world.
Television
shows
like
Wheel
of
Fortune
and
Jeopardy!
have
cult
followings
in
the
online
slots
world
as
well
as
land
based
casinos,
but
the
potential
for
where
they
can
go
from
here
is
limitless.
As
more
and
more
money
gets
funneled
into
the
online
gambling
industry,
you
will
see
things
like
eBay
become
much
more
commonplace
in
online
gambling
circles.
