Our weekly gambling news finds some interesting numbers in regard to gaming industry recovery and expansion in America! The once reviled online slots and casino games are actually helping the industry recover from the pandemic! Also, Resorts World Las Vegas is having a grand opening this week, with 1,400 slot machines ready to go!
Over the past several weeks we’ve been discussing this post-pandemic explosion of gambling all across the country. It’s had a lot to do with the expansion of sports betting… a lot. But not all. Many states are now reporting record revenue numbers for online slots and casino games. States like Pennsylvania, where web based slots are up 70%, generating nearly $100 million in the month of May! And in New Jersey, internet casino games and slots pulled in more than $100 million!
Meanwhile, Resorts World Las Vegas is set for their grand opening this week! And when they do, your money will be no good there… at least, not for their games as their casino floor will be completely cashless! Calling themselves the most “technologically advanced” casino on The Strip, Resorts World will use smart tables and digital wallets. Players can fund their digital wallet by using a bank account, a credit card, or even PayPal. Resorts world will open with 1,400 slot machines and over 100 table games, along with a poker room and a sports book… all completely cashless! And if they’re successful, you can bet your ass that all the other Vegas casinos are going to follow right along!
Now, we’ve covered poker, sports betting, and online gambling in America… why not get to this week’s game review for a casino skill game? It’s the follow-up to the popular Beat Square Tournament from our friends at Konami! The Beat Square Single Player game tests players response time, rhythm, and coordination… all while competing for cash!
