Virtual Gaming, Is It Gaining Traction In America And Canada? A Hot Discussion At Sports Betting And Casino Summit North America
Covid-19 has driven American gamblers online and as LAS VEGAS is slowly awakening from its pandemic-induced slumber, we are just at the beginning to see how these gamblers are choosing online over land-based.
Photos from the casinos that welcomed visitors for the first time in nearly three months showed gaming tables surrounded by guests, some wearing masks.
Their thirst for a gamble is understandable. In quarantine, American high-rollers have struggled to find substitutes for the real thing. Whereas, say, British gamblers have been able to bet legally online under lockdown, Americans face a patchwork of state laws that give limited options for lawful remote betting.
