In the same vein as France though, Italy has taken to the idea of allowing licensed foreign online casinos access to the industry. The Italian government has staged a gradual introduction of the new gambling sectors into the market. Internet betting is alive and flourishing in Italy and there are several licensed betting operators benefiting from access to the Italian internet betting market. Internet poker has just been introduced legally and fully into Italy this year and several major international gambling brands were granted a license to market to and accept Italian online poker gamblers.

The online casinos are the only sectors of the industry that are still excluded from the Italian market right now. There is no timeline for when the government will plan to introduce this form of internet gambling but several of the major brands that are currently in the Italian market are hoping for more broad access to the full range of interested Italian gamblers.

Although some online casino gambling supporters are prone to dismissing some of these research studies as biased, there is simply too much information coalescing to the same conclusion to ignore that the global youth are facing more possibly harmful exposure to gambling through the internet than any previous generation. Research already indicates that many individuals all over the world may experience variations on internet addictions even without the lure of the internet gambling sites.

Basically, the research is far from conclusive – there is no clear indication that the college students of the world are facing rampant online casino gambling addiction, but there is also no data that disproves this assumption either. Researchers are still actively investigating this issue and it is certainly worth keeping in mind at the parental and college administration level.

Pay Dirt at Super Slots casino – there’s an aptronym if ever we saw one. Pay Dirt certainly proved to be paydirt for Marjorie: it was the first time the jackpot has been hit at that game, hence the huge payout, but already it has been reset to $36,000; waiting for another chancer to take it down.

Super Slots Casino is one of the few, and more popular, online casinos that accepts players from the US – Marjorie will be taking her $435,000 to her home in Arizona. Currently their most popular attraction is a series of slots tournaments running nearly constantly. With that amount of money to be won, you can certainly see the appeal.

Casino Plex, home of many popular slot games including Marvel legends The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man, have announced two huge jackpots currently waiting to shower some lucky players – the Wild West-themed slot Gold Rally is almost at $1m, and 5-reel, 20-payline monster Beach Life is almost 50% over that.

“These two games are tremendously popular at Casino Plex but when their jackpots get as high as they are right now a lot more players try their luck hoping to become instant millionaires,” said Harry Christodoulou from Casino Plex.

A great roster of some of poker’s best players, including Doyle Brunson , Hoyt Corkins, Mike Caro, Phil Laak, Todd Brunson, Kenna James, Chris Moorman and Alec Torelli are going to be sitting at $5/$10 and $10/$20 tables –a far cry from their usual six-figure stakes.

‘It’s cool for me to go down in limits like this even though I don’t even remember the last time I played 10/20NL,” says Ilari Sahamies, who has career earnings of over $5m. “[It] will be fun to play with Doyle, and hopefully some mid stakes players will see this is a good opportunity to get some nice action. See you at the tables on Power Poker.’
