Word of Mouth
The other way that top online casinos are able to attract gamblers is by word of mouth. They know that if they do a good job at creating an image of a top casino, actually not just an image but the real thing – top class games, professional service etc.
Gambling is a very social activity and we all like to talk whilst we are playing (not ask hundreds of questions… ok… whoops I cant believe that I have just written this, after my blog post ranting about some poor guy that asked too many questions on how to play blackjack… )
But we all like to exchange stories about how much we won (forget the losses)… where to play online casino games … where the top online casinos are… casino game strategies etc. For a really good online gambling guide you can go to one place and find all this information, or… go down to your local casino and start socialising with other gamblers… and pick up on where the best places are by word of mouth.

Learn the blackjack rules dude!
Ok I know that some people think I’m being a bit unreasonable… I also got some comments about the ‘Bailouts’ blog post. But come on… its common sense surely??? Sure we all want to be nice guys and do the right thing, but there also comes a time when it becomes ridiculous.
I was sitting in the casino the other day and this guy comes in and sits down at the blackjack table to play blackjack… as one does… (no this is not a joke, even though it sounds like the beginning of one… “a man is sitting at a bar and in walks a horse”…. you know the story….)
Now he clearly knew very little about blackjack and specifically the blackjack game rules, ok so we were all beginners at some time and had to learn… I know. I actually welcome new players it is good, it is healthy for gambling.
But this guy kept stopping the dealer and asking questions, come on learn the blackjack rules dude! Its ok to ask a question once or twice, but this guy just didn’t seem to get the game… how hard can it be? You need your cards to add up to 21, even kids can play blackjack! Maybe not in the casino with real money, but they can still play the game, its not that hard.
Thankfully the dealer eventually told the guy to either play and keep quiet or to leave…
Maybe its time I took a break, I’m blowing off at everything!!!

Online Casino Image
So yesterday I was on about how movies have helped promote the image of casinos. And I was thinking of real life casinos at the time, but of course nowadays, we probably have more online casinos available and so what about the online casino image?
Web casinos have also created their sophisticated, classy image to attract customers. There are so many different casinos online and the competition is so great, that they have to do everything they can to be better than their competitors and to attract gamblers.
The graphics have had to be of a high quality and the functionality of the online casino games has had to be as realistic as possible. If you played the games a few years ago they were not as nearly as good as what they are now, nor what the games of the future will be either.
If customers dont like a a site they just go elsewhere with a click of a mouse…. attracting and then keeping your online casino gambler is a lot harder online. So they have to ensure that their image is good and that they look like a top quality site.
Integrity and proffesionalism is also very important online, players must trust a casino online otherwise they wont deposit their money and play on the site.

Movies Promoting Casinos
Movies like some of the Bond movies, Oceans 11, 12…. etc have really helped the marketing of the casino industry.
You take the shear class of the European casino that is portrayed in ‘Casino Royale’ and instead of the sleazy image of a gambling pit full of desperate people, dropping their last hard earned coins into slot machines… hoping for their one big win…
Instead now you now have an image of a high class establishment a casino that oozes wealth and sophistication… that it is cool to gamble and accepted by society.
All image of course. But this what places like Las Vegas try and replicate, copying the high class image of the best casinos around the world, keeping you indoors in a false environment all day long and entertaining you – so that you will feel that you are in a classy european casino, where only the high society go… all designed to entertain you and ensure you have the best experience possible.
Its all about marketing and image! and movies have played a huge part to create this image.
