Online gambling is a hot topic, as it became one of the fastest-growing industries in the world. One of the main reasons for the success in the niche is the pandemic that prompted millions of people to find new activities due to simple boredom or desperation during the lockdown. And even those who already gambled at land-based casinos were forced to find an alternative since most facilities closed. Either way, that served as a massive spike in revenue for operators who know the art of attractive advertisement. 

The gambling industry never sleeps - new technologies continuously surface at an impressive speed, and it's always worth checking out. Hundreds of gaming industry vendors came together for an unforgettable event at the Indian Gaming Tradeshow and Convention in Las Vegas this July to share the new gambling technologies, some of which are already available across casino floors. 

In 2009 Bitcoin started an unstoppable movement, entirely from scratch. Shortly after, Bitcoin’s potential breathed inspiration into crypto believers. Alternatives such as Ethereum and Litecoin eventually surfaced, and by 2021, at least 4,000 different digital coins were made available for trading. Now more than 50 million individuals across the globe have invested in at least one of the intangible coins, creating a market that is confidently taking over the world. Unfortunately, digital currency opportunities also came with a dark side - a powerful addiction.

Hundreds of Indian IT professionals and other qualified foreign workers missed their chance at the first H-1B Visa lottery since the draw was conducted early this year. Having a second draw is almost unheard of in this regard, but the computerized selection shortage tweaked circumstances in favor of discouraged contestants. The re-try is exciting news for both companies and the desired applicants. Intelligent minds are always needed here, and it’s America that will be the real winner when it welcomes hundreds of qualified individuals abroad. This time around, the rules will be slightly different.

While there’s no way to predict a lucky combination on slot machines in casinos, there is a process by which gamblers can determine which operators provide the highest opportunities. Nevada Gaming Control Board released reports this late June displaying slot hold percentages in individual state’s jurisdictions. The new data shows numbers from 2004, all the way up to 2021. The annual slot hold percentages are a useful tool in terms of strategizing and choosing to gamble at a jurisdiction that has the best winning chances.
