“A Real Live Casino in Your Living Room? Online Gambling Goes Virtual!”
For those “traditionalist” gamblers
who have been reluctant to engage in online gambling because
of its antisocial nature, Reality InterActive Media Inc
(RIAM) will soon be offering just what the doctor ordered
. . .
There’s no doubt that the online gambling industry
has been extremely successful and popular with gamblers around
the world. Nevertheless, there are still those who won’t
gamble over the Internet, primarily because one of the things
they enjoy most about the gambling experience is the personal
interaction they can only get in the land-based casinos.
Tapping into this need, one company – Reality InterActive
Media Inc (RIAM) – plans to do something about it.
They will soon introduce a program which enables online gamblers
to talk with other players, and also to see them, via a web
cam. Online gambling sites that use the RIAM program will
basically allow their patrons to be part of a real community – a
place where they can gamble with friends whom they can also
see and talk to.
RIAM feels so much confidence in
its product that it is currently offering to pay those
online casinos willing to give it a try. They are betting
on their ability to attract even the most stubborn and
old-fashioned casino-type gamblers, who might just be happy
not to have to leave their houses and still engage in a
social evening. Who knows? At this rate, it won’t
be long before people will only need to go out for one
thing: fresh air!
