Online Casinos Enriching Lives

Most in the online casino industry definitely consider internet gambling a form of entertainment – but to go beyond that into educational is a stretch. But that is no longer the case now that 888.com has begun to offer a new video history lesson for players. Online casinos across the board are moving toward social responsibility, but this seems to take that concept just a little further by combining entertainment and education in an industry where incorporating fun history lessons might seem a little obscure.

Bodog was one of the first online casinos to move toward providing what some refer to as edutainment – or more specifically educational entertainment. Now though, 888.com has released the 888 Flash Back. These Flash movies will provide online casino players with tid-bits of trivia from historical events. The Flash movies are designed with entertainment in mind – so gone are the days of dry history lessons with a monotone voice droning on about historical wars, elections, and more.

The online casino industry is changing and convergence is one of the newest trends in the industry. Internet gambling is popular across the world and millions of players go to these Web sites each and every day, so why not provide an added benefit of educational entertainment. Matt Robinson is the Director of Marketing at 888, and he elaborates on the new 888 Flash Back. He says, "We are constantly seeking ways to provide new means of entertainment, to contribute to the online community and, of course, to benefit our users. We are very happy to combine together fun and value; we believe that there are many ways people can enrich their lives through educational entertainment."

And the great thing about the 888 Flash Back is that the online casino designed the Flash videos with the current internet climate in mind. Now rather than just watching the Flash movies on the 888 Web site, internet users can link to the movies on personal Web sites, and even add them to their MySpace pages.
