Here Come the Awards
This is not only the start of a New Year this month, but also the end of a
decade. Or should I say THE decade for the online casinos. The first internet
gambling sites launched onto the scene in the very late 90s and thus the first
decade to really see the expansion of the online casino gambling industry was
this first decade of the new millennium. CasinoMeister is not a site to let this
occasion pass without a bit of reflection, and that is just precisely what the
gambling portal performed over the past month. Thanks to CasinoMeister, the
industry now has a humorous and yet very accurate look at the highs and lows of
the past year – and the past decade.
The lows are always fun because in many cases they highlight some of the key
challenges that the online casino gambling industry has faced to continue
surviving and offering up services to the gambling public. For 2009, a low in
the industry was the Golden Lounge.com debacles that heated up the forums as
players continually complained that this Malta licensed online casino gambling
site was not living up to its promises and actually proved to be a royal pain
for the industry when it came time for payouts.
For all of those troubles, the Golden Lounge online casino gambling site took
home a less-than-prestigious award for Worst Casino of the Year. Not to be
outdone though, there were also sites assigned as having the Worst Player
Experience of the Year and other not so fantastic honors bestowed up these
questionable sites. |
