The first reference of betting is located in archaic scriptures where anyone can see the mention of games of Dice played by Kings and Lords around the earth. The wagering grew in selection and choice in due course of time and the most exciting and favored amongst them was the betting on Horses.

With the penetration and acceptance of the Internet, the online gambling created sometime in the year ‘96 with a couple of casino locations showing up, became one of the most favored web activity. Today the estimated annual revenue from these sites numbering hundreds of thousands is more than 7000 million dollars. That works out to around $19 million each day and speaks loudly about the popularity and turnover of internet wagering pages.

Wagering on the world wide web comes with advantages and risks. The advantages being larger, web wagering has surpassed the original betting around the globe. The earliest and foremost among them is the comfort and convenience and the selection the net offers for bettors. The online sites, which continue to build in numbers each and every second, offer a wide array of casino games such as the familiar one-armed bandit attracting the gamblers for the ever elusive Jackpot, the day-to-day man’s playing card games, craps, and roulette. Each provides unique excitements.
