No-one could have predicted ten years ago that online casino poker would be the billion dollar industry that it is today. Fans of online casino poker have also been responsible for encouraging a range of other poker related products, including televised poker tournaments and increased publicity surrounding the World Series of Poker and similar competitions. However, all good things must come to an end, and gaming operators are already searching for the new product to replace online casino poker when the poker bubble inevitably bursts.
Enter dominoes and its transition to the online casino. The live game is already drawing thousands of viewers to ESPN’s Spanish television network where televised domino matches are a regular feature. The game is expected to feature on English language channels soon, with the World Domino Championships to be aired from the Dominican Republic in 2007. The game is also attracting online casino fans to the few sites where online versions are available, prompting several major online casino groups to develop their own dominos offering.
The increasing numbers of Latino online casino fans are also expected to help boost the presence of online dominos. In Latin America, dominos is a popular pastime and is often played in bars. On street corners the game has become a popular spectator sport, generating competitive wagers. Online casino operators will be hoping that the Latino love of dominos helps to boost the popularity of this skilled game. And who knows? Maybe dominos may even become the new poker.
