You may have noticed online casino extensions popping up at some of your favourite online poker rooms. This is not likely to stop anytime soon because not only do the online casinos provide players with a lot more options if they get tired of playing poker for a bit and just want to try some straight up gambles, but these online casino extensions often make a good deal of money for the poker room. Online casinos, in general, make more money per player than online poker rooms and this money can come pouring in very fast. As long as the poker rooms have the cash flow to cover big losses you can expect to see casinos at almost all online poker rooms very soon. Here are a couple examples of poker rooms that recently opened casinos and some are already competing with the best online casinos out there.
PKR Casino
PKR launched PKR Casino over a year ago and they’ve stayed true to their competitive advantage within the marketplace by offering unique 3D games with some of the best software and graphics in the industry. PKR has all the games you could want at an online casino and even some of the more rare varieties including Red Dog Poker and Casino War. At the PKR Casino you use your PKR.com account so there is no need to transfer funds and you can get the casino experience without having to trust another online company with your information and deposited funds. Expect the PKR Casino to gain a further following in the next few years because they truly do offer a great product.
Titan Casino
Titan Casino (titancasino.com) is another new and flashy online casino that is the child of a successful and respected online poker room. Titan recently launched TitanBets.com as well so it looks like they are expanding to all the areas of online gambling. I can’t say I blame them because there is money to be made and it provides their players with everything they could want all in one easy location. Actually, PKR has launched a betting service as well, so when a company decides to extend to casinos the sports betting is often not far behind. Titan Casino is great for all players (except for Americans) check it out if you have the chance.
Online Casino extensions of poker rooms will soon be the norm. Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars have yet to include these with their sites, but have instead continued to focus on being the two largest poker rooms online. It will be interesting to see if they add casino or sports betting to their businesses in the future.
