Social Networks Support Online Casino Gambling
There is no doubting the fact that social networking sites are both hugely
successful and a sector of the internet gambling community largely untapped by
the online casino gambling industry. MySpace is perhaps the most notable of the
social networking sites, but Facebook has grown in popularity over the past year
because it now allows third party applications. The latest of these third party
apps now marries the online casinos industry with the world of social networking
so that players can experience Texas Hold’em right from their Facebook profiles.
The HeyCosmo is a Facebook application that recently launched from Arsenal
Interactive, a web-cam and video based service for the social networking
industry. The company offers free web-cam services that foster live, real-time
interactive social networking – and with the online casino poker software,
players have internet gambling options that were never previously available.
And as for the online casino poker application, players can access the
application directly from their profiles and the nature of the applications
allows players to join existing Texas Hold’em games or create a new table.
Players are also able to communicate via chat options and full streaming video.
The online casinos gambling industry is constantly changing to meet player needs
– and the shift into social networking is just the latest indication that
internet gambling companies are increasingly bringing gambling content right to
the internet gamblers.
The CEO and President at Arsenal, James H. Im, comments on the transition of
online casinos into social networking sites. "With an increasing number of
online gaming enthusiasts, it was just a natural transition for us to create a
poker application specifically catered for interactive networks. It's an easy
way for friends to connect, entertain and communicate with each other at the
same time." |
