Well it hardly seems possible given their currently level of popularity but internet casinos have actually only been around for fourteen years or so, they were launched practically at the same time as computers were becoming common household electronics. Although there is much speculation floating around on the internet as to which was the first online casino websites to hit the internet, no one can be certain of these facts. Popular rumor has it that "The Gaming Club Casino" was the first website to open up its online casinos to the public in 1995, with "InterCasino" flowing closely on their trail and opening up their online casino website to the public the following year. What we do know for a fact however is; in 1994 the Government of the small Caribbean island of Antigua/Barbuda passed "The Free Trade and Processing Zone Act" making it legal to issue licenses to prospective Companies wanting to operate an online casino website.
"The Gaming Club Casino" is said to have accepted its first bet in 1995. "The Gaming Club Casino" software is created by none other than "Microgaming" which is considered the ultimate in online casino gaming system companies, and they have received quite a number of awards over the years for their online casino gaming software. The Gaming Club Casino is a part of the Bell Rock Entertainment Group and operates under the very prestigious license which they were awarded by the Government of Gibraltar. Even today "The Gaming Club Casino" is still considered one of the best online casinos with over two hundred and eighty plus games and counting for you to choose from including of course those casino favorites of video poker, texas hold'em, tons of different themed slots machines and quite a few versions of the gambler's prerequisite game of blackjack. They boast of having one of the most secure methods for deposits and payouts and offer quite a few deposit methods for your convenience.
"Inter Casino" is said to have opened up for business in 1996, not long after "The Gaming Club Casino". "InterCasino" has been in the headlines many times over the past years for their achievement in the online casino industry. In 2004 InterCasino was awarded "Fastest Payouts for an Online Casino" and in 2005 they received an award for being "The Top Online Casino" internationally. They were also voted the "players' favorite online casino" four years in succession, by readers of Online Gambling Magazines via polls on the website. There have been quite a few online gamers who have become millionaires from playing at "InterCasino". One lucky player from Denmark won a whopping MEGA Jackpot of$198,292 just playing the slots. This lucky chap hit the jackpot with only $21.00 worth of play. Another lucky Danish player won the MEGA Jackpot of $182,915 playing the famous "Rags to Riches" slot machine. Today "InterCasino" is considered the ultimate choice in online casino gambling.
The popularity of online casinos promises only to increase, we look forward to reporting on a prosperous future and it all started with these two casino owners with a dream of international gaming.
