With the new year now fresh upon us, it feels like anything can happen. All the possibilities have been opened to us. That feels especially true for everyone who is involved in the online casino industry. With the Bush Administration about to vacate the premises, things could change in drastic and extremely positive ways once President-elect Barack Obama steps into the White House with Michelle and their two daughters. This will be the year when the fate of online gambling will be determined once and for all. How will the government choose to regulate the industry? No one knows yet what will happen but many people are very hopeful since there are still a great many online casinos that are operating in the United States online gambling market.

This hope is also good news for any players who reside within the United States because it means that some of their favorite casino sites such as Rushmore and Lucky18Casino will still be accepting players in America. But unfortunately, along with that good news comes some bad news too. With the new year now upon us, it seems that the awarding of big jackpots at these casinos has slowed down dramatically since the beginning of 2009, especially for American players.

Out of the past 29 jackpots that have been hit by players at online casinos, not a single one of them happened at a casino that still accepts players who live in the United States. But this is not all bad news since those casinos that have not had their jackpots hit are still growing bigger with even more money waiting to be won.
