The future of the online gambling industry is still very much up in the air as far as how the regulations struggle will play out. If the regulations are passed within the United States as has been expected, there would be no stopping the online gambling industry. It has the potential to become one of the biggest operations in the country. But there is still a bit of a wait to see if that will happen. As the year of 2008 comes to a close, a study involving some 2,000 gamblers was conducted and the results are fascinating.

The gamblers admitted to playing both online casino slots and frequenting land-based casino slot operations. The gamers in the study answered a wide assortment of questions that went to great lengths to compare the two distinct types of gambling. The results were interesting. For the 2,000 people who participated in the survey, more than 70% of them indicated that they actually prefer to play online slot games as opposed to playing slots at their local land-based casinos.

The reasons that they based their preferences on were quite varied. What people loved most of all about playing slot machines online is the luxury of being able to play from the comfort of their own home. All of the additional costs associated with playing at a land-based casino such as tips for the dealer, drinks, food and gas money played a factor in making online slots seem more appealing.

The participants in the stuffy were players who had to have visited a land-based casino at least two separate times within the past month and they had to have played online slots more than five times also.
