Online Casino’s shutting down
These days, due to the poor markets, online gambling sites are shutting down. Here is an example of one such site and how it is going about accomplishing the task.
Lasseters Online Casino posted a message on its website that states the decision by its parent company’s board of directors to shut down the site. The site has been in operation since 1999. The site is involved in handling withdrawals as of now. All the members with funds have been requested to submit their withdrawal requests by the 24th of October, 2008.
The statement on the website says that the members have reached this decision because the viability of the casino to sustain profits currently and in the future seems to be unlikely. The casino has been in loss for the last 2 years and according to research and analysis it seems that it will stay in loss. The parent company has no choice but to withdraw its support.
The site officially shut shop on the 10th of October. Access to information about personal accounts is still available. This is to give people a chance to withdraw whatever money they have in their accounts before the company withdraws its web presence.
The management of the casino has expressed deep felt sorrow for their current decision to shut down. They have posted a message for the customers thanking them for their support and loyalty over the period of 9 years that the casino operated. Lassetters is one of the oldest online casinos and runs on the Orbis OpenBet platform.
The site offered games like Baccarat, Blackjack, Pontoon 21, Three Card Poker, Red Dog, Keno, Roulette, and Snapjax along with a wide variety of slot machine games.
I’ve just been looking at the above mentioned site, and it looks really good what a shame it shut down
I think as more gambling sites come online the smaller ones will go pop. Keeping up with current games and trends such as deal or no deal is keeping current sites going.
