Over recent years Canadian authorities allowed online games from sites within Canada and offshore websites like www.fruityking.co.nz, where players can experience all the popular table games, pokies and live casino action in a safe and secure environment.
The global gambling industry is estimated to increase revenues to a staggering $500 billion this year, with Canada making it into the top ten because of the relaxed gambling laws.
The same cannot be said for other countries like the United States, which still are reticent about online gambling.
Today, Canada earns $31 billion yearly due to online gambling, which is expected to increase as technology advances.
Although online gambling has significantly increased in Canada, brick-and-mortar venues are experiencing a decline, mainly due to the convenience of being able to play whenever and wherever players happen to be.
