Asian Pacific Competition: 1

The online casino industry has wanted to penetrate the Asian countries for a long time. In the last month there has been an increase in interest of online casinos and internet gambling sites to enter the Asia Pacific region. That includes Australia, and some of the online casino software providers have aptly named the games which they are trying to market in each of those regions. Some of the titles are, Cool Bananas, Shaaark, Goanna Gold and Kangaroo Zoo. One of the most popular online casinos on the internet, Party Gaming recently saw an increase in interest and players to their online casino due to an unlikely source. Apparently Tom Cruise and his wife Katie Holmes spent some time in Melbourne in Australia and were staying at James Packer’s Crown Towers during that time.

Aspinalls is one of the online casinos that is currently trying to make a name for themselves by establishing their two internet gambling sites, Aspinalls Online Casino and Aspinalls Online Poker. The reason why people are so intrigued with the Aspinall online casino is due to their history. The founder of this online casino, John Aspinall was said to have been friends with the Packer family. In the last couple of years those two families have been reported to have transacted several business deals together. These two families have an appeal to the Australian public, they are sort of like local royalty. So any type of deal that they go into is usually linked to popularity because of their status. This online casino seems like it will be popular no matter what, because of the brands that it is associated with.
