现在的赌博趋势表明，人们正在同时进行现实的赌博和在线赌博业务，并且，网上赌博越来越流行。在线赌博是否影响到陆地赌场和相关机构，这已经是一个非常重要的事情。1995年，首个网上赌场开始运营，并且在博彩业出现了旋风效应。

　　自从网上赌场在1995年开始运营，网上赌场就开始形成了有一个旋风效应。就因为它的出现，网上赌场经过了严格的审查，通过了政府的相关法规。网上赌场并不是在所有的国家都备受欢迎，就像美国，他们更青睐陆地赌场。按照美国的法律，进行无牌照的赌博相关业务或拥有网上赌场都是非法的行为。正因为如此，那些目前没有国家网上博彩牌照的美国网上赌博公司，正被迫迁移到其他国家。

　　操作和建立一个网上赌场只需要150万，而建立一个陆地赌场，则高达300万。一个陆地赌场使用20,000名员工，而网上赌场只需要20人就可以运行和操作。更多的人选择网上赌场，这就使得在拉斯维加斯的住房市场收入下降。人们被迫出售自己的家园，失去了他们的工作，或选择抵押。

　　当在线赌场和在线赌博公司迁出，使得赌博费用还有就是牌照费用急剧下滑。由于收费的调整，政府的调控和监督，这些陆地赌场要花费更高的金额来建设。

　　毫无疑问，这些行动对陆地赌场产生了很大的影响，但是，网上赌场则拥有更方便和易于使用的优势。为能够与正在普及的网上赌场进行竞争，陆地赌场不得不改变他们的营销和经营策略。

　　Online Casinos affecting Land Based Casinos

　　Trend shows that people are making use of both the physical and online gambling business and online gambling is getting increasingly popular. Whether online gambling is affecting the land bases casinos and institutions, is the question that comes to the mind. The first online casino started operations in 1995 and has started a whirlwind effect ever since.

　　Ever since it started operations in 1995, the online casinos have had a whirlwind effect. It has witnessed intense scrutiny, gone through government panels and regulations, since its emergence. Online gambling casinos were not favored by most states in the US, they rather favored land based casino. Gambling related business or owning an online casino without a license is an illegal act, as per United States law. Online gambling companies are being forced to move to other nations as no states are currently giving online gaming licenses.

　　To operate and build an online casino business requires only 1.5 million whereas up to 300 million is required to build a land based casino. A land based casino uses 20,000 employees whereas online casino just requires 20 people to run and operate. This made more people to choose online casino resulting in a drop in housing market in Las Vegas. People were forced to sell their homes, lost their jobs or opted foreclosure.

　　When online casinos and online gambling companies moved out of the country resulted in a dramatic dip in their gambling and licensing fees. Because of fees, government regulation and oversight that these casinos conform to made land based casinos more expensive.

　　Without any doubts, these actions are having a large effect on land based casinos and however online casinos are much more convenient and easy to use. Land based casinos had to change their marketing and business strategies to be able to compete with the online gambling popularity.
