Macau casino mogul Lui Che Woo more than doubled his wealth last year, making him the biggest gainer on Bloomberg's list of richest billionaire - and proving just how big the gambling industry has become. Gambling gains Galaxy Entertainment founder and chairman Lui came in 82nd overall on the Bloomberg Billionaires list, expanding his worth by 102 percent to $11.8 billion, on the back of a number of smart investments that saw his stock rise nearly 110% and his reputation rise simultaneously. But Lui isn't resting on his laurels either. He recently announced a plan to invest at least $6.5 billion in his Macau resorts in 2013, in order to expand them and make them more attractive to tourists from Mainland China - who have been flocking to the Vegas of Asia for years now. Targeting the average gambler Where Galaxy Entertainment differs from the traditional Macau casino is that instead of targeting the high-stakes player, it is aiming for the growing Chinese middle class. Liu himself is a mahjong player, and knows just how popular all forms of gambling are in Chinese culture. With tens of millions joining the burgeoning Chinese middle class every month, this is one gamble that is sure to pay off. Who knows? Maybe once Macau is saturated with Chinese gambling enthusiasts, the next step for the region will be an explosion in online gambling?

Online casino and betting providers are constantly expanding the range of payment methods available to their customers, including specialized local options - as the latest few additions show. New payment methods New online casino payment methods are being added on a weekly basis. In particular, major operators are increasingly offering local options, catering to the growing number of customers who would prefer to make deposits and withdrawals in their own language and own currency. Just in these last few weeks, we have seen the additions of: CaixaWallet, a special method for Spanish online gamblers that allows them to deposit money using any credit card or bank account with having to enter private information; Sporopay, for Slovenian customers; and eCard, for the Polish crowd. Big focus on security As casinos expand their range of ways to make deposits, there is an increased focus on security and privacy. Any old credit card, bank or e-wallet can offer their services for deposits and withdrawals, so the key for online gamblers is to check which does the most to protect your personal details. This is why payment options like Ukash and Skrill have emerged as such strong players in the past few years. Ukash, for example, offers a an alternative to traditional online banking through its offer of a simple, cash-like deposit method that excuses users from ever having to submit personal or banking information to their gambling provider.
Social games are riding a wave of popularity with the release of scores of apps for smartphones of all shapes and sizes. Among the leading smartphones are Google Android phones and iPhones with multiple makes and models compatible with the new mobile gaming buzz. The apps for a wide range of casino gaming titles - bingo, blackjack, roulette, slots and others - can be downloaded direct from the online gaming sites, or players can be redirected to specific places where they can quickly get the Apps and start playing. An Explosion of Interest in Social Casino Apps In recent times, many of the world's biggest gaming operators (most recently 888) have turned to social gaming apps. This form of gaming has revolutionized the online gaming industry in a way that few industry pundits could anticipate. Essentially, players buy chips to enjoy their favorite casino-style games. No real money is won during these games, rather players win chips which can then be used to buy gifts, play more games or be sent to other players. A Win-Win Situation for Everyone It's a terrific way for the gaming companies to enjoy greater market penetration without having to worry about all sorts of regulatory measures. Players also benefit, by playing their favorite games, with topnotch gaming software in a highly interactive social gaming platform. Casino apps are leading the way to a renewed interest in online gaming in the USA and other markets where gaming was facing punitive measures. Big name companies enjoying the rising popularity of Smartphone gambling include Zynga, IGT (the leading slot machine maker), Caesars and others.
