Spin Palace Casino Interview

We interview Debbie Taylor, casino manager at Spin Palace Casino - one of the leading Microgaming UK online casinos.

CasinoTimes: Hi, Debbie. What is your background in online gambling?

Debbie: I have been the casino manager of Spin Palace for the past three years.

CasinoTimes: What is the brief history of Spin Palace?

Debbie: Spin Palace was launched in early 2002 as the flagship casino of the Palace Group and is powered by Microgaming who are the biggest software developer for the online gambling industry. Since then it has grown extremely quickly and is now one of the most successful online casinos today.

CasinoTimes: What do you see as the biggest innovation likely to affect the way people gamble online in the next year and beyond?

Debbie: Rather than any specific technical innovation, I think the most important innovation is that the perception of online gambling has evolved very quickly over the past few years. A few years ago the majority of people did not trust online casinos with keeping the bank details secure and were generally worried about the security aspect of setting up an account. Spin Palace has worked particularly hard to dispel these fears and has earned the Ecogra seal in recognition of this.

CasinoTimes: Which new group is likely to discover and adopt online gambling in the near future?

Debbie: Women! There are already a significant number of female players but this figure will continue to rise over the next few years.

CasinoTimes: What is the biggest barrier to people gambling online? And how can the online gambling community overcome it?

Debbie: Security and social stigmatism remain the biggest barriers to gambling in general whether online or offline, but as I have mentioned the security 'barrier' is being gradually overcome. Likewise, the social stigmatism of gambling are being eroded in many parts of the world, especially Europe, but also in the US who traditionally hold a more conservative attitude towards it.

CasinoTimes: What type of gambling can you do online that you can't do at a land-based casino?

Debbie: There is a much wider variety of casino games and all are available instantly and in the comfort of your own home!

CasinoTimes: Is the increasing penetration of broadband bringing new gamblers online?

Debbie: Definitely. As with all online sites that contain a sizeable amount of content the speed of internet connection is very important.

CasinoTimes: How can the online gambling community increase the number of online gamblers in the future?

Debbie: Keep doing what it has been doing already! The industry has proved immensely successful thus far and I anticipate this will continue. I think the level of exposure through various advertising mediums will increase dramatically in the next few years that will truly bring the industry into mainstream culture around whose edges it is teetering at the moment.

CasinoTimes: What is Spin Palace's unique selling point?

Debbie: A very strong brand that successfully manages to bring the excitement of Las Vegas-style gambling to the privacy of the player's home whilst maintaining a strong emphasis on customer support.

Thanks, Debbie.
