Online casino is a new entertaining industry and it has existed for more than 10 years. Everything started in 1994 when free trade market created such notion as “online casino”. For US citizens it was quite a surprise to discover that it had become possible to play their favourite games without leaving their apartments. Such companies as Microgaming and Cryptologic provided necessary software and started the first Intercasino accepting us, players, online. Later on they spread their products all over the world.

Only two years later playing for real money became possible. So the first real online game was created in 1996. And by October the situation changed making casino online very attractive for businessmen.

One of the most important things in creation of a new sphere of playing with fortune became emerging of progressive jackpots which were the first to be offered in online casino. For US players placing a bet is the most exciting part of gaming. There were the future creators of jackpots among them knowing this feeling too well. So a day came when they thought: how many people are there in the Internet placing bets at the moment? Aiming at attracting more visitors they created a system of jackpots which gave one player the possibility to win a huge amount of money that consisted of bets placed in different casinos of the same company. This step increased the number of players greatly. At that very moment American authorities started to create a project to taboo casino for USA players. It was possible to fulfil this intention only in the United States. But foreign web-sites continued to accept US players

In 1999 a multiplayer system was born and one virtual table received the ability to get as many players as the game would accept. USA players started to communicate in charts and feel the presence of other players.

In 2001 the system of progressive jackpots reached new level. The biggest progressive jackpot was 500000 dollars at that time, though today it’s 10 or even 20 times bigger.

In 2004 the Government of the USA started to have problems with WTO as the question of accepting USA players as other visitors of winner casino bonus was put up. People wondered why casinos could not “accept us, players with a great will to gamble, when land-based casinos and race tracks could”.

In 2010 the situation worsened but still there is a number of web-sites such as www.jackpotcapital.com which continue Accepting us players.
