Spain Moving Forward in Online Casino Laws

November 18th, 2011

The european country of Spain is finally catching up on what’s good for their country’s economy and how to turn things around to keep all types of citizens happy. Included among these citizens are those that like to play online penny slots and table games like blackjack and poker in the comfort of their homes or from their laptop computers. One of Spain’s most well-known and respected land-based casinos, Casino Grand Madrid located in the Spanish capital, has recently taken a step further to please their players in more ways. The Casino Grand Madrid has recently launched the first online casino in the country regulated and licensed under the newly enacted Spanish gambling laws.

According to the Casino Gran Madrid their online establishment is offering a fantastic variety of the favorite slots games including video slots, 3 reel slots, 5 reel slots and the common table games like craps, roulette and more. These online casino games are now in a strictly regulated and licensed market and according to a recent press release by the casino this new online gambling option offers an “extremely fair and safe online gaming experience” for all players. Previous to launching this online option, an evaluating agency looked closely into the online casino’s technical and software specifications, operations and procedures with dealing with problem gamblers and other problems that may arise.

However, those players who are looking to spend their online time at the tables playing poker will have to wait since the launch of the Gran Madrid Online Poker room needs a special license that will be issued by the Spanish gaming regulatory body next year. When the casino acquires the poker license, the new online gaming establishment will without a doubt become the first full service internet casino offering online games in Spain. However, in order for this casino to receive the necessary poker license the casino will have to go through an additional evaluation process.
