Yet, 10% of them already play on poker sites, casino and sports paris unauthorized (such as Bwin , Unibet, BetClick …). “The French players, they did not wait for the opening of the market provided by the Government in early 2010 to take advantage of the existing offer on the Internet,” says Juliet Delfaud development director in charge of the study from Ipsos Media CT. Although aware of the liberalization that prepares the majority of Internet users (47%) did not know the contours. “She believes that all gambling will be permitted, including slot machines and roulette, which does not happen,” says Juliet Delfaud.
A male audience
Players on the Internet do to earn money and pleasure of winning, but also have fun and play comfortably at home. Who are they? Especially men: they represent 71% of the clientele of The French and the PMU games online and 59% of other sites.

Grand Casino Brussels will equip its chips to computer chips against fraudsters
RFID chips, such as those found in the latest credit cards or ID cards are one of the surest ways to protect data. They may be more or less sophisticated, and allow traceability of a product or … casino chip.
Some chips have a value of several hundred dollars, it is very tempting for fraudsters to try to copy and thus exchanged at the cashier without making the slightest effect.
In the Mecca of game that is Las Vegas or Macau, RFID chips have already appeared. They identify counterfeit chips, to recognize quickly the earnings of players and to be informed in real time where each table or each slot machine.
Microprocessors built into each table are able to identify up to 1,000 RFID chips per second. Thus, everything that takes place at the gaming table is no longer any secrets for controllers at both flow of chips for their authenticity.
The gains of each player are counted automatically and no further manual count is required. A huge time saver, but also increased security.
At the Grand Casino Brussels, temporarily installed Rue de la Madeleine before emigrating Boulevard Anspach in its permanent facilities being completed, we focused on this new technique of securing tokens.
“Once we’re settled on the Boulevard Anspach, next year, our chips will be equipped with electronic chips,” entrust officials.
“The applications of such a system are numerous. They allow full traceability of such tokens, with players at the tables to know in real time updates that are played, the bets have the players, gains and losses etc.. It is a very expensive system, which we do not necessarily need. Especially as slot machines, players do not need chips. They use maps that are already secure. We therefore limit ourselves to equip our chips chips to authenticate them when they exchange them into cash. “
