Puzzle games as fun activities that are good tools to help us all build cognitive skills and raise IQ. Puzzles are good for people of all ages. They help reinforce existing connectors between our brain cells and build new connectors. In addition to training and expanding cognitive skills, puzzle games help improve small motor skills and stimulate creativity. Puzzles have been shown to help people improve their short-term memory and increase IQs by as much as 4 points (University of Michigan, 2011).

Well, thank goodness that we in South Africa do not have these worries. We are free to enjoy our Thunderbolt online casino fun as much as we want with no laws looming over our heads or politicians making laws about something they know nothing about. But...our friends in Australia are not so lucky. Let's look at what's going on in AU - and encourage our Aussie friends to come to Thunderbolt. Read on....

By signing new concession agreements Macau’s government, and by extension, the mainland Chinese government, are signaling their confidence and support of Macau’s casino industry. Over the past few years, the Asian casino industry has been rocked by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Chinese clampdown on junket operators who ferried Chinese gamblers to and from Pacific casino destinations and questions about the Beijing rulers’ policies on online casino gambling in China - where they, unfortunately, cannot use their Thunderbolt casino coupons.

When then-Prime Minister Abe Shinto’s government succeeded in passing the IR Implementation Act in 2018, there was great excitement about the future opportunities that such a move would have for the country.

At the time, the Macau casinos were doing record-breaking business, Chinese junkets were bringing VIPs to a number of Asian and Pacific locations to gamble and the expectations that Integrated Resorts could help Japan’s economy expand were high.

Today we take a break from the pure fun of our Thunderbolt Casino coupons and look at a distant corner of the world and what's going on there in the gaming sector.

According to a report by investigators, China's anti-corruption campaign is affecting Macau’s VIP segment which has taken a big hit from the mainland’s attempts to limit the numbers of VIP gamers and the amount that they can gamble at the casinos. The report notes that the baccarat tables have seen the largest drop while other areas of the hub's gambling industry remains mostly unaffected.

Australian bills fanned out to show the different denominations

Well, here's a story that has nothing to do with our South African Thunderbolt online casino gaming (!!!), but we'd like to report on it because we feel it's significan for all of us to know what's going on in our "neighboring countries" vis-a-vis gaming.

For years, the Chinese government has been indicating that it plans to clamp down hard on the gaming industry which it sees as a possible threat to its authority over its citizens. Video gaming companies, online casino players (like our Thunderbolt casino coupons play), esports players, casual gamers are being forced to kowtow to the government’s demands in order to continue to have access to the huge Chinese gaming market.

The Asian gaming industry is being spearheaded by studios and esports teams in India, China, Korea and Japan but the industry is moving forward quickly in other countries as well. Malaysia is now becoming a gaming hub where the market growth is focused on competitive gaming - less so on individual gaming like Thunderbolt online casino.

The once-thriving tourist economy in Thailand came close to being devastated by the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020 Thailand’s GDP fell by 6.1%, largely due to the financial crisis created by the almost complete demise of the tourism sector which accounts for 20% of employment and a fifth of GDP in Thailand. Now, Thai officials are considering legalizing retail and gambling in the country as they look ahead to the new possibilities for international travel.

Pre-COVID, most African gamers played video games and Thunderbolt online casino games on PCs at cyber cafes or in gaming centers. Just a few short years onward, the majority of gamers in Africa are playing on their smartphones. There are more areas of the content that now have Internet access, more devices are available and a larger percentage of the population has become mobile-savvy.

Despite legal uncertainties, India’s gaming industry is booming. More and more states are legalizing fantasy sports and online casinos like Thunderbolt casino coupons gaming is acknowledged by the authorities in a number of jurisdictions.

The UK government is showing itself unwilling to take on the proliferation of loot boxes within the video game industry. Activists are keeping the pressure on but it’s unlikely that there will be any change until after the next election.

Loot boxes, unlike gaming at the Thunderbolt online casino and other online casino sites, aren’t betting as such. But critics claim that loot boxes cause people to lose money because they buy the box hoping that there’s something valuable inside that will help them move forward with their game quests – however, the boxes don’t always yield what they want and need which causes them to lay out MORE money for more loot box purchases.

Online casinos draw and retain players by trying to provide the easiest, most interactive and user-friendly casino experience possible. That means that they make every effort to feature top games, rewarding bonuses and convenient payment methods.

eBanking with Thunderbolt casino coupons and other Internet-based casinos has evolved significantly in the 30 years of online casino entertainment.

Top online casinos try interface with as many different types of online banking options as possible – credit and debit cards, wire transfer services, ewallet and evoucher institutions and others.

Online casinos that don’t adapt to new trends don’t stay in business for long. That is especially true in regards to the new cryptocurrency payment options which have become increasingly popular over the last 10 years. Even though crypto is relatively new, it’s dominating many parts of the world’s economy and is being used by numerous industries as their primary method of facilitating financial transactions.

Will crypto become dominant in the world of online casino gaming? Some analysts believe that it’s only a matter of time.

Gaming industry analysts say that igaming companies should consider targeting South America for new businesses. While the South African online gaming business is already huge with our very own, Thunderbolt online casino, South America has the most promising new emerging market for online gaming in the world with mobile gaming being particularly popular. Latin American players are particularly fond of gaming machines such as slots and bingo which makes South America an tempting investment opportunity for gaming operators. The companies, however, are faced with a myriad of differing regulations that complicate their entrance into the South American market.

The South Asian/Pacific region’s gaming market is one of the fastest growing gaming markets in the world and may soon hold the gaming industry’s largest market share. When compared to other expanding markets, India’s growth rates is one of the largest in the world with the esports sector accounting for a large percentage of that market. So let's put our Thunderbolt casino coupons aside for a few minutes and explore this interesting new area.

The gambling industry is shifting online. Despite new casinos being built around the world, most gamblers are either playing online either full-time or part-time in between trips to land-based casinos.

Macau authorities have extended licenses of Macau casinos for another six months to provide stability as the territory readies new gambling laws. There are six casino resorts on Macau and their licenses were set to expire on June 26th. The government has notified the operators that they can apply for extensions of their licenses until the end of December to allow them to continue their activities as the government prepares its new regulations for land-based and online operations like Thunderbolt casino coupons.

Australia has thriving online casino and land-based casino industries but its largest operator has been on shaky ground for the last two years as the Australian government investigates irregularities in casino operations. After much speculation, an independent government inquiry has determined that the Crown casino will be able to keep its license while it cleans house.

Four years ago, following the vote of the Japanese parliament to allow casino operators to build casino-resorts in Japan, fierce competition started among operators and Japanese cities, all of whom were vying for a place at the multi-billion dollar IR table. Today, most of the major players have decided that they aren’t interested in building while a large proportion of Japanese citizens – and their municipalities -- are largely unreceptive to the idea of granting Thunderbolt casino coupons and hosting other casino venues in their regions.

NBC is, once again, preparing to serve as the largest media organization covering the Olympics, a position that it has held for the Summer Olympics since 1988 and for the Winter Olympics since 2002.

While the last year has not really affected our online casino South Africa, Thunderbolt, it has had an extreme effect on land casino operators.
