It has taken since August last year but according to the general casino news the merger between BetFair and Paddy Power casino is finally complete as the shares started trading on the London Stock Exchange. Paddy Power has been an online casino operator for many years and is definitely in the top half dozen of online casinos available to Irish casino players whereas BetFair is a comparative newcomer which started life as a betting exchange rather than a bookmaker. The difference here being that a betting exchange facilitates punters betting against each other whereas a bookmaker takes the bets itself. Betfair has historically not been in the online casino market at all instead focussing on sports betting. In other casino news it is being reported that a porn site is introducing an online casino with players encouraged to use the live casino option where female dealers with little or no clothing are waiting to take your bets at the tables. Casinos.ie does not think that this will be as attractive to Irish casino players as maybe the company suggests. There are after all many Irish casino players at online casinos who are female and it is unlikely that they are going to be attracted by female croupiers who are willing to take their clothes off. There are also possibly many men who enjoy their online casino play without the distraction of sex and there are plenty of porn sites available for those that way inclined. Whether this combination works or not remains to be seen. Casinos.ie continues to search the casino news reports for interesting articles to bring to your attention as it has done for several years but in the meantime enjoy your favourite online casino games at any of the online casinos which are listed on the site.
