New drink driving limits passed by the Dáil could inadvertently help the Irish online casino business. In this Irish casino news section we can report that new legislation has been passed that reduces the permissible amount of alcohol in 100ml of blood from 80mg to 50mg and for professional drivers or learner drivers to 20mg. This is good news for online casinos but not so good news for pub and bar owners especially those in more remote locations where driving is often the only way to get there. As far as online casinos are concerned this news is yet more reason to stay at home and have some fun and at the same time not worry about how much you are drinking. We of course do not advocate excessive drinking at all and especially not when playing at an online casino but the new limits mean only one small drink is permissible before driving. The Irish casino industry is no different from the rest of the world in supplying free drinks to those who gamble at sufficiently high stakes but with this latest news Irish casinos punters will need to be careful and with the land based casinos having no more to offer than online casinos, the stay at home option could be better. Even those who prefer live dealers can choose that option at most online casinos these days so what is the attraction of going out?
