Over the last few weeks there has been very little interesting online casino news to report, apart from a strong set of trading results from the merged Paddy Power and Betfair, with both parties showing strong revenue growth over the year. It is early days yet but Breon Corcoran the new chief executive of the enlarged group was extremely upbeat on the progress already made towards total integration of the two companies. Most analysts seem to think that of all the recent mergers within the gambling sector this is the one likely to show the best outcome, we shall wait and see. Looking away from what our big online casino operating companies are doing however there have been several developments in the online casino sector which we here at onlinecasino.ie believe herald a whole new era for online casino games players. A quick look at our list of recommended online casinos provides the clue to what we are talking about. Over recent months we have seen a number of new online casinos come on stream, all of them independent of the major bookmakers and all of them specialising solely in the provision of a range of casino games. One of the first of these new specialist online casinos was of course the All Irish casino which was introduced over a year ago now, but we were then introduced to the No Bonus casino and the Free Spins casino, followed very recently by Casinocasino and Casinoland. What makes the launch of these new online casinos so welcome is that they are all clearly dedicated to providing their customers with the best casino games that are available. Casinocasino and Casinoland for instance use a number of different software suppliers to supply the casino games on their site, including one or two smaller companies whose casino games we have not seen before. It could be that the launch of small online casinos like these will become the best and most important casino news we have ever reported for casino games fans.
