Contribution of Technology to Success of Online Casino

Digital technology has infiltrated education, the business world, and the gambling industry. Who would ever have thought online casinos would become a reality?

You can access a casino online and play the same games available in their physical locations. Some factors have contributed to the success of gambling online.

  1. Rise of mobile

Smartphones and mobile devices have changed the way people do things. For instance, you no longer have to queue at the ATM to get money only to go and queue again to pay for your pizza. Today, you can easily order food and make payments through apps installed on your mobile devices. Isn’t that amazing?

Pizza delivery is not the only thing that mobile has facilitated. Mobile devices have so much to do with the gambling industry. Today, all you need to gamble is some money on you, internet connection and a casino app to enjoy gambling wherever you are and at any time. It has opened opportunities for the industry as new gamblers have been motivated by this convenience to join.

Developers have even created mobile versions of the online slots making it even more accessible to mobile users.

  1. Virtual reality (VR)

VR is one of the most exciting and addictive emerging technology today. It also has a significant role to play in the growth of online casinos. Companies are incorporating VR in their online slots attracting even more gamblers. VR has changed the experience of gambling which has, in turn, made it hard to abandon.

  1. Convenience

It is evident that the convenience that comes with online slots is what is making online casinos attractive. If you are a gambling enthusiast, you can imagine the joy of being able to be in a casino on the go. You can do it while in the comfort of your bed, during your lunch breaks, as you travel and so on. People are often burdened with working having no extra seconds left on them to do the things they love.

The online casino has ensured that the market gets a steady supply of this form of entertainment wherever they are. You no longer have to drive for hours to get to the traditional casino’s location to have a spin.

  1. Mobile payment apps

Do you know what else is motivating the casino industry? The mobile payment apps. I mean, for you to play and get rewards, money has to be wired. If not for tools like PayPal, this would not have been possible. It has a significant contribution to the success of the online casino. Money is required to keep it going.

Technology has made almost everything possible, the beauty of it is that it comes with convenience too. The casino industry has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of technological advancement. As time goes by, more development is expected. The future is bright for the industry!

Iran FM Zarif to Visit Lebanon Sunday

Mohammad Jalal Firouznia made the announcement on Thursday, saying the Iranian foreign minister is likely to attend a ceremony commemorating the 40th anniversary of the victory of the 1979 revolution.

Zarif would be the first foreign minister to visit Lebanon following the formation of Lebanon’s new government.

Lebanese political factions agreed on January 31 on the formation of a new government, breaking a nine-month deadlock.

The new government — headed by Prime Minister Saad Hariri — includes 30 ministers from most Lebanese political factions, which have been in talks after the country held in May 2018 its first parliamentary elections in nine years.

According to a statement by Lebanon’s presidency, Finance Minister Ali Hassan Khalil from Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri’s Amal party, and Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil, who leads President Michel Aoun’s Free Patriotic Movement, have retained their positions in the new cabinet.

Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement has chosen Jamil Jabak as the new health minister, despite the fact that he is not a member of the movement.

IRGC Unveils Underground Missile Factory, New Ballistic Missile

Speaking in the ceremony, IRGC Chief Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari said the unveiling meant to convey a message.

“Unveiling this missile production city deep in the earth is a response to rants and raves of westerners who believe they can limit us with sanctions and threats and stop us from [pursuing] big goals,” he said.

The IRGC chief stressed Iran’s missile power is non-negotiable.

“Iran’s defence power is deterrent and for protecting national security and it is not swappable or negotiable,” he said.

New Missile Put on Display

Speaking in the ceremony, the IRGC chief said all of Iran’s ballistic missiles are pinpoint accurate, and missile experts are now focusing on making missiles lighter, quicker to produce and easier for mass production.

The head of IRGC’s Aerospace Division Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh said in the ceremony that the new missile, called Dezful, is an improved version of the Zolfaghar missile that has a range of 700 kilometres.

The new missile has a 1,000-km range, and its explosive power has been doubled, he said.

“The explosive forces of this missile have been doubled [comparing to] Zolfaqar, due to the materials used in its warhead,” he said.

In recent months, the EU has stepped up criticism of Iran’s missile program, requesting talks on limiting it.

Iran has mainly ignored such requests.

US Animosity Towards Iran Outcome of Its Independence, Support for Palestine: Nasrallah

Addressing a ceremony commemorating the 40th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Beirut on Wednesday, Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah said the revolution was the starting point of a new era in the region.

The revolution toppled the US-backed regime of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the worst dictatorship in the region, if not the worst one in the world, he said.

The main reason behind US animosity towards Iran is the country’s independence and homegrown power, he said.

The second reason, Nasrallah said, is Iran’s position on regional developments, particularly its support for the Palestinian nation.

 

Revolution’s Achievements

Nasrallah said the Pahlavi regime had made Iran a client state, as thousands of American advisors were in charge of affairs in the country.

But the revolution managed to expel the US and its advisors from Iran, he said.

Nasrallah said the post-revolution Iran has become a major producer of science, being among top ten countries in the world.

Iran has made great progress in high-tech fields such as the nanotechnology and medical equipment, Nasrallah said.

In the defence sector, the pre-Revolution Iran was a major purchaser of expensive US equipment, he said.

However, after the revolution, over 90% of Iran’s military equipment are homegrown and the country exports over $5 billion worth of weaponry.

 

Regional Crises Part of US War

Nasrallah said the crises in the region are not part of an Israel-Iran war or a Saudi-Iran conflict.

The Hezbollah chief said Saudi Arabia is in no position to engage in a war with Iran by itself, and it’s merely a tool used by the US in its battle against Iranian.

Conflicts in the region are part of either Israel’s war against regional nations, started in 1948, or the US war against Iran, started in 1979.

 

US Will Be Defeated

The Hezbollah chief said the US and Israel have suffered numerous defeats in their confrontation with Iran since the 1979 revolution, and eventually they will be crushed.

“The clashes in the region will continue and might take other forms, but you should know that Iran is the most powerful country in the region and the resistance axis is in its best form,” he said.

“The US must make more withdrawals and pull out of the region. Israel should experience greater fear and defeats,” he said.

 

Mideast Governments Ought to Befriend Iran

Nasrallah urged regional governments to befriend Iran, saying the country is ready to lend a helping hand and promote Muslim unity in the region.

The Lebanese leader said some Arab government are trying to vilify the Iranian government, while they are the worst governments in the region.

A top story in almost all papers today was the remarks made by Parliament Ali Larijani about the Leader’s call for “structural changes” in the country within a four-month period. However, another lawmaker later claimed the Leader has called for changes to the country’s budget bill, and not the country’s structure.

Iraq’s reaction to US President Donald Trump’s vow to use its bases in the Arab country against Iran also remained a top story today, with many papers covering top Iraqi Shiite cleric Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani’s opposition to Trump’s words.

President Hassan Rouhani’s comment that Tehran would embrace closer ties with the US if the latter repents also made the headlines today.

Terrorism in West Asia Result of US’ Wrong Policies: Iran

Bahram Qassemi

“Terrorism in the West Asia region is the result and unholy child of misguided policies of the US and some of the country’s allies in the region in recent years and decades,” Qassemi said in a Wednesday statement.

They have used these policies as a tool to implement their strategies, including the creation of Al-Qaeda and ISIS and other extremist and terrorist groups, the Iranian spokesman said, adding that such policies have imposed crises, tensions and long-term instability on this region.

“Trump is falsely accusing Iran of supporting terrorism while it is clear to everyone that Iran, the biggest victim of terrorism in recent decades, has paid considerable material and spiritual costs in its tireless and real fight against this scourge, which is demonstrated in its major and undeniable role in defeating ISIS in Iraq and Syria,” he said.

Pointing to the fact that religious minorities, including the Jewish people, are freely living in Iran and have independent representatives in the Iranian parliament, Qassemi said, “Several decades after the World War II, the Western governments still feel indebted to Zionists. This is while the cultured Iran has been a cradle of toleration, peaceful coexistence and ethnic and religious diversity and has hosted nearly all divine religions.”

“This old and well-rooted culture is a major characteristic of Iranians,” he said.

“The Jewish religion has always been hailed by the Islamic Republic of Iran like other Abrahamic religions, and has a high status according to the Constitution. But one cannot deny that the inhumane and criminal moves of the Zionist regime under the name of the Jewish religion have tarnished the image of Jews in the world,” he said.

Pointing out that Iranians are these days celebrating 40 years of their popular resistance with dignity and might on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution, Qassemi said that “the Islamic Republic of Iran has held more elections than any other country in the region, including allies and close partners of the US which have dictatorial and authoritarian systems.”

“Undoubtedly, the Islamic Republic of Iran is the outcome of a popular revolution and is based on a democratic system.”

“Empty, illusionary and illogical allegations of the US president against the people and the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Establishment will fall short of covering up the crimes being committed by the US and its allied dictatorships promoting violence and extremism under the US support, which have massacred the suppressed the people of the region,” he said.

Qassemi’s comments came in reaction to Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday, during which he called Iran “the world’s leading state sponsor of terror,” and said the Islamic Republic “chants death to America and threatens genocide against the Jewish people.”

Iraqi PM Urges Trump to Eat His Iraq Comment

The Iraqi president US forces in Iraq are tasked with training Iraqi forces or fighting ISIS, and not monitoring other countries.

“We won’t accept Iraq to become a place for battles between Iraq and other countries, let alone accepting such remarks,” he said, adding that Trump’s remarks are violations of Iraqi Constitution.

“We believe such remarks are unhelpful and won’t help [solve] issues and we want our friends in Washington to change their position,” he said.

Speaking to CBS channel on Sunday, Trump said he would keep US bases in Iraq because he “want to be looking a little bit at Iran because Iran is a real problem.”

“All I want to do is be able to watch. We have an unbelievable and expensive military base built in Iraq, “he said.

Trump’s statement has met with widespread criticism from Iran and a wide array of Iraqi officials.

Iranian, French Diplomats Hold New Round of Tehran-Paris Talks

The latest developments of bilateral relations, the implementation of JCPOA and INSTEX, France’s obligations under JCPOA, the fight against terrorism and extremism and developments of the region were discussed in the meeting.

Speaking in the meeting, Iran’s deputy foreign minister urged other parties to the nuclear pact to make greater efforts to carry out obligations and restore the balance in implementing the pact.

Araqchi said Iran welcomes a financial mechanism created by European parties to the pact to protect Iran-EU trade, but said “the solution has been announced with long delays and we hope it will be implemented quickly.”

Gourdault-Montagne stressed France’s continued support for JCPOA, saying the mechanism was created as part of efforts to strengthen JCPOA.

“France is willing to continue dialogue with the Islamic Republic of Iran, an important and influential country, on all subjects of mutual interest,” he said.

Zarif Rejects Trump’s Accusations, Says US Brought Destruction to Region

Zarif

“Iranians—including our Jewish compatriots—are commemorating 40 years of progress despite US pressure, just as [Donald Trump] again makes accusations against us,” said Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, pointing to the ten-day celebrations in Iran on the 40th anniversary of the victory of the 1979 Revolution.

“US hostility has led it to support dictators, butchers and extremists, who’ve only brought ruin to our region,” he said.

In his address, Trump sought to justify his administration’s hardened line against Iran, saying he “has acted decisively to confront the world’s leading state sponsor of terror: the radical regime in Iran.”

“We will not avert our eyes from a regime that chants Death to America and threatens genocide against the Jewish People,” he said.

Trump also said the US had pulled out of the “disastrous” nuclear deal “to ensure this corrupt dictatorship never acquires nuclear weapons.”
