Yes, its true, no one like to pay a very high price just for gas, but, actually, the online gambling industry finds this oil crisis a bit encouraging: When the oil has been sold for low prices: $60, everybody could enjoy a good ride to Las Vegas, or their town's favorite casino using his car or his SUV, but now the rules have been changed.

 With the latest oil crisis and the dollar going down, less and less people drive,  since the price for a gallon (or liter) is quite higher than what it was before the crises and therefore people try to save up money and use the car only for the benefit of their own business.

OPEC, the company that controls a very large % of the oil in the world told that there is no escape from raising the oil this year, maybe up to $200 a barrel, this is due to the US Dollar being so weak in the market and that the US is still in recession.

A lot of people through out the world started to demonstrate at their government's door, claiming the oil is too high and the demand to remove the tax on the imported tax to their country. Countries India, china, Israel and many more has already started to protest.
 
Though the big change now, the online gambling have seen a quite interesting difference since things started to boil, more and more people started to log on to the web and play their favorite or most profitable online casino. No more driving to your land based casino and spending money on gasoline, players are now proffering to play online and stay at home.

Though I doubt even this latest bad news in he world will change much of people's desire to drive, but one thing for sure, the online gambling is now enjoying its best moments.
