cryptowolf Posted October 24, 2018 #5 Posted October 24, 2018 Thank you for sharing with such impressive facts. Quite educating and motivating. Alas, the link presented by you appears to be invalid. I wanted to enter it but didn't even succeed to do it, as a database error was rapidly displayed. However, I truly want to know more about the history of gambling, it's a very exciting topic. So, I guess I would arrange further research regarding this.
williamshennie9 Posted October 24, 2018 #6 Posted October 24, 2018 I would love to know when in the timeline bitcoin casinos came into being. As far as I know, Primedice was one of the first bitcoin casinos?
cryptowolf Posted October 26, 2018 #7 Posted October 26, 2018 Hi, it's me again I just would like to add some interesting facts about Microgaming too. For example, in February 2014, it became the first gaming platform that ever tested Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch’s online slot. Actually, it looks like casinos with this provider's games are quite trustworthy nowadays. For me, it's really important to play on authority-checked and trusted platforms. I usually make some researches on different gambling sites. So, based on my experience with some casinos from microgaming casinos reviewed by Katie ,the listed ones are quite secure and providing good client’s support. So, coming back to the previous topic — please, share more interesting facts about gambling with Microgaming. It would be great to read them.
