Facebook is a social networking site that initially connected people with their friends, later introduced some coolest Apps, Games and music. Now they have entered into the online casino games foray. So far they have been the only social networking site that has been successful in gaming foray with over a million active users every day. Will they be able to replicate the same kind of success in their online casino game section is the question on everybody’s mind.

Few gaming analyst in the industry believe that since Facebook has over a million active users in gaming section they could easily recreate the same magic with online casino games, if they get their marketing strategies right. The company also has signed deals with online gaming companies such as 888 to host a whole gamut of online casino games. The most popular online casino games on facebook have been Slots, Poker, Blackjack, Video Poker and Roulette.

There are other sets of analyst who say that Facebook is a US based company and they are trying to penetrate in European markets as the legal situation in US is not suitable to conduct the online casino business. So the market they would be catering to would be limited. Moreover, major chunk of one billion visitors to Facebook are minors and minors are allowed to play online casino games. Probably, this latest venture might not create the spark as it did for online gaming industry.

As of now Facebook is creating value to its customers by refusing to add any social engagement tools in its online casino site. It’s alluring its customers by offering free plays and also games with real money. The Facebook online casino games are available on mobile devices too.

Right now the Facebook online casino game is in its nascent stage though it has created a lot of buzz amongst the online casino community. We will have to wait and watch how the business is going to unwrap itself in the coming few years before knowing if the venture was a hit or a miss.
