Many gamblers would want tell you that playing at a land-based casino means more interaction with VIP hosts and more of a community feel. Royal Vegas Online Casino VIP hosts are dispelling this myth with a host of Hosts (pardon the pun), proving that the gap between land-based and online gaming is fast becoming null and void.

John H: How would you compare the online VIP experience with a land-based one, and what facets of land-based would you like to incorporate into your online VIP modus operandi?
Jörn T: All the slots, table, and video slot games that you find in a land-based casino are available at Royal Vegas online casino. The only difference is that we cannot offer you any food, beverages or Hotel room accommodation. However, we make it up with all our rewards based excursions, promotions, massive bonuses, and a fabulous loyalty programme.
I’ve always wondered why people gamble online – I’ve realised, that online gambling is far more convenient than playing at a land based casino. In many countries, internationally, you often find that both husband and wife work, they have children, very little domestic help, and thus gambling from home is far more convenient. You can smoke at home, you can enjoy a few drinks, there is no need to drive anywhere and no need to worry about traffic congestion; all in all, this equates to more gambling entertainment.
John H: Can you give us any titbits on upcoming events and promotions that the VIP team are hosting?
Jörn T: Soccer World Cup Finals, Scandinavia Cruise, Holland America Cruise Rome, Tuscany Experience, Okanagan Wine Festival, Australia-Cairns Great Barrier Reef and Hamilton Island.
The personal interactions players can have with an online VIP Host are no different to that of a land-based one. From the information above, there are some incredible gaming benefits to actually playing online...with tours around the world, adventure to foreign destinations and lasting friendships built.
