SEGA Online Casino

SEGA Online CasinoEver heard of the SEGA online casino? Probably not, but that’s only because it hasn’t been launched yet. However, SEGA Games has made a successful application for an online gambling licence from the Alderney Gambling Control Commission, and we can tell you that an online casino powered by Playtech looks like a done deal. The only question is when the casino will appear, and which characters might feature in the games.

If you’re old enough to play online casino games then you will certainly have at least a passing familiarity with the Japanese SEGA corporation, of which SEGA Games is a subsidiary. Remember classic SEGA video game titles like Sonic the Hedgehog, House of the Dead and Virtua Fighter? Well, just imagine that kind of gaming prowess being given an online casino spin and you will quickly realise just how big the SEGA online casino could be.

The licensing of well-known video games for online slots and other casino games is something that has really caught on in recent years. We have Tomb Raider slots, Hitman slots and even Call of Duty 4 slots. If and when a SEGA online casino is launched we might also be able to enjoy House of the Dead slots, Sonic the Hedgehog slots and Virtua Fighter slots.

Of course, this is just us speculating about the kind of games that might become available, but it would make sense for a SEGA online casino to make the most of its rich back catalogue of video game characters and titles. And who among us wouldn’t welcome the chance to blow a few House of the Dead zombies to pieces as we play for an online slots jackpot?

Should our speculations prove to be prophetic then we have another prediction to add to the mix: the SEGA online casino could well meet resistance from people who believe that any online casino game featuring famous video game characters can inadvertently encourage under-age gambling.

Online slots developers have so far managed to avoid this accusation by concentrating on adult video games titles such as Hitman and Call of Duty, and maybe SEGA will take a similar approach by focusing on titles like House of the Dead and Virtua Fighter. However, we hope that isn’t the case, because we would really love to see a Sonic slots game at some point.

How things develop remains to be seen, but when the SEGA online casino is launched just remember where you read about it first. And in the meantime, why not visit 32Red Casino and hang out with Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider sots game? Go on, you know you want to…
