Gambling has become one of the most popular pastimes in the world, especially with the advent of online casinos. It is a multi-billion dollar industry that lures millions of people with the chance to score the big win or a championship title. Anyone can get in on the action, but statistically only a very few ever make it to the top echelon of winners. What separates the sharks from the minnows in gambling?

The most successful players know that luck and skill only get you so far in the game. It is important to have self-control and focus. The most important asset of any player is his mind and his understanding of psychology. One must understand how the mind works, especially in the context of gambling. Just as important as reading another person's state of mind is the ability to read one's own.

Have you wondered why no casino has been built on Irish soil so far? It is because the government of Ireland strongly opposes any form of gambling under the severe penalty of law. While various projects have been submitted so far, none of them has been approved yet. This is also the case with Richard Quirk’s vision of a large scale casino-hotel complex. If this project had been approved by the government, the massive location would provide over five hundred guest rooms, several golf courses, indoor and outdoor racing tracks for enthusiasts, helipads and even a scaled replica of the White House. This ambitious project promises to be the largest complex of this nature in the entire Europe.

There has been a lot of hype regarding the intention of the Irish government to increase the one percent tax on all gambling. This tax proposition was intended to help the under-funded horse and hound racing industries of the country, which seem to be on their last legs, so to speak. Government officials and legal specialists have proposed that the gambling tax be upgraded to two percent, as opposed to the old one percent tax. However, while animal rights groups are applauding this project, the betting associations have protested vehemently against it. If you take a closer look to this tax increase, you will notice that the truth is somewhere in the middle, as both parties have a pretty strong case.

In a submission by the local authority for a review of gambling law reform, Dublin City Council has told the Irish government it is opposed to the opening of casinos anywhere in the capital.

The council stated that it was ‘opposed to any review of gambling laws that extends gambling beyond what is available at present’.

It did not want to see any new gaming arcades or casinos within its jurisdiction, and said it believed that gambling was dangerously addictive.

Ireland’s Department of Justice is in the process of examining what effects the widespread legislative reform of its gambling sector could have.

Casinos are illegal under the country’s current gaming legislation, but the operation of private members’ card clubs and other casino-style venues is not prohibited.

Dublin City Council was established a special cross-party subgroup to consider the terms of the review, which was established under the auspices of Ireland’s previous government.
