I’ve seen several references to gambling associated with “Internet cafes”. Can someone educate me as to what is going on there? What kind of gambling is taking place?
As I understand the concept, the players willingly get fleeced in paying for playing nontraditional games for money, as opposed to playing for high points.
Virtual slot machines, virtual poker etc, and add in virtual sports, car racing and many forms of role playing video games.
I assume some of the players eventually get “real world cash” through the cafes somehow, but I am not certain of the exact mechanisms. But on the plus side, it does save carbon footprints by users not flying to Las Vegas, and the Feds don't get to tax it. /sarcasm.
