Founded in 1953 by Hugh Hefner, Playboy Magazine has been popular with male readers ever since. So it only makes sense that Playboy, with its strong understanding of what men like, would enter into the
online casino business. Playboy has teamed up with well known
software developer
CryptoLogic, whose state of the art technology is used to power several well known online casinos, in order to bring their own mix of great online
casino games and sex appeal to the market.
Though there have been plenty of reports and studies that show the increase of women who take interest in online casino activity, especially poker, the industry is still largely dominated by men. Playboy is obviously aware of this, and since they have a good grounding in men's entertainment, they have decided to enter into the online casino market. Though the website for the Playboy online casino does feature some scantily clad women, it will not be nearly as racy as the magazine itself.
Don't expect any nudity for now at the Playboy online casino. They are keeping things sexy but tasteful. The theme here seems to be a mix of online casino entertainment with the added bonus of attractive women scattered throughout the website…at least for now. Whether the Playboy Casino plans to show more skin and add more elements that the magazine itself is known for to the online casino in the future is not yet known. But when it comes to entertainment for men, Playboy has proven that they are successful.
