You have to admit, online casinos have such more appeal these days. With Avian Flu scares, SARS and other epidemics, who wouldn't rather pull up a chair or flop down in a recliner at home?

The appeal of Brick and Mortar casinos will forever be unmatched as a favourite pastime activity, but what about during flu season? Do you really want to be in a place that is open 24 hours and is never exposed to a good overall washdown? Without being too obsessive about hygiene, it is just something to think about.

The online casinos certainly offer a cleaner approach to things. For example, you can log into your favourite online casino room and never have to worry about touching the chips that your opponent has just sneezed all over.

If you are a non-smoker, you don't have to make conversation with everyone at the blackjack table while they 'smoke you out' of the game. You can get up and go to the bathroom and the dealer will wait. You can stand up or sit down at the craps table and no one will interrupt your roll by throwing their money down on the table as the dice are in motion.

The online alternatives are sterile clean. Have you ever noticed how the traditional casinos have all of the gold and glass smudged with fingerprints? It makes you stop and consider how many fingers have actually done the smudging and whether they were clean in the first place!

Online gambling is definitely the more sanitary choice. You have more gaming choices than ever before and can interact with players from all over the world without having to share their germs. Where else can you find entertainment in a smoke-free, people-free, germ-free environment? Nowhere else but in an online casino!
