More than four in 10 adults in Britain don’t know how to play poker. A poll of 2,000 adults commissioned by Lottoland.co.uk found 29 percent felt intimidated by going into a casino, with a lack of knowledge around betting games putting 37 percent off. Fear of being judged for not knowing the rules of a betting game (19 percent) and worrying about doing “the wrong thing” (23 percent) were also among the reasons holding people back. As a result, 29 percent would be more comfortable visiting an online casino environment compared to just 18 percent who would opt for a real-life one.
