Ideas for casino content

[ozim]

It's obiously much harder to write casino content than poker content. There are no celebrity players nor big televised events. On my casino website I wrote about Las Vegas, Monte Carlo, Macau, about the history of roulette or blackjack, about the MIT Blackjack Team etc and the movie 21 etc. etc.

Now I'm looking for some more ideas on what to write about and maybe some of you will be willing to share. I want to point out that by content I don't mean casino, bonuses reviews or anything else that tries to sell something to the visitor. Just cool articles to keep visitor interested.
Thanks.

Casino Games Rules
Casino Games Strategy (if any)
Betting Systems
Casino Facts
Casino Etiquette

That's just off the top of my head. You can probably find a lot more stuff to write about than you might think simply by brainstorming. Give yourself about 40 minutes with a peice of paper and a pencil and brainstorm.

Randy Ray writes some great posts on thinking up topics to write about on the PAP blog. The latest one is about Bingo content, but there is another great one on something like "how to build a 1000 page site" if you search through it a little. Really good stuff.

Yeah, i read Randy's posts, they definitely make a lot of sense.

And regarding the list you provided - thanks - but actually I'm looking for something bit different. Let's take games rules or strategy for example - let it be about blackjack - you can write tons of article about that. But first of all I'm not an expert on blackjack strategy and secondly, I don't want to write for geeks and hardcore blackjack players.

I want to attract the casual visitor and show them the casino world as a lot of fun, as a safe entertainment. That's why I wrote about the glamour of Monte Carlo, about the new brave world of Macau, about the megacasinos boom in Vegas, about cool MIT students beating the system etc. I just ran out of the ideas in that area.

I hope I gave you an idea of what I'm looking for. And of course I could just browse the web looking for my ideas but most of the sites I find simply sell people their affiliate links by listing casino reviews and comparing bonuses. So I post here as there are a lot of affiliates here who think outsite the box and have many interesting ideas.

One thing that can make for great content ideas is skimming physical books or industry magazines. Nothing beats a good afternoon at Barnes & Nobles writing content or at least getting ideas for new content.

Not much to add here since your content range is very limited. The strategies have all been written and there isn't much more to add, see www.wizardofodds.com. Land based casino news might be of interest but takes work to find. Book reviews of casinos and strategies make for more content but you have to buy and read the books. One thing I haven't really ran into are slow reviews of land based casinos. Maybe I'm not searching for it but out of all the sites and searches I have done this has never come up.
