Everyone is talking about the global recession these days and how bad everything is. My friend just lost his job after ten years of working for one of the biggest banks in the world and finds it hard to get back in to work.

But the funny thing is that people like my friend, have no other choice than making themselves self-employed, make a big difference during a time like this.

Families used to go to restaurants to treat their loved ones can’t afford it any longer and Fast-food chains leverage this and offer food yet for one dollar. So even though the economy is bad, there are still businesses that do pretty well.

Online gambling company PartyGaming, which owns PartyPoker and PartyCasino, increased their profit by an incredible 11% to $112.7 million in the third quarter, although the summer is usually a low period for businesses.

Partycasino changed their design and launched 60 new games this year, attracted new customers and is PartyGamings biggest earner according to CEO Jim Ryan. He also mentioned that their Casino continues to obtain more strength and consolidate their position as the world’s leading online casino.

So if it is cold outside and you sit on the sofa wrapped up in your blanket, why not visit their website and try all the new games. My favourite is their new Slot machine “The Terminator”!
