Can Connecting To Other Online Gamers Save Your Life?
Can signing on to a late night game of online Roulette be a life changing experience? It can if you are a 70 year old elderly woman who is in an emergency situation and cannot get to her phone. Trapped underneath her chimney, which had suddenly collapsed on top of her, trapping her and crushing her legs, she was unable to get to a phone to call for help. Thankfully she was able to reach her computer, and was coherent enough to take advantage of the live chat window at the online casino she was logged into. Being a part of an online gaming network literally saved her life.
Hailed as a hero, Nita Renee is the online gaming enthusiast that saw the elderly woman's pleas for help and responded by obtaining her name and location to provide to emergency services, who arrived in moments after being notified by Renee. The live support rep Renee never expected to be greeted with a life or death situation. She was simply having trouble sleeping, and decided to engage in a little online gaming entertainment. The family of the elderly woman are incredibly grateful for Renee's insomnia, and her willingness to get involved in a situation that others easily could have ignored or even considered it a prank.
Not only does this story end well, it goes a long way to reveal that online gaming buffs come in all shapes and sizes, and offer a much more benign diversity than those who oppose online gaming would like to be portrayed. The opposition would like to convince the world that only gambling addicts and people on the verge of financial ruin engage in online gambling. This couldn't be further from the truth. People of all ages, backgrounds and professions use online gaming as a harmless, potentially profitable and exciting form of entertainment. It is one of the safest, most convenient and thrilling opportunities that players have to do something relaxing and entertaining, with minimal disruption to their daily lives and schedule. Yes, there will always be some people that don't keep the entertainment at a healthy level, however this is the case with all forms of entertainment, from dining to enjoying a few drinks with friends.
Whether or not you are presented with the opportunity to save a life, connecting with other online gaming enthusiasts during your online gaming experiences can provide an additional level of fun and enjoyment and most definitely enhance your online gaming ventures. Should anything disastrous befall you during your online gaming, your live chat window could be your salvation, as it was for one lucky 70 year old woman who otherwise, may have not been found in time. |
