What do you mean - apart? All big online poker sites have a separate casino section, and real casinos offer (more or less) poker games too. I think this situation has been going on for quite some time, and is probably necessary for their income.

What i meant with apart is that poker could be played and offered in some places where they only offer poker and no other real money games.

In my opinion, poker and casinos are completely different things. I think these games should be separated, and they definitely shouldn't be combined. Poker is a completely autonomous game that is entirely self-sufficient, and any additions to it will always be superfluous in my opinion. But obviously, poker sites are primarily focused on making a profit, so they combine everything as much as possible.

Obviously i have heard that allegedly they do have casino (and sports betting) available but guess we must be one of the very few nations there for whom both these 2 features are unavailable (for whatever reason)
Maybe i should relocate 80+ kilometres further north to see these sections

Casino games should be offered as well as poker. I think those games can be refreshing especially if the variance in poker have given you headache, sometimes you can win from them as you do in poker. They are both a game of chance.

I believe for poople understanding poker there is a big difference between poker and casino games. The difference is expected EV. In poker it depends on players, their skill. Playing casino games is -EV by design.
But it does not matter what poker players prefer - sites go for profit, so they will obviously offer casino games as well.

Yes this is definitely a good point. You want many possible donators near you as a poker player to gain the maximum Profit possible.

Logged to stars for the first time this year to look these lobby things - everything from alternative layout to branding is the same but as expected no sign of casino and sports
So yeah #uninstall stars sure is justified once again.

Maybe the reason you don't see them could be a regulatory issue? Maybe they are simply not allowed in your country and where you stay?Logged to stars for the first time this year to look these lobby things - everything from alternative layout to branding is the same but as expected no sign of casino and sports

In that case, they wouldn't make much money. Besides, when casinos started, there was no poker. Poker players should be grateful the game has been integrated.
Also, don't forget that poker rooms are always separated already, whether online or in live casinos.

Well there are certain countries where so-called poker clubs exist or existed. Yes highly doubt owners got rich from it. "Grateful", idk really.

I never had problem to see in the poker lobby some slots or other casino games to be proposed to you to play . They are all gambling games . If you don't like this , you can set new preferences in the settings menu , disable casino games or even ban them completely , and you won't see them nor be able to play them

I like the story that happened to Victoria Coren Mitchell and Pokerstars. She had a contract with PS, she was in their team of professional players. And when the PS decided to add casino games, she tore a very profitable contract with them.
