In the United States, September always brings about Labor Day. Here at Everygame Casino, we thought to apply the ideas of Labor to online casino gaming. Let’s start with the most important development in online casino gaming: the great rise of mobile. Everygame mobile became the most popular way to play our more than 300 online casino games in just a few years.
Martin Cooper
We suspect that most gamers have never heard about Martin Cooper. He is 96 years old as we write this, and he is credited with having invented the mobile phone. He was a pioneer in the field of mobile communication. We salute Martin Cooper for his labor in creating the mobile phone, which he demonstrated for the first time in 1973 when the “phone” he used weighed over four pounds.
From 1973 to 2025 is only 50 years or so, but so many people have contributed their labor to create the world of instant communication we enjoy today and the lightweight hand-held smartphones “everyone” uses.
It is these phones, tablets, and other mobile devices that have improved so much since Martin Cooper lifted that heavy phone in 1973, that today most gamers use a mobile device to play online casino games.
Labor is Inherently Political
In 1913, the Department of Labor became a cabinet-level department after more than 50 years of struggle by labor leaders looking to improve wages and working conditions for American workers.
Rather than delve into the political side of labor, we would like to salute people whose labor has contributed so much to American lives.
Hi, Mom!
Let’s give credit where it so deservingly belongs: to women who spend hours in discomfort and pain delivering all of us. While Labor Day is about all kinds of labor, we would like to salute the billions of women who contributed their massive measure of labor to give us life.
People Who Worked at Home to Create Ease and Fun
There are many companies that literally started from home. We would like to give short summaries of how the labor of a few people has led to so much progress.

Apple
Three men created the first Apple computers: Steve Wozniak, Steve Jobs, and Ronald Wayne. In just 40 years, Apple has grown to become one of the world’s biggest and most important companies.
While the three men whose labor founded Apple are famous, we wonder whose labor went into keeping them nourished as they labored to create something that had never been created before.
Behind every famous person are many others who labored behind the scenes to create the final product.
Amazon
Very few people know that Jeff Bezos quit a good job to pursue what was to become Amazon. Younger people also do not know that the first product Amazon sold was books. Most people do not know that only when the company had enough money to buy tables, the workers were able to stop working on the floor - in Jeff Bezos' garage!
Finally, most people do not know that Jeff Bezos only became known in the general culture after he was a guest on Oprah Winfrey’s show.
An untold number of hours and workers contributed their labor to making Amazon the online retail giant it is today.
SpinLogic Creates Casino Games for Mobile
When mobile casino gaming was in its early infancy, all the games that appeared on the mobile devices were reformatted for mobile because they had been developed for desktop computers. This involved a kind of synergy between Apple and SpinLogic.
Today, because mobile gaming is so popular, SpinLogic creates games directly for mobile. Every day, people contribute their labor in order to develop the upcoming new slots one of which appears every month.
When you are playing any slot here at Everygame Casino, take a moment to salute the labor that went into the development of that slot and then multiply that labor by a factor of 10 or more to recognize the labor contribution of all of the creative people at SpinLogic.
This company has inspired a new verb in the English language. Google was started in a large garage and soon had multiplied its workforce and had moved to much larger accommodations.
This is another example of what labor can produce.
Mars Candy
The Mars family was immigrants from Germany a long time ago, and they thought that they could create chocolate that the American public would like. They concocted chocolate treats in their kitchen and went bankrupt twice.
But they wouldn’t stop tinkering with their recipes for chocolate and today produce a few of the most beloved chocolate bars available around the world.
Labor at an Online Casino
Everygame Casino has a large workforce that “labors” mightily to bring you the best online casino gaming around. We also tell gamers that with a little labor on your own part, you can achieve a return to player rate of about 99.5% in blackjack and video poker.
The labor comes in when you take the time to learn the best strategy for every possible hand. This is not so simple since, in blackjack, so many players are reluctant to take a card when they have 12 points or more. You should take a card if the dealer is showing a 7 or better.
In video poker, most gamers are reluctant to break apart a winning pair in order to go for a better hand, but it is not unusual to break apart a winning pair. This odd strategy starts out as very counterintuitive until you accept that it is also the statistically correct thing to do.
How Many People Do We Take for Granted?
It is certainly true that we all take a lot of people for granted. In belated honor of Labor Day, we will here list a few of the people we take for granted but shouldn’t:
- Garbage collectors.
- Mail deliverers.
- Doctors, nurses, and all other hospital personnel.
- Shelf stockers at supermarkets.
- Workers at small groceries.
- Firefighters and police officers.
- First responders.
- Waiters and waitresses.
- People who clean hotel rooms.
- Farmers.
Everygame Casino Takes No One for Granted
There are two important sets of people we never take for granted: the people whose labor makes Everygame a popular and successful online casino, and all of the hundreds of thousands of gamers who are signed up to play here. We appreciate the labor that goes into making sure that a large online casino runs smoothly in real time.
We also appreciate the loyalty our gamers have shown us over the years. It is our pledge to continue to provide the best online casino gaming possible with new games every month, new variations in table games and video poker, great promotions, and top-notch customer service.
