A Hot Topic For Conversation: New Tech In Casinos

The rapid development in gambling software leads to increased competition among companies that create games for land-based and online gambling clubs. However, online casinos have a bit higher advantage over land-based clubs.

Online gambling platforms available in every part of the world. You can place bets on roulette and slot machine games anytime, anywhere. Online casino games usually developed according to interesting plots that make it possible for the player to travel into virtual Macau or Las Vegas. But besides that, online gaming clubs are stagnating as of 2020.

Stagnation in the field of online gambling entertainment

For the past 5 years, the gambling niche has been in stagnation. New games do not differ much from old ones, and innovations in-game mechanics are nothing more than meaningless visual “mess” on the screen.

Land-based gambling establishments can offer the player a special atmosphere, free drinks, but what can online casinos give? It seems that since the first online casino game there have been no changes, except for improvements in the graphic component. What does the future hold for online gambling and what technologies can bring radically new sensations to old games? The answer is simple – Virtual and Augmented Reality technologies (VR/AR).

VR and AR technology – the main trend of the gambling entertainment of the future

At the time of its first appearance, new technologies are very expensive and often have a lot of disadvantages. Think of the transition from VHS to DVD. A DVD player at the time could have a price tag of up to $3,000. And now they cost $50 and nobody needs them. The same principle applies to VR / AR technologies.

VR headsets are already three times cheaper than they were in 2015. And with the release of Half-Life Alyx and Valve Index, VR has reached new heights in terms of immersion in the atmosphere of the game. Nowadays in VR Chat you can create your own alter ego and immerse yourself in the adventures invented by thousands of players in the Steam Community.

The main advantage of VR is that everyone can create perfect worlds (including futuristic ones) thanks to VR. In such worlds, you can create anything you want. The main thing is to have enough imagination. You can create real gambling clubs in which players can interact through VR headsets and controllers. Chat with dealers, play VR blackjack, or any other game from the comfort of your home. But so far, none of the gambling companies have created something like that. All VR casino games are only available at major gambling exhibitions.

However, only one thing is known for sure that VR / AR is the future not only in the field of entertainment and gambling but also an ideal tool for training doctors, military, engineers, students, etc.

Imagine how cool it’d be to study at an institute through VR. When each student could “relive” and study the historical events of the past through full immersion in the process. VR provides almost endless possibilities in all areas of human life. We just need to wait a bit longer…
