Who else thinks that these kind of thing may hit mainstream sooner or later? I don't know if this is something new but seen a  news from Decentral Games that they are launching a play-to-earn Metaverse poker. Others predict next to NFTs boom that it could the the Metaverse hype. Any thoughts?

https://decentral.games/blog/decentral-games-announces-play-to-earn-metaverse-poker-ice-token-rollout

I read many article about metaverse and how many twitter shiller starting to promote metaverse project. With the current trend of NFT and Play2Earn feature, I'm sure that this will surely gonna hit on gamblng industry. I don't know exactly if it's gonna be considered as gambling alone because most the requirements is just to play certain task and earn free token. But it is good to see if this new trend can boost again the crypto gambling industry. I'm some of the well-known casino can consider it too once the demand was already there at some point in the future.

I didn't know they had those features. Anyway, it's not really that different from the more famous P2E today. They changed monsters into cards/chips for the PVP/PVE and some of the game mechanics.

Maybe it will. I would definitely play this if it's not on Ethereum (or if it's available on other blockchains).

How is it really any different from the loyalty/vip programs other sites offer? It's all the same IMO just in a different way.

Feels like something unique. If this gets enough attention which I think it will then it will definitely skyrocket soon.
Gambling already has a wide range of users and the NFT craze will is building up a new community.
Together this thing will hit off and create a new craze in the crypto community.
I think the Metaverse might also lead the way for new projects and thus creating a bigger community.

I don't want to get my hopes up on this one, I get that there's a lot of incentives but it doesn't bring anything new aside from the nice visuals and representation of the game (through the clothes of the character).

It looks interesting at first glance but imo it's hard to blindly trust another project and like what yahoo said you're better off playing the actual game from reputable gambling sites since they offer a similar reward system.

Seems like it's the usual poker stuff. Doesn't really bring anything new, except maybe the play to earn feature but really, it's just any other nft game out there. It's unique per se since it's a gambling nft game, but other than that, at its core, it's really just gambling. I'd reckon you can go to any other casino and you'd still get the same experience imo. Honestly, even the method of playing is basically the same as any other NFT game. It'd have a good player base yes, just like any other nft game out there, but it's because it's an nft game, and not because it's different from other nft games.

It's going to be introduced in an other way but we're still virtual. That looks cool if they're going to make a hype from it and it will make it look as exciting as it is. I'm getting interested with all of these NFTs and also seen some good ideas. Well, if they'll introduce this soon with a different approach and will make it like a virtual society with gambling inside of it, I think it will get the attention that it's wanting. Well, let's still see how is going to be the beginning of this idea they have.

Once NFT's boom ends, it will replace other new things that we do not know. Let say the Metaverse can boom like NFT, which will attract the other company builds another thing. I will not surprise if that is happening because the trend will always replace with the new one. It is good for crypto itself because it can grow faster and reach more players to join. Maybe the games will be the same but the process will be different.

I don't think there's a usual gambling feature here so I guess more fit at the Altcoin Discussion section.

The play-to-earn feature is acquired thru daily tasks then another way to earn is by tournament leaderboards on which there's no stake money like the usual poker game. It's the same as other play-to-earn NFT games with no gambled money on the table.


Checking the project, I feel attracted and become interested in it. I will DYOR first before risking my money here.

This has been the talk a while ago on Youtube, I think this is the next good thing to happen in the crypto industry. I wonder how it works or how can we take advantage in its early stage. If it's really going to be the new era of big-time investment, we should really put some time to learn about it in its early stage so that we can maximize our profit with our investment.

What I want to emphasize here was the future it may brings. I get others being skeptical if it will ever be a thing in the futureand I guess this Metaverse thing is on the right track. Well, we have faucets before and even right now in the present and I guess that's the same thing and what the best thing about Metaverse is that it's decentralized. I must say this is a signal the start of a new trend and I think gambling can be no exception in this case.

Check Splinterlands and Deheroes they are metaverse card games or very similar to that and judging how the community support this kind of trend, it is the next big thing we now have Binamon also a card game, and many more in the market trading in Decentralized exchange, things have become easy for this metaverse gaming because if the DEX's where investors and players can buy and sell.

For me if you put any amount on metaverse/NFT we cannot call it gambling maybe we can categorize it the same as other traditional games and the only difference is sometimes we need to put some money just to became stronger. Maybe its time for Bitcointalk to create NFT section since this is booming industry now and might this forum can gather the attention of NFT devs  and market their products here.

Perhaps you need to visit and know what's Decentral Games is for. Decentral Games is a community-owned Metaverse casino and I guess from that you can imagine what they really want to build. Well, it might be an off topic thing but I think NFT still resides on the Altcoin section in this forum, just my two cents.

I already have 3 NFT play to earn games that I invested with and now this. It's new for me because of NFT projects that I follow are games with pets and other stuffs.
Is the game already ongoing? I tried pressing the "Play as guest" button but it crashes my Firefox browser. Perhaps, this needs a more powerful computer to play.
I'm out if that's the case being not capable to buy that kind of computer yet.

I think not playable yet as I've read it was set to be released this coming October but it isn't that far for a launch. I think it doesn't have a specific requirements for playing as it will be played on web browser, don't know the specific details regarding that to be honest, maybe wait until it's out or join there community for questions.

I've heard about this a few days ago and it sound interesting. I guess it would click since play to earn games are on trend these days. Most players are seeking new ways to earn while playingng and enjoying at the same time. We don't know until when NFT games would boom but it's still a good time to launch a new one that will also involve gambling.

You have a point however we need to understand that the majority of gamblers are looking to gamble to have some fun and as such even if the mechanics of the games are the same if the graphics are changed and some additional features are added then there is a chance that some gamblers are going to want to try platforms like this in the future, as something that gamblers are always looking is for a novel way to enjoy the games they have played for so long, so I think this has some potential.

I'm hardly used to seeing the term "metaverse" outside of sci-fi movies, still trying to figure out how it's fitting in with cryptos and a world of augmented or fully simulated virtuality.
But however it evolves, I'm sure gambling will accompany this innovation side-by-side as it gained a lot of space to grow with cryptocurrencies and virtual environments will give it even more space for it to grow.

I'm sure a lot of the big casinos are already looking at this and looking for a space to fit in....how is this going to happen? I think it's too early to say... let's follow up to see.

They have certainly gone all out with the marketing messaging and spin on their version of the blockchain. Undoubtedly some people will get sucked into it, but at the end of the day it looks like a money making machine primarily for the original founders. They state that you could possibly earn money from it (presumably by reselling skins that you unlock?) but it requires you to buy an item at the beginning, it almost sounds like a pyramid or multi level marketing scheme. They're certainly spending a lot of money on things like animations and graphics, so will naturally want a return on investment - it is being driven by a business idea. Beyond that, none of the games look particularly original and small scale poker rooms are terrible from a player perspective.

Metaverses are developing with great speed and attract the attention of not only players but also large companies. Of course gambling will come to this sphere because by using NFT and Defi it is possible to offer users a completely new experience in gambling.It is possible that this kind of entertainment will attract young players, but still think that none of the metaverses will not be able to recreate the atmosphere of a real casino.

Exactly and i do have the same thoughts that this isnt something revolutionary but at least we do see some implementations on different aspect which might really poked up some interest in some people

but in general aspect it is really just the same but well it do passed out into my interest and i might having considering on taking a peek on this one for more.

The thing is, we always talk about decentralized casino but in reality, this is what people really need, I mean, look at the popular casinos now, they are dominating because people trust them and they only use crypto gambling to make the transaction faster and anonymous but the old standard of games are still in demand. NFT craze will eventually end, and it's a big challenge for them to make a name in the gambling industry.

Well, it is not really gambling but it features gambling on the game so it is really both, (kind of?) but the interesting part here is the play to earn features and how they will implement it in this game, it may have PVP or player vs player, or a daily quest kind of play 2 earns, well and NFT collectibles that you can sell to earn as well, this could have elements of gambling in them so you might sure use your poker gambling skills in the game, and you get to win because of your skills, my opinion is this game is really interesting to poker players and NFT collectors but I will surely look further on the gameplay.

If there's hype, it always has a chance to boom, be it as poker or any NFT games. The fact that NFT games are hyped today, any game as long as it has a play-to-earn feature will always be considered by investors and hypers.

In fact, as I look at the site to check some information about it, their something hype that I feel to myself and it means not just me but others also become curious about that NFT game. Let's see if later on, it will make sounds in the world of NFT games.

The difference is, there's a touch of NFT here something that is different compare to the usual poker gambling site. And by going in daily challenges or daily tasks, players will earn ICE tokens as a reward.

I'm not just sure though where these tokens can be sold later on. Still exploring the site at the moment.

It's my first time I heard this word Metaverse and I made a quick research before I write down here my opinion. To be honest I am now all in about NFT games and admitted that I've became more interested about NFT because of the hype but of course I did my own research too and looking about Metaverse gambling it catch my attention and I think this platform will going to be hype one of these days. I mean I can't tell when this NFT craze will eventually end but before it happen I would definitely dive deep to know more about this Metaverse.

This is a short definition of Metaverse according to the article
Paid to Play in the Metaverse – the Crypto-Based Future of Gaming (https://dailyhodl.com/2021/08/01/paid-to-play-in-the-metaverse-the-crypto-based-future-of-gaming/)



There's a lot of better things this metaverse is offering to the gambling community I have tokens on two metaverse project and so far they are doing great in the market in two years time the metaverse gaming will rule the gaming and gambling online industry but of course, traditional Crypto online gambling will retain their shares of the market.

Well, this metaverse gambling is not for me... basically, it's decentraland game, and you move there like in any game, I guess you can talk with other people, you can have fun exploring around... but not for me! After a few minutes, I just closed the window and I doubt I will try it again... ah one more annoying thing, I went Fortmatic way to register and I needed more time to set it up than I spend in the game!
I will stick with "normal online gambling", or call it as you like... with easy access and focus on the gambling game!

Game related NFTs need some type of intrinsic value and functional utility IMO. They need to be integrated into the game mechanics to carry value.

Game issued tokens also suffer from devaluation over time. Creating a race to the bottom where players dump tokens ASAP. The opposite of HODL and building long term value.

A lot of people are hopping on blockchain, NFT and play to earn (P2E) bandwagons. Unfortunately, many are not well structured, designed or built. Their long term longevity is definitely in question.

There are a few good P2E games out there. While the remainder of the market could be getting out of control the way ICOs did.

The real experience might not be the exact same since real experience has the physical touch which lack in metaverse and virtual reality but it may be very similar to the real experience.
Technology is advancing quickly and it will take only a few years to create a virtual world which will have almost identical things and similar experience to the real world.
Everything has their own pros and cons and so will the metaverse. Whether or not the experience feels like real it will create a whole new experience for most of the people in the crypto community.

Let's see if poker games that reside in NFT will be a boom. If you will look at the site, the development is good and it's eye-catching to me. I want to test this game depends on the starting price. Users need to buy something in the shop to active the play-to-earn.

But I don't see when will the game release. Can someone lead me to that?

These games are NFTs if I am right so that can only mean that what you can probably win there is much more valuable than that of a normal gambling website since they pay in crypto. Plus, it's a much easier way to make money for now because it's NFTs are the hots right now.

As far as I know metaverse development/games such as Epic Games or Roblox, Metaverse can be said to be one of the domains for business by everyone, for that I've seen people play metaverse games they have candidates, I also see metaverse an experience and entertainment is quite impressive and extraordinary for everyone.

So how to play play-to-earn based poker, as far as i know metaverse like Minecraft, Roblox etc.

Actually, games like this have been around for a long time. if anyone ever tried entropia universe ? also almost the same system like this. maybe different now by involving blockchain and NFT systems which makes this a more interesting thing. maybe it could become a trend again in crypto. considering that game finance and nft game is so popular among gamer and crypto user.

NFT's are indeed in trend right now, the only difference is that most of them are like ponzi scheme, they are only good at first and then suddenly they are gonna downgrade their game and leave it after many investors invested on them. Play to earn poker would be a hype since many people know how this game works, and might be good if they are going to offer PVP as well and not player vs. house only.

If I'm not mistaken, there's a app like poker in playstore which is a play to earn game but you need to earn a lot of coins in order to convert it on a currency, consider it like a faucet since the earnings is very small.

Not to break your hype or interest with NFT's but most of them are trash but we cant really just put aside the probabilities of earning more depending if it would really gain some value
way more than on that typical earning you could get when you do that casual gambling.

Anything that do involves enhancement or something that it isnt present on this market would always be a good thing.Time will tell if interest for this one would really be
that effective nor relevant.

I agree with what the OP said about the Metaverse poker project introducing the play to earn protocol with the addition of NFT art will hit the mainstream cause this seems to be widespread among the online gaming project but the games they integrated are not only metaverse poker.
If the gaming industries manage the movement very well a lot of game enthusiasts and gamblers may join the movement.

Yeah definitely just a matter of time imo.

NFT technology and metaverses are definitely the way forward for blockchain tech in general.

A metaverse can simply provide so much more from an immersion perspective than traditional games, as well as being able to provide rewards in a whole ecosystem. Wonder what the major players here will be.

I'm a huge believer.

I think that we will soon see more decentralized casinos coexisting alongside centralized casinos.

Metaverses are gaining a ton of traction especilaly as a way to play games. It's clear that the next progression will be integrating some games of chance into these metaverses through leveraging their tokenized reward platform that requires no KYC to play on.

If done right, this could be a serious blow to the fiat gambling industry.

There are some metaverse projects out there that are trying to deliver more than a game but a whole set of Tools that allow their players and content creators to create their own content inside the metaverse. Netvrk is one of that projects and a user or even a big casino itself building a copy of its physical building inside the metaverse is definitely an idea that sounds very interesting. Therefore they could also reach people that have not thought about gambling before.

Majority of the P2E projects that I've seen, they are competitive games and needed to win for you to earn.

There's also a massive adoption that's happening with NFT games, the next would be addition of those tokens for gambling and this new metaverse poker, it would possibly click if it's easy to play and investment needed isn't a lot.

If someone can spend his most time playing with those NFT games and treats it as a good investment, you keep doing what you think is right.

The crowd are into the NFT games and we're likely to see with gambling to those games soon.

The question asked is extremely relevant as today we see so many new projects launching with the promise of a Metaverse.

If done well, unfortunately, the way I see it, unless there's some hard structural changes, or partnerships in place, casinos may feel a hit hard.

Of course, this may take some time to be disrupting an industry that has been so solid for many decades, and it is just my speculative opinion...

It makes no sense to compare gambling in a real casino and gambling in the metaverse, because they give completely different experiences and emotions. Yes, gambling in the metaverse will find its fans, but most likely they will come from online casinos. I think that the real casinos will not suffer from the development of this direction of the gaming industry.

I am on the same boat as well as you @madnessteat that it wouldn't affect the way real casinos as of today since there are people still want they vibe from real people expression and faces while playing. These online casino owners shouldn't ignore this trend because this may disrupt the future sooner or later.

More like they will co-exist or just have a different market.

still looks like normal gaming finance to me. the difference is this game is openly about gambling and poker. they claim play to earn but in some feature had to gamble to earn. maybe the concept of gaming finance gambling like this will be popular among gamblers only.

Metaverse gaming or NFT games are new trends that contribute to the usage of Cryptocurrency there are many gamers among us being a multi-billion dollar industry, so there are building markets within Cryptocurrency, adoption is very fast because it involves the use of Cryptocurrency where you can make a profit from holding and demands in the market.

Even nongamers come here to play because of the promised earnings, we'll see how this new community will progress.

I think the concept of money is not going to be changed whenever or wherever we are since it's always going to be why some people are doing it. I think the play-to-earn type of thing is always going to be lucrative and with all the people trying to do something to make their lives better whether it's in gambling or playing games, it's just the same overall.

What interests me in that project is the "delegation" type of project. It seems new to me or is it quite old already?

Recently I posted about betting being embedded into many games, not just into those resembling metaverses or role-playing at large scale (MMRPGs). The fact that you may add NTFs and a metaverse makes the whole experience richer and more fun and, of course, more attractive and perhaps, to some people, more addictive. Just make sure that you "other life" does change your real life and make sure you keep good social relations in your hood and environment. As for the rest... enjoy!

It is going to be interesting to see if something like this can become popular for the long term, it is obvious that right now with the huge hype that we have with NFTs that there is a market for something like this, but the question is always going to be if this model can be successful once the NFT hype is over? And this is difficult to answer as the games do not look that original, however the combination of gambling and cryptocurrencies has always been a powerful one so there are some chances this could work long term.

Unique functional features might set its standard as well. Since its live and persistent, more comfort is brought in. Epic games are really appreciated among multi players. This would certainly create more hype in the market. And yes combination of gambling and crypto currencies have always been the option to move with among crypto currency handlers those who gamble. So as said, in near future Metaverse might be setting up its standard after NFTs.

Base on what I learn so far about some gaming projects that also integrated NFT and "play to earn".
Most of them are not gambling sites, they are just normal video game sites that allow game enthusiasts to enjoy what they like and get passive income while they do it but it is too early to know what will happen to gamble integration though NFTs is making wave in the market and the last time I check gambling enthusiast like to play on the platform they trusted.

In the meantime, let's wait and see how it goes.

Well, I wouldn't suggest being hasty with your decision because the Metaverse is just getting started. The games we're seeing right now are just the first phase. The industry while huge, haven't yet reached the predicted level of success yet and it would take a while for people to start getting used to them. In crypto, it's not always advisable to completely close out the possibility of getting onboard any new trend. I could remember when defi started, I had my doubts and didn't participate at all. What happened next, I missed out on plenty of opportunities. My advice is to stick around for a little longer because there's still a lot you're yet to know about the Metaverse.

Gamblers will come in.

Just like with NFT P2E, gamers came in.

So if there's a feature that's dedicated for the gamblers then for sure gamblers will like to have that NFT gaming that's more focused in gambling.

I do think that you have to keep updating everything if you do wanna be competing in the current market since we have a lot of things going on right now and therefore the more we go further into the whole thing we have to make lucrative offers for the users and for the other companies alike.

I do think NFT games would be a big hit and the same time there are places where even games like Pokemon are getting banned therefore I do think there is a fine line that these companies have to create and follow through.

Isn't poker already a p2e game? I mean, if you win, you'll get earned. I don't think it's particularly unique in comparison to the popular P2Es of today, because most of them have difficult mechanics and have undergone significant development. But I believe this will be popular; gamblers will try it out because NFT games are very popular right now, and the majority of them are successful and this is a meta breaker, could find some interesting mechanics or gameplay here.

That's what I thought as well but this could be easily solve via rankings, like the usual games. Players would have ranking tier, like for example rank A, B, C, so on and so forth, to avoid pro players playing newbie players, this way it is gonna be fair in my opinion, if they won't have such thing as ranking, then yes it is going to be monopolize by pro poker players and it's gonna be one-sided.

Yeah, I see plenty of gamblers trying out NFT games because it's currently fresh.

But I'm not sure about the long term prospects after this initial phase of "freshness".

People will still likely prefer to play the traditional games, and those who prefer NFT games will simply be in another category altogether. I doubt there will be a significant overlap between the two groups.

The long term is in jeopardy because the current NFT games that have the fastest ROI are having some huge problems after few weeks of starting the game. Because their rewards are always drained and the players are multiplying this is one of the problems that they've been facing right now especially those games that focus on play to earn without having daily quests or any activities to make their players have some fun without focusing on the earning features. As soon as they run out of rewards, they close the earning features like what we see right now on Cryptoblade. No one really knows if they come back again.

I reckon this certainly opens the cryptospace to a new domain for money laundering, taxation avoidance and other regulatory issues where any law and policy will be very difficult to impose. NFT is art and the world’s art market is unregulated. The developers might have found another area for disruption hehehe.

But is not that the very definition of gambling? Gamblers use some money that they can spare to lose and then they begin to play a series of games with the hope of eventually becoming a winner, is it not this the very same thing that is happening with those NFT games? Because I think it is, and it would be interesting to see if this becomes popular long term and other casinos need to create those kind of games to try to keep their customers from moving to those platforms.

We have come a long way already from the initial gambling metaverses already. Dragon's Tale I still remember being one of the first ones.

I think that this trajectory is not going to slow in any stage in the future. The adoption of crypto as well as the enthusiasm around NFT based games and games of chance in general combine to give a very interesting dynamic going forward.

Even though a lot of the current projects likely won't survive, we may see some established sportsbooks/gambling sites transition to establishing their own metaverses on the blockchain very soon.

Pretty sure that we're going to see this from happening, there's still a lot of untapped potential in NFT and one of them is gambling, I don't think that we wouldn't see it becoming too big though as it's a gambling after all but to be honest, I think that we will probably see a lot of these gambling part of the NFT games and not as a stand alone.

I completely agree.

This is the problem with these new technologies that have just entered the space.

It's clear that they have a lot of potential and can completely change the landscape of the gambling industry, but no one knows exactly how or when. Right now the long term outlook for these things is still quite uncertain I think, but I do think that metaverses have the potential to disrupt and casinos who innovate first will reap the rewards.

I think Cryptoblades isn't measurer for anything. That "game" was a ponzi since the beginning. It was just a browser website artificially inflated in a very short time period without any real gameplay or action. Furthermore there was no logical way to explain how that project could be so successful. It can't be compared to real mmorpgs or casino games.

Regards the mentioned metaverse from Decentral Games it's totally different, because there are actually casinos games which people will play and earn tokens. Those who want to cashout their free earnings will have this option, while those who want to keep playing will have the possibility of doing that as well. It looks a good concept for me that will unite gamblers, micro earners and investors (staking will be also disponible) in a single place.

It depends on how the gamblers fully familiarize themselves with these new trends, gamblers love to play in a traditional setting online and offline, if this metaverse gambling is easy to understand, no complications and gamblers can easily relate or familiarize and profitable, they will easily get into it, we'll see next year if this metaverse gaming will take off and become a serious threat.

Sometimes that's the huge hindrance as well for people that are new to crypto, they are getting into culture shock of things and they feel it isn't that easy. People tend to go onto the simplest things like once click and then play, spend or receive and other things but so far this isn't that we expect especially those who aren't into technologies.

Well, metaverse based play to earn games are becoming quite common these days. As players can earn money through it, it is becoming popular as well. But frankly, I haven't yet seen a gambling aspect of it. It is mostly limited to the trading of digital assets through a marketplace. I am not sure how it can be incorporated in traditional gambling games like poker, Blackjack or Roulette. We are yet to see such implementation in reality. Do you know any gambling game created in Metaverse?

Gamblers may join in but you can't speak for every gambler and for the play to earn project. How many experienced gamblers of this forum participated in one? They will the heart of some gamblers but not true gambling enthusiast which only trusted in top 20 coin on CMC and long existing reputable gambling site.


Yes, it is almost the same definition of gambling but the difference is that this project owner also introduced their crypto which its promising future is not guaranteed and this increases the risk involved in this new gambling with NFT innovation.

True, If a person sole purpose is to have a gambling activities in the comfort of his own, he's not gonna make himself complicated thinking about how to navigate a "metaverse" gambling games. It's inevitable for them not to think that navigating the whole game will be difficult and will only waste their time when they can actually play the traditional online poker.
Well, of course game devs will surely Instill some features that will catch the interest of both pure gamers and pure gamblers.

I am not really familiarize with Metaverse and I made a quick research about metaverse which I think this feature for crypto is quite attractive and interesting but I do realized that Metaverse seems quite similar to NFT. Like NFT it also has the same essence of giving people a complete ownership over a virtual character, accrued in game items and virtual land. Of course one of the most exciting feature that will make this Metaverse click will be the virtual casino feature or a gambling related feature which for sure a gambler would truly appreciated it.

The hype that's generated by NFT is both a good and bad thing because if you look at it, there's more people that's getting into crypto but at the same time, this people are also gullible so they're likely to get scammed as scammers are getting more rampant too.

Let's take Axie Infinity as an example. Many people, even not crypto-oriented or familiar with anything about crypto try to enter game and forced themselves to learn because of the play-to-earn- feature.

The same will goes on Metaverse-based games that involve gambling features. Even a gambler is not familiar or having difficulty understanding the stuff about metaverse or NFTs, as long as they see more opportunities to earn here while doing gambling, they will do anything to learn it.

And no. It won't be a threat in the future for usual gambling because features are different.

Idk how else would it differ from other P2E schemes, but given that there are elements of poker embedded on it, I'm sure it will quickly gain a following and supporters. The NFT space is growing more and more every day, and with such projects like this, the growth would only accelerate. The problem is, at the end of the day, it's just poker, so it will be hard to persuade people to transfer over to metaverse just to satiate their gambling needs. Then again, the NFT space is looking more and more promising by the day, so I think there's already that for people who are still quite unsure if they should jump ship or not.

I think this kind of massive adaptation will benefits a lot of players another NFT game will arise and compete with other top rising, still this is a gambling game need to have skills to win the game but I guess not too hard to play gambling instead its an easy way and having a reward, does the multiverse means an outside world of futuristic ideas like alien gambling or a planet representative to fight with their world.

The NFTs are attracting new users to the cryptocurrency market and if you are a group mod it is a really hard time to make them understand how to purchase and safe guard them. It is a hell of a job to even make them understand because they have no idea about the market. When it comes to gaming yes there are many who are avid gamer's who will try their luck in this market.

It is not going to be a threat as the user demography is a bit different, who likes to collect art and does other gambling is different.

Perhaps I'm wrong, but NTF has long been reminiscent of a superbubble or even a fraud when, for example, the dumbest "collections" are made and, by means of boosting trades, tokens are given a value that they do not have just in order to sell this garbage to someone. In my opinion, all this can burst at any moment.

^ Definitely right, is just a poker no other different on the other poker games. There are too many NFT games now with a different concept of games and I think the NFT games that game has more exciting were most likely people be like by the players and the hunters. Probably on the other side, this will next arise, we don't know if players will have interest in it but once there's an NFT project, there will be investors but the thing we don't know if people will stay on it or jump on the ship later on.

Metaverse and NFTs opened a wide avenue for people who support cryptocurrencies and technology in general to explore and make use of. Gambling may find its way in this field once Metaverse games and systems are much more established which could happen in the near future, provided that the industry receives the same notice and admiration from the people consistently. More people finding NFTs neat and useful, means more people exploring what NFTs can be used for, creating a diverse environment that gambling needs in order to flourish. So yeah, there is a huge possibility that as long as things don't go south, we could experience our first few gambling metaverse games within our lifetimes, maybe even play it ourselves. Doesn't have to have a particular type of gambling for it to work. For all we know developers could envision a slot or diceroll game that is basically based on chance rather than skill and it could still work because people will enjoy gambling anyway as long as they win in one way or another. This could be the case for the first few games that the Metaverse system and NFT industry could have in the near future, and you could bet your bottom dollar that I will try to play it provided there is no complicated stuff that could keep me from playing the game.

Where the money is that's where people will go, that is why so many people learn about Cryptocurrency because of Axie Infinity the attraction of making money for just doing simple tasks is a big come-on for people who want income at their home at this time of the pandemic.

Metaverse is something new and it's taking the Crypto community by storm there are so many projects involving metaverse but people should still do proper research, as scammers will make this new niche their new playground.

seems like for people who like nft games, gambling system is big no for them. because they consider NFT as an investment not as a gamble most of them interested because it was made as investment that will definitely generate returns and profits. maybe the metaverse for nft real games will get more people to joined.

Developers are striking while it's hot, metaverse gaming is now a big trend in the market, there are new NFT projects being launched and if you check the altcoin section, there's a lot of topics about metaverse gaming, metaverse play to earn poker is new but a promising niche, Decentral plan is very cool and they are targetting poker players, this is something to look forward in the gambling industry.

It is in demand but there are still some features that have been just done repeatedly by them.

A metaverse with poker, just imagine those virtual real estate or game plays that have casinos on the game and you'll get to play virtually as if you're going to the casino virtually with the Vegas vibes, I think that's what they have to aim.

I'd reckon it wouldn't really be difficult, it's only changing a platform plus adding in features that make it seem like it's a whole new 3d world specifically made for gambling purposes. It, at it's core, is still a game. Gamblers in the general sense play gambling as "games", so I hardly think it would be that hard. IF the complications involved let's say, country-wide restrictions, hardware specifications, and many more requirements that would make it a pain in the ass to play, then maybe, but if it was the usual games? I hardly doubt it would be difficult.

What I think is that the concept of NFT is great but the way it is being used currently is shit.
The implementation of NFT is technically sound and can give many utilities but it is just being used to trade digital art these days.
People are selling shit arts for thousands of dollars which makes me feel this is definitely a bubble because who would pay thousands of dollars for a drawing which even a teenager could draw.

NFT has a far better usecase than this and I think gaming is one of them. NFTs in gaming can change the way how NFTs are utilised.

You can find all of these games at thousands of other online casinos already - both with fiat currency and cryptocurrency. NFT's is just the buzzword of the moment and this is a company looking to make money from that. Being a "first mover" in this situation is almost useless when there are so many barriers to entry is a recipe for failure. I cannot see many people paying upfront in order for the chance to earn money by grinding, especially when it requires a lot of people doing the same thing for the whole system to grow. Free to play is what people want when they're already risking money at the tables. There seems to be a lot of marketing hype but little substance to the whole setup - it'll probably be dead within a year or two. If not, it will have drastically altered from the current configuration and probably to the detriment of earlier buyers.

But it seems to me that even the very concept of NTF is crap. There are many inconsistencies in the very idea - NTF are supposedly unique, but there are many blockchains, and if we are talking about the connection of NTF with something real, then you can create a lot of NTF for any subject in different blockchains or even in different smart contracts.
As for the use in games, on the one hand, it looks reasonable here, but on the other hand, there are many games without blockchain and with the arbitrariness of developers, but where everything happens honestly and they do not abuse their capabilities, i.e. in the end we get the same result but without NTF.

That is precisely the issue, when I take a look at what is happening with this new way to gamble I think there is a lot of potential there but at the same time we do not know if that potential is ever going to be materialized and if it does when that could happen, after all many people that thought the same about bitcoin invested in it very early on only to sell their coins at the wrong time as they lost hope on bitcoin ever becoming as successful as they thought and something similar could happen here.

But somehow those NFT art have a meaning in the artist and believe it or not even if it looks like a shit art to others there will be someone who has a sophisticated eye on the art that could appreciate it and that's why NFT art has still the guts to be sold on the market. Well I guess NFT concept will not probably going to hype like happening today if it's only focused in digital art, music etc. but NFT become more valuable in the eyes of the traders and investors because of the NFT game. This NFT game with a feature of a play-to-earn really made a remarkable hit for the NFT which up until now the hype of the NFT games continuously soaring high. However, thinking about Metaverse, this one is gonna be a great feature too, I mean this will be an attractive feature on crypto platform.

As time flies many would choose to jump.into the ship provided NFTs are there to earn many investors would also partake in the projects which will also prompt many people to jump in the ship even not necessarily because the love poker games but trying to earn the NFT making even more gamblers venture into metaverse because a lot of people who gamble do it to try their luck and wouldn't mind switching once a good offer is presented

Exactly and that's what we should do too, we need to jump in the trend while it's on it's Golden Age because it won't last a long time. Gambling on the other hand could probably stay much longer since this is a business and it doesn't need hype to continue to operate.

In fact, we can never know that this is true. NTFs have excellent opportunities to launder money (well, and to deceive naive investors also, but this is not the main real application in my opinion), we can never separate this activity from the proclaimed concept of NTF and learn the true value of NTF. The main hype of NFT is already behind (volumes have fallen sharply), maybe in the near future we will be able to roughly understand what the real niche of this innovation is.

Early investors that do have the courage to test early beta games will always be benefited if the said project will be hyped. But it needs money to start and face the possibility that they might not get the ROI.  Most NFT games now are hyped at first and only a few got become stable in the long run. Cryptoblades, Alienworlds are those I played during early access exactly right from the start of their game launch but after their hype was gone, it now becomes a usual game that exists in the NFT game world.

Just as you said, where there is money, that's where people go. Unfortunately, most people will disregard the "proper research" part of choosing an NFT game as long as it was gone hype and many people are making noise about that project. Many got wrecked because of putting a trust right away on an NFT game that became hyped.

It's the worst thing because many lose their money but on the other hand, the good side is, the next time they will put money again, they are now more educated, strict and will do their best DYOR skills as much as possible.

After the success of Axie Infinity and the support, the NFT and metaverse are getting, this is going to be the trending topic in the market, people are looking for new things and new experiences and metaverse is something that will send us to a new level of gaming and gambling, one metaverse project that succeeds will bring more metaverse projects.

But for sure not all of them would be like the original one that'll last longer than those who followed. For example, Axie Infinity is one of the trending games in where you could earn money while playing, and then another NFT game came in, like cryptoblades which is now in the verge of rug pull, also cryptozoons, etc. More like a ponzi schemes in my opinion, but a game based one. So it is important to always do your own research before adopting an NFT or Metaverse game.

There's nothing to be worried too much though, yes there's risk in this games but it's a matter of gambling for this kind of stuff and you don't want to miss out on big profits because you're playing too safe. Those games that you've played, at the least you're still making money from it since it's stabilized and it didn't crash and got abandoned.

Most newbies fall prey to games and NFT projects that show promise of profit but fall short in longevity. Things come and go and the same goes for projects in the cryptocurrency space, but there are a few notable ones that with a little bit of research and time, you may stumble upon and invest. Instead of going for the one-hit-wonders of the market that will only give you profits for a couple of months and would then drop out of nowhere, slow but sure projects are a better alternative. The same could be said for projects in the NFT space. As we progress to a much more advanced future, people will take notice of the Metaverse and would inevitably invest in projects that promise anything that is Metaverse-related. That being said games aren't just the things you can toy with when discussing Metaverse. There are boundless applications for Metaverse that could then be transposed into cryptocurrencies and NFT projects which would definitely amp its standing over the world.

You are right. Make hay while the sun shines has become the mentality of these NFT Devs and they are making millions of money just by launching shit NFTs.
I have arts which look like shit being sold for more than 10 sol which is almost more than $1500.
The NFT trend is in a good hype these days but I don't think it will last long. So taking profits while we can is the best strategy for now.

So that can be a new trend that will replace NFT trends but the NFT will still be beside us. If that really happens, people will have a chance to profit and make money from the new trends. It is not surprising if that can attract more people to join in the crypto because if that is about a new level of gaming, young people will try to play the game. We know that young people have more curiosity about the new thing, especially in the gaming business so if the metaverse project can reach them, it will become the next popular trend in crypto.

Many felt that this is something that is worth checking or waiting for, and I think that with a little effort from the community this will also attract more participants who will invest and this might skyrocket anytime in the near future. As the world of gambling has a very wide range of participants especially those who also participate in cryptocurrency, plus the excitement that NFT brings to the community, then there is a big chance that this will hit off and new projects will arise.

But we also have to understand that we need to not just find one hit wonder projects because long-term should be the goal in the first place although now there's more devs that are doing this, aiming for the long-term with their NFTs like Axie Infinity.

There are truly a lot of people that are in the gambling industry that's dealing with crypto so these ideas are also to keep up what's with the date. And that's why new projects are being launched and try to look at that perspective that they should also get onto the NFT craze.
The excitement and said profitability is being combined that making it look so interesting but still unknown what's with it in the future that's why we really have to wait and be observant.

I would like to agree with the point of the long term goal but very few of the current projects are worth investing for a long term.
Most of the other projects are just like a pump and dump scheme since they get the initial pump but then people start dumping them.
It feels like the ICO era is back but just in a different way. This time it's the NFTs that are in place of the ICOs.

Metaverse is gaining more and more traction over the cryptocurrency industry by the day. Who can say that in few years they'd absolutely dominate the scene much like how Decentralized Finance did and now NFTs? Considering how Metaverse is much more promising and would have a wider range of applications not only in the cryptocurrency sector but as well as the real world side of things? There's just so many opportunities over this simple feature that you can explore not only in the gambling scene but many others. Metaverse is still in its infancy stage. Not many people see it for what its worth because of the fact that NFT games have basically become the staple partner and equivalence when someone says Metaverse. This will hopefully change soon as more and more people are informed as to what it really is. Nevertheless there is a lot of opportunities to be found not only in the cryptocurrency and gambling side of the spectrum when it comes to the Metaverse. it's literally a boundless world of possibilities that you otherwise you wouldn't be able to achieve with other booming crypto crazes, both past and present.

But looking at the perspective that many will be attracted to it, there will be the common investors and players that will be into it due to the hype.

Still, it will have those real players that are really into the game and hooked with it.

Metaverse vs gambling? I think they can both work in my honest opinion, I love them both, it's not like any is a threat to the other, absolutely no, they can both co-exist because they are both unique in several ways, most part of gambling most times relies how luck to win, but metaverse from my experience so far relies mostly on skill, without good skill and tactics, it's pretty hard to win a fight/game in metaverse.
And speaking of individual choice, like I said before, I like them both, but I like metaverse much more than I love gambling.

Expect the hype to came since for sure many will be interested to know on what's going on in the net since this is the new trend right now and for sure they will get a benefit to change their lives once they go on the correct project since there are so many promising NFT games right now exist on crypto world and this will be a good start for those people who doesn't know about crypto since they will be aware thru this that crypto exist and I think this could give benefit as a whole.

And for gambling scene for sure this one will be a good addition to the market knowing how big the NFT community and this will be interesting innovation on gambling scene if this will really happen.

If you read the whole context in the OP including the link provided you would realize it's not "metaverse VS. gambling."
What the OP means in the unity of metaverse and gambling in one place.
If You're not aware, there is already a game from DG.
https://youtu.be/NnioWxtgYHY (https://youtu.be/NnioWxtgYHY)
video not mine.
So, there's no need for the long explanation how these both metaverse and gambling perfectly works together.
And I can say, it's a perfect place for the people who loves online games and gamble at the same time.

You should wait for someone to have full details and explanation about the games, not those who promote it in youtube where those influencers are also their investors. Just like these few months ago where the NFT games are popular and there are lots of investors who are attracted to it until they know the full intentions of the developers where most of them are only finding opportunities to rug pull and let the new investors suffer. These guys just let you invest in their games without conscience you might think that you get some high amount of cash but in reality, you only wasting your time and money especially when you invested late into the game.

Wow, so sorry, I read the whole content for sure but I guess I totally misunderstood what the op actually meant, thank you very much for bringing this to my knowledge.

Then this is sure a wonderful combination which will sure be very big if well implemented, this also falls in line with my previous comment even though it was from a different perspective due to my misunderstanding what the op meant, metaverse and gambling coming together will be very big, this is because gambling is already  a big industry on its own, metaverse is just coming up and very promising too, a company merging this two together like DG is currently doing will be parabolic in my opinion.

I agree.

That's why investing to an NFT is only good if you're an early adopter, because as the months passing by, for sure they will just downgrade the features like the amount of NFT you earn per battle while increasing the difficulty or gas fee (if there is) also while their token is suffering from oversupply that's why the price is rocketing down. It's really like ponzi schemes, it's all about how fast you are on using their service and then pull out, because if you're late, your funds are screwed.

It's not versus but 'x' which is commonly used these days as collaboration. And with that, the collaboration of metaverse and gambling, and we're already seeing the thing lately.

It's not about its difference but a collaboration that many developers are doing that adds features to their projects and this is really likely to be seen. I think many are optimistic about this idea.

Well we shouldn't rely on the details given of another person, although its quite helpful since we can make it as a basis but we also need to do our own research to find out if the given feedback about that give is true or not but even if how good the project we are going in we should never go all in since we never know when they will do a rug pull and for this compounding is much better so that we will not get huge damage once dev starting to pull out unto their project.

As I said, I highly doubt that people will accept Metaverses at this stage.

It's way too early. The infrastructure around a lot of these metaverses are incomplete and game mechanics are too complex to understand properly.

Will you bother to learn so much about a metaverse just to bet $5? Or would you just put $5 on roulette on Roobet...

Fair, but that doesn't mean that there won't be a market for it. I'd reckon it would have its own fair share of the market if done well, after all, anything would become popular as long as the core concept is followed and the idea itself was executed properly. Besides, it's a step towards something, I'd rather test something that would give me something new rather than stay still, not that I'm saying that the current idea of putting the $5 on the roulette is bad, but rather since we're looking for something new, why not try it out no?

The same thing was once said about computers, the Internet, and e-commerce. But today these technologies are no surprise, because we use them every day. Metaverse will not be limited to one thing as for example gambling but will give users a wide range of entertainment and leisure. Take a look at how many users congregate in The Sandbox every day and you'll see the future. Rumor has it that Mark Zuckerberg is developing his own metaverse. I don't think he's going to invest his money in unpromising projects.

It's not important if people will accept it or not. As long as the development for such metaverse gambling project looks good and viable, people will turn in to it.

This argument is valid but we do have differences in terms of taste and test.

As long as the idea would benefit others, it is OK. The issue here is that some individuals have a difficult time accepting new technologies since they prefer the traditional way. They are not open to new ideas and continue to undervalue such fresh meta in this industry. If these people are not interested in these new innovations, then claiming that they are worthless is nonsensical because you are only presenting your own personal opinion while overlooking other people's positive interest in this innovation.

Innovation and progress cant really be avoided or an inevitable thing and of course each people do have different impressions and views thats why we cant really force them on what we do want for them to be.

For now then it would still act up for people to observe whether they would be considering it or would stick out on traditional things that we've been used to.

We do have our own choice and preference thats why it isnt surprising these kind of views.

@OP, why not? NFTs are everywhere in talks nowadays and I believe that this will cause a huge expedition to take place in the world of NFTs and bring a new revolution. I was also thinking about this that some well-known players buy high quality 3D NFTs which can be used in a game that allows those NFTs to move. Games like virtual football, tennis, cricket and all where gamblers can predict the winners as well as scores same as we do in sportbooks and gamble their money. I hope this too becomes a reality very soon.

You are right and I think NFT talks will be up here for the long term. The trend is different compare to what we see in ICO and DEFI on which only lasted several months until they are now totally forgotten. NFT related games with the touch crypto are now in trend and almost a new game can already hit lots of players as long as it was seen good in development.

You are right and it's risky. There are lots of games that are considered rug pull now after having a good run on their early days. Research can't save us but at least we can know if we are in the right project by following deeply their development and how they are approaching any questions from the community.

The same as how we choose other coins, research should be done seriously.

It can create a new opportunity and if you can create good contents for Metaverse you will attract game lovers and there is no doubt about that. The most important aspect should be, the price in which you are spending to play should be minimum. I am not going to pay $10 every time i play, we just need to rethink that and if there is a good game and if it is fair with the amount of money you spend then it can be a success and in the future expect more companies to experiment in that aspect.

TBH, DeFi had limited usage where only staking, pools and loans were mostly considered, but with the amount of scams that took place in the name of DeFi, it was easy for the NFT market to take off and make its way to the moon by having some real games available to its players for playing. To me, NFTs are a huge gamble but with huge benefits to the early birds, so till this market matures, you have extreme possibilities available to make good amount of money by using metaverse in your advantage. Gaming and gambling industry both will see a huge spike because gamers love to play and when they will gain through the latest P2E games, why won't they invest some bucks while getting huge returns?

Do you think NFT market has less scams? It's just that these scams are not unfolded yet. It's a money laundering heaven in reality and I wouldn't get shocked if we discover that NFT was originally formulated for money laundering only!

NFT games are no less here! I havebeen playing few NFT games since last few months and I found that it's quite easy to launder money using NFT games as well. Otherwise a digital piece of ahit wouldn't have sold for millions.

Lol, I agree with you but partially, so let me FTFY here. NFTs are "a part" of a money laundering heaven we call as "cryptocurrencies", and I need not to prove that if a person wants to, he/she can easily ditch these agencies and quietly transact under their nose without even giving them a hint. I mean, if you're calling out almost everything a scam here, then the root cause will come out to be cryptocurrencies itself behind all this, right?

Yeah, even I used to think the way you do when I saw that NFT selling for millions, but hey, he was from our own country India who spent those millions on that NFT and also gave an interview (which means he went public and didn't remain anonymous), where's money laundering here? Anyways, even if it's a way to launder money, I believe this is helping some people who live in a class between poor and middle class, a class you can't justify as poor or middle class because these people have the basic things available but still can't live an easy life and NFTs are giving them a chance through various ways like IGOs and IDOs (of their gaming or whatever platforms), staking them, trading them, etc.

You're right, both in terms of the Metaverse program and with the current mix of NFT, Games and hype that is hard to categorize individually. As long as the Metaverse has its market they can trade and take profit means they are operating in the market they should be. Play to Earn is indeed in the spotlight to include many types of gambling, but so far it still doesn't really show how the two have a fairly transparent relationship.

To me this theory is more than just a theory and the way I see it with so many play-to-earn games, Metaverse could soon become a real competitor to online gaming.

The range of activities available in Metaverses just keeps on adding up with social aspects, employment prospective and in-game earning as well as collectables.

Sure there's some aspects of this present in casinos but this will be the next thing... Do you lot think otherwise, it would be nice to hear your opinions.

there are stages of acceptance, let's say
so people won't enter the metaverse to gamble 5 usd, probably
but at first will enter for other reasons and then find out that there's also gambling and develop from there

have you seen the adoption curve for technologies?
we're still early for bitcoin but have left first stages
metaverse technologies are way earlier

Metaverse is well linked to NTFs and crypto in general. I think that there are many complementary technologies that can make on-line gaming a much more enjoyable experience, for example mixing "second life" style metaverses with competition for NFT that can potentially be traded and all that with a number of casino and ability games imbedded into the metaverse. This looks a bit futuristic, but I think we are heading there.

yes, we are definitely going this way
add play to earn to the mix
NFTs changed everything in terms of ownership of unique digital assets
curious to see how this will develop

there's also the theme of interoperability between metaverses, we're gonna have many different worlds but having ways to travel seamlessly between then is also something to pay attention too, integration of differences metaverses forming a multiverse

Nfts are already on-trend now. The entertainment that they provide as well as the huge profit that players could earn hooked lots of people. More NFT games are now building up a good foundation and their number is too surprising. Even gamblers have switched to it especially those who are seeking enjoyment while earning.

There's no doubt if items in popular games like Dota 2 and Pokemons were to become NFTs, the world of metaverse will insanely increase and will create another huge hype that will make the gaming industry reach the top again. But right now, all we have are a few legit games and more games are fraud especially those who don't have any stories just to click and hit for money. Cryptoblade and other NFT games like it.

There could be hype at the start which is the basics of any game. But in the long run, they won't be the same and a lot of changes will be made by the developers to experiment and sustain the game itself.

And that's why everyone who has an experience with those hit and miss NFT games will be careful and those peak investors too. They'll do their research first and won't buy because of the hype.

Hard to make out some integrations of NFT trend to be adopted and applied into those traditional or famous games at the moment and also Steam had banned out blockchain games
https://hypebeast.com/2021/10/valve-steam-blockchain-nft-games-ban-policy-info
https://gadgets.ndtv.com/cryptocurrency/news/cryptocurrency-valve-bans-nft-games-steam-blockchain-epic-games-2579127

Which means that there would really be still blockage in overall adoption and recognition.

I have read one article talking about metaverse and one of the person who have the interest about this new feature is Mark Zuckerberg, this man has a huge imagination about metaverse and wanted people to see the Facebook platform from primarily a social media company to a Metaverse company. Reading the article made me realize the big opportunity that it can be in the future and maybe this would be a great platform too to combine in gambling industry, well I just think about it though.

https://www.theverge.com/22588022/mark-zuckerberg-facebook-ceo-metaverse-interview

Please don't. I'd rather the NFT market create their own unique stylized game rather than these old games of ours to adopt the NFT system to what they have right now. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against NFT games and have been playing it for quite some time now, but I'd really rather have a unique system in itself so that I can actually be pretty hyped to enjoy the game. Plus, I don't think the system of a MOBA would apply itself well to NFT types, Pokemon maybe but Dota? I don't tihnk so.

Actually it is possible, but boring in my opinion. Imagine playing DOTA 2 that last 30 minutes up to an hour per game and win a reward (for the winner) and lose your time, effort, and get your mmr deducted per loss. So it is really fun if it is a new game, but what's happening is that all other NFTs after the old ones are just imitating the old ones. Besides, other new NFTs are just garbage because after a few weeks or months, they'll just gonna go for a rug pull.

This guy is thirsty for power and his imagination has no limits when trying to find new strategies to centralize things that should work in a decentralized way. It's painful enough to be a Facebook user nowadays, as the platform wants you to agree with several new terms they create every few months, without mentioning the constant attempts in collecting users' data, probably to resell to someone else.
It makes me think games launched by Zuckerberg would follow the same annoying methodology, while giving this man more power and influence yet. That is very dangerous in my opinion and I think there is so much potential and professional independent companies or developers working on projects for future Metaverse games that his "help" isn't needed at all.

when China banned bitcoin what happened to hashrate?
just got more descentralized

Steam is just lacking longterm vision and will see this was a really bad decision, if they don't embrace NFTs this will just give more space for competitor who do grow more than them

have you seen this tweet by Sky Mavis?
https://twitter.com/SkyMavisHQ/status/1449146813341061125?s=20

As I understand the NFT sphere is currently in its infancy and has great prospects for further development. I think that NFT can find very successful applications in game industry, especially in multiplayer RPG games. Naturally, the demand for NFT will fall, but only for those which have no real use or do not bring any benefit to the owner.

We cant really make some conclusions yet if this trend would gonna fall or make even more progress in more future years to come because no man could able to know on what future holds and we know that

everything would really vary on demand which means if this one would continue then for sure it would be staying for a while.We cant really deny about into its potential and real use case.

It had been applied on gaming industry and people might really looked this one to be some sort of revolutionary or something like that.

NFT can grow more in the future if the developer can think more about what they should do to attract more investors or people to invest in their project. We will see when the NFT will grow in the game industry.

But maybe the NFT trend will reduce for a while as we know that the trend in crypto will always change from time to time. But some NFT can continue their project and get more attention from people.

If there are more real tech or innovation towards the gaming industry for sure we can see a huge growth of NFT's since for sure the Game dev will adopt those changes since its quite huge profit for them to join on the scene, But if the scamming continues towards this then we might see this NFT hype fade out since many investors will go away due to the scams happened on this category and for sure it will became an ICO like scheme where it fades out if we see many scammers joining and scam people on purpose.

There is no other way of having the full casino experience without these innovative advancements, especially with online casinos being the prime platform nowadays. And I can see that many players are very delighted with NFT.

NFT is one of the most common thing into our crypto world there are people would like to be involved because they know the potential of this to earn profit. Of course, there's a scam platform that they give a hype as for recently one of the most successful is the NFT art so you can collect and sell your assets. Also another one of the NFT games which is the top is the axie infinity, pvu and more due to this hype there are some people who want to scam other people with their fake projects.

Poker even without any "Metaverse" is play-to-earn game  ;D And i can't see how "metaverse" will help poker. It's good without anything excess, just a good game itself. Maybe only if we are talking about some awesome visual enhancements, animated cards or something like that. In that case it would be at least interesting and uncommon so some we would see some boost of players, yes.

well, demand varies, like weaves
but I also think the industry is in its early stages and we'll see a lot more adoption coming including AAA 3d games and all
high chances that the top games in the world in about 10 years (or less) will include some kind of integration with NFTs and descentralized ownership, even if its not the core, it'll be present somehow.

^  If you guys follow Dota (I don’t, but I got a friend who bets on the Dota matches), there are items in the game that players use as stakes for betting against each other.  I can’t see how in game NFT’s can’t be the same and be used to move value around just like most of the stuff in crypto.

I don't know about the metaverse, but it seems like NFT's are still all the rage at the moment and at some point there will be a gambling market that opens up which accepts them. I saw Facebook has been in the news lately talking about establishing their own version that will take many years to build. It will probably blow away any current providers so be careful where you park your money right now as it might become obsolete if the biggest players become involved. I think Facebook want to take it to the level of having a virtual reality world that you can "move" about inside and interact with, it's starting to sound a bit Matrix-like and let's hope it doesn't turn humanity into mindless zombies thinking they are exploring from their couch.

I watched some polls on how do people think can NFT change the lives of everyone and was shocked to see that 75% selected that 'it is a bubble and will burst soon', while a very few people selected that 'it is a great discovery in the metaverse and can make huge changes to the world of digital art by using it in different jobs'. Nobody understand the use of NFTs like they did with bitcoin in its early stage, now everybody is going fomo to buy it at such high values.

In some gambling games it can be used, yes. But not in poker. Or, how do you see it? "With this NFT monster hands AA and KK will happen 10 % more often for you", eh?  ;D
I think, as i said above, NFT in poker can be used like decorative thing rather than practical.
Or maybe you mean something else?

Maybe that time will come to us, whereas we will see another innovation in the NFT field regarding attracting more gamers or investors to invest in their project. The moment for NFT is at the right time to happen this year as many people are still at their home and some of them are bored do not know what they should do. The NFT game offers them fell different experience from what they already did with their favourite game. So even the NFT hype fade out, that will not be directly gone so soon because as long as many people still use the games to play, these trends can still be beside us. And we can use that to our own benefit.

the game balance is something to always have in mind
I agree that an NFT shouldn't turn the game into pay 2 win but there are implementations from cosmetics / skins to "cutting the line" and having access to higher tier championships
to more applications and can't even think about yet

Probably both things will happen
new games with mechanics we have no idea about yet
and implementation of NFTs on old-school stuff

the beauty of open source standards and permissionless technology

They think that way its because this is the trend now and mostly the trend the same as before burst out like bubble that's why many of the investors nor forum users here think about that its a bubble and will go the same with other projects who became trend first which suddenly fade out. That's why we should see how this NFT craze ends since we know if we look at the brighter picture this is really a great discovery since it compensate the gamblers by playing some good games available today.

if you read a lot about crypto and talk with people about it everyday its easy to forget that it's still in its early stages

they'll see.

this reminds me of 2 tweets I saw today:

by @Luke360 (https://twitter.com/Luke360/status/1453039647978704905?s=20)

and
On Real Estate thread by @punk6529 (https://twitter.com/punk6529/status/1452797543478448129?s=20)

it starts like that and it goes on for about 40 tweets afterwards:

worth a follow

It is normal to see a crowd thinking that a huge market that just gotten lately is a bubble. Just like in the past years of bitcoin, there were a lot of speculations that have said that it's bubble not until they see every cycle a new all time high.

They'll realize that NFT is another thing that they can be crazy for just like bitcoin but not all of them are good to be bought. You have to be picky with the NFTs you invest even it involves gambling.

Under this argument you could say that cell phones do not have a future because 99% of the users do not know how to change an internal battery, they do not understand radiofrequency and are not familiar with HTML5.

That is not how it works, if something came clear from the 2000's internet revolution is that you just need to make things simpler and more accessible. Also, people become wiser as time passes and they adopt technologies because it offers them good value.

I have to disagree here, the first tweet doesn't talk about learning the technical side of it, but learning to use it.

imagine going back in time before smartphones were a thing
we could say in 1998 that computers had similar problems:

• not mobile enough
• Setup is complicated
• 99% + of the worlds population doesn’t use the internet yet

so forth and so on.

now go and shop at amazon
in one click you buy something

imagine this experience with NFTs, cross chain blockchains and trading.

Metaverse is promising because it is comprised of both virtual and augmented reality that seems appealing to most players that are into entertainment and gambling. Indeed, it could be the next good and big thing in the crypto industry aside from the NFT's that made their way to boom and be widely played because of its play-to-earn feature. The digital universe in metaverse could be the breath of fresh air in the gambling industry because the players could get to live and feel what it is like to be in the game itself. Because this is still new, it is really advisable to research and do our very own background checking first if it is worth the risk. By proper searching, we may be able to utilize it as early as now that it is just in its early phase and be a pioneer. Still, do it at your own risk to avoid regrets later since not everything that trends would be profitable in the long run.

In my opinion, the metaverse was born a long time ago around the time when the first text message was transmitted via Internet and it keeps getting wider and wider every year as new technologies are introduced in online communication process and now we interact in the metaverse which is huge and inseparable. Internet and cryptocurrencies gave a huge breakthrough in this direction and big companies such as Facebook are just trying to earn on this by offering their users the use of new technologies such as AR, VR.

I agree with your opinion that if we look at the definition of the metaverse itself, it is a virtual world created on the internet and can be explored where users are not in the same physical space and even though they are far away they can communicate with each other.
what distinguishes then and now is because in the past the technology was not as advanced as it is now and they sent messages on the internet etc. it was the most advanced in its time.
But now the metaverse has evolved to something more refined with them being able to create tools that can create avatar characters and we can explore deeper either with VR or other advanced tools.

Technology does progress and these kind of innovations or inventions is something revolutionary.It might sound unrealistic on some point but doesnt mean that it cant be possible and now we are really seeing this which would be something that the community would really benefit upon which we could really utilize which is a great thing
and does really have that potential and lets see on regarding with future updates to come.

AT this point "metaverse" is just a buzzword.It sounds cool and revolutionary,but 80% of the people don't know what it means or how it will look like.
I don't know what will make metaverse gambling better than the regular online gambling.
Maybe gambling will become more decentralized and the gamblers won't have to rely on centralized crypto/fiat casinos in order to gamble.The gamblers will own their chips/tokens and gambling will become more peer-to-peer.Casinos might become obsolete.I don't know whether this is going to be good or bad for the gambling industry.
All the casino owners won't be happy.
Combining play-to-earn games with gambling might seems like a good idea,but I still can't see a clear and precise business model around this idea.

There is not and will not be any clear business model for the metaverse as each developer develops his project and strives to attract users to his platform. It is an endless race, so to speak, fueled by new technologies and users' personal time. A person who values his time will most likely not use the metaverse in the way Mark Zuckerberg offers us.

At this point really it's just a vague idea of gambling that "might" be better than regular gambling (though honestly I agree with you, not knowing anything about how it would make it better than normal gambling). If it was decentralized we're looking for, I don't think the word metaverse suits it as something to describe what it would be. I don't even think the concept of gambling would be messed/replaced/changed with tbh, the core would still be that and they'd just be adding some side features here and there.

I think is coming real soon. In fact unless the platforms that develop the metaverses actually ban users, it is only natural that games flow into the metaverses as well as competitions, and with that the need to make them "more interesting", so whether it is officially or by means of other creating overlays to circumvent the likely bans, betting is going to happen. Heck, this is even a business model that could be a new ground for start-ups.

For those who doubt, metaverses are already there, Second life, Roblox and even games - well known ones like Fortnite - are metaverses.

Yes they already existed and for the gambling to take part in it would just be a matter of time for the startups. Doubts are part of a growing industry and this has been proven many times but if Metaverse really make an impact I think it will be successful, we are totally getting digital and we can't deny this fact. Zuckerberg's promoting was just part of an incoming snowball effect, that's my two cents.

So far as of now all I know that was associated with metaverse were mostly virtual reality and games, I haven't heard about gambling related in metaverse yet but if ever it would be available I could already imagine how it would greatly affect in development of gambling experience from a traditional gambling that we had experience. So to be able to catch up the metaverse in as early as I can I already invested in one of the metaverse project I've known and yeah as we can see it is now already existed and as I can see metaverse will going to bring a new development to the digital platform.

It's viable, for example, as an NFT-based gambling platform that incorporates virtual reality; it's a really optimistic platform. Because it's metaverse, this may be another game-changer. Of course, a new development equals a new meta, which means more users in the industry. Every metaverse project is now bullish, thus if a gaming site integrates with metaverse, it will be noticed by metaverse project investors.

But there is an interesting question,

Anyone thought that we will be buying things online without actual touch and feel but now it becomes reality.

Have you every wondered we used to interact with our mobiles than real people but now it becomes reality.

And the examples can be endless as well, so we actually don't know either we are forced to accept the new changes brought by the influencers or we are actually evolving in that sense. ::)

They've been there for a long time. Remember those RPG games during early 2000s, it's already a metaverse and virtual life that we've lived when we were younger.
It's just that the technology is way better today and we can mostly interact without portraying by any character and we're the ones to represent ourselves. That's almost everything can be brought up and we can interact in metaverse and it includes gambling too.

It seems inevitable now that Facebook, the largest social media company in the world is going to build out their own "metaverse" which is basically going to turn into one big virtual reality grand theft auto time environment on steroids. Facebook was always looking for a solid way to make money and advertising brings some money in, but it's not like Google that has a huge income stream for little outlay. I wouldn't think much of these smaller companies that claim to be launching the latest and greatest metaverse products, they are simply going after the buzz words of the minute to sell some product - it'll be one of the big players like Google, Amazon, Facebook or Microsoft that create the world in which all these other gaming companies will reside - they'll play by someone elses rules and pay a commission for the privilege.

The important point is that I will not discuss whether it is realistic or not, but it is the profit aspect that will have an effect.
no matter how realistic the metaverse is what matters is that it can be put to good use by humans who want to put it to good use that's what's most important to me.

On the other hand, utilization like this must be accompanied by the desire of humans themselves because technology is getting more advanced when we can't compete there so sooner or later we will be behind in technology.
