[SPECULATION] Next big thing in online gambling?

[Deuceisgood]

Augur prediction market is going to launch in Beta in just a few weeks - think Intrade but decentralized with cryptocurrency. Going to be exciting I think, and open up all types of possibilities along the lines of gambling on most anything.

I believe the concept of having gambling enabled in video games could be a big thing. Instead of gambling it would be more along the lines of PvP, but it hasn't been explored before because of payment processors and not every game developer could add it. But with bitcoin, I am sure it is much easier and convenient. Probably we will have something like that soon.

there is the game Dragon's Tale contains dozens of gamble game

I want to believe that skill-based games will be a new thing, but it seems like they won't be a big thing because there will always be someone who will have more of an edge. It seems like luck is the main thing gamblers want to see.

I think the next thing in online gambling, however, will most likely be fancier slot/dice machines, or we might see thing like coin pushers become a thing, even though that is far harder to do than is probably worth it.

As it currently stands, the Bitcoin gambling scene is fairly saturated with basic sites, and it'll take someone making something flashier to convince anyone to switch whatever site they're comfortable with.

For skill based gambling games to work you'd need some popular network that hosts different kinds of games.
Something like what Pokerstars is for online poker.

I guess poker and BJ are the skill based games...some company tried to have a live feed showing your face and the other players faces in real time (webcam-based online tables — called “Infinivision) but I don't think it got a lot of traction and the site closed up.

That literally is not a feature that anyone is probably looking for. + No ones interested in showing their face online only for a game, specially for bj.
No wonder they closed.

There not much gambling ideas nowadays as all has been done. but maybe developers should at least consider looking at gambler vs gambler website to which the house just act as an escrow and will only take certain amount as fees.  I really do hope someone will create such site, I belive I have mentioned this before as I don't want to bet on odds.

What kind of gambler vs gambler game is possible anyway? Isn't this concept really what gambling is, you pick a side and bet at it, if you win you get your money at the expense of another gambler betting on the losing side.

All I can think about are skill games, like chess?

Chess is just one, I do play such but I feel like I'm not that good anymore. Not even close to winning a chess game playing with a kid.
Boxing or MMA match is a good one to which we don't bet against the house. If for instance, we agreed to bet against which athlete will win, our btc will be sent over to the house address and then one of us can receive the whole winnings less the amount for the house who serves as an escrow.

Nope, although with bitcoin pvp game is still hard to attract people because this game will need many people to play. And I think there are no businessman that want open their gambling site just for one short term so this pvp game will not recommend for big thing in online gambling

It won't exactly be PvP . The gambling businesses don't have to take care of it. The game developers and the API developers will be the people splitting the profits from the rakes of the games. Its the volume that will be the major thing to drive this.

Like some people said above that all the ideas have already been implemented..i agree to this,i mean there are many games avaliable to gamble not just dice but the thing is all the games are based on luck and after losing much either people gets bored or they start gambling more and become upset and wonder why they gambled in the first place..I would really appreciate some more skills based games based on bitcoins like Chess,8 ball pool etc so even if people lost they don't become much sad and just need to improve thier skills

how about gamble games from famous movies, books, comics, manga,...

I believe most of those games will anyways be what really exists. They don't just go about creating new games in directing those shows.

That would be pretty neat, but the thing is is that I would think that you would have to run through consoles like Xbox and play station to be able to use their games for gambling... Which would be an obvious headache for legal reasons, not to mention gambling legality.

[aizzaku]

i believe that simpler the game better for the gambler right... something new and complex will need too much coding and scripting ... maybe somewhere along the line lose the probably fair part.. more space for coders to sneak trick gamblers.

Just hope no one implements AI system in gambling or no one will win ever pull out in time.

if someone wants to make something new better form around a proper base. easy to understand as wel..

[FrueGreads]

With all the attention in e-sports, I think that the next big thing on gambling will be to allow to gamble in e-sports much more often. The only thing that can prevent this is the taxes game companies would have to pay to keep this legal, since they would be like casinos, and they probably don't want that.

Yeah honestly I see that being the real problem with games people are wanting, like pinball and other "skill" based games that are in demand on here.  It seems way too complicated for people to check the verification of the script to see if everything is working in a legit manner, or if the person who coded it rig it in a way that, in the example of pinball, the ball will bounce where it wasn't supposed to bounce if the person has a chance at "winning" the game, or something of the sort...

While I want to see more variety in the world of online gambling, people who are going to code some of these games must be willing to write code that someone else who is capable of verifying the whole thing is legit.  I guess in a sense this is way too complicated and unnecessarily needed, plus people will have trouble trusting the game in the first place.

All in all, when you are gambling online, you will always have to either trust the third party, or be willing to check the code the game is written... regardless you have to trust that the third party site is going to be truthful and hold your coins on the site no matter what; money pot is making people feel a little bit easier with all of this though, which is a good thing.

We will probably never see something like that (not in near future with current technical solutions) It will be hard to protect 'skill based' game of that type from cheats.
I imagine there will be bots/scripts created almost right away and there will be really hard to determine - from the server side - if someone is genuinely playing the game or using bot.

i doubt that it can be the next big thing in gambling to be honest not many people watch esports not even talking about gambling. the next big thing will most probably be a new skill based game of some kind

[makingwin1]

i believe that the next big thing will be the games that you can play in teams versus other players or play one on one with others it would be cool to see more of such games as i find it really fun to play
