What does it take for a game to "hook" people

[paxmao]

It all comes down to the user interface for me,if am going to place some bets on a sportsbook and its difficult to navigate around or find the markets I desire then I wouldn't force myself to play on such a platform.

Sometimes it's about the competitions such as wagering contests or jackpots, these are highly likely to keep players hooked till they find themselves in contention for a prize and btw these are extremely competitive if the house has a big community.

Mostly it used to be like that for me till I realized that many good ponies I donated to had visuals and which gave a good visual sensation for me to trust them, how wrong I was when I think of it.
But there are good Sportsbet companies that care about visuals in comparison to the system.
Mostly new people who are into gambling are always attracted by the visuals and think if the site is so beautifully created then why would it scam me.

To be honest, the graphic interfaces and in general the user control experience over the games are rarely as good as in other aspects of software. Productivity tools have become more simplified while retaining their original depth for users that require so, gaming has gone beyond anything imaginable just a few years ago in graphics, design and scripts, going into metaverse. However betting has not advanced much. It seems that the industry is reluctant to create something that is radically different.

I see your point with same risk and indeed, lottery is the old-fashioned ways but this NFT's games where more people are engaged right now.
It's the new way to hook the attentions and bring more money to this business.

From the concept offered and the existing business model between lottery and NFT, I think it's very different. one sells dreams. the other provides certainty.
the "hook" system in nft is in the certainty of the benefits. The financial ecosystem they have built makes it a plus point to attract new users.

Casinos do make gambling systems profitable for their owners, then there are many ways that casinos do for gamblers to last longer in gambling.
I, as a gambler, have realized from the start that the chances of beating the casino are very unlikely, so I have to limit myself when playing gambling,
so as not to overdo it and become addicted. With a higher percentage of casino wins than gamblers, we must be careful when playing gambling.
We must remember that playing gambling should only be for entertainment, so when we experience defeat in gambling, there is no need to chase
our defeat.

On the other hand, sometimes one can get lucky with bonuses. As many might already know, with different bonuses from casinos comes a rollover requirement, initially aimed at gamblers losing what they won. But sometimes it turns out the other way around and players actually end up winning even more after rolling twice or triple the amount they were given. But that’s only luck.

Apart from that, remember that though you can’t beat the casino, you can beat other players in it with P2P and skill based games. But that, of course, requires experience.

In most cases the rollover requirements are a joke. In addition to that you can get your real money stuck because that is what you often play first for. Then when it is gone you are left with rollover requirements that make it impossible to gain anything. The one bonus I really liked was the one from bet365. I haven't played on their site for a long time, but I remember that it was quite fair. Do you know of any crypto accepting casino with decent rollover requirements?

I am asking this because I do have some short of an answer for videogames and for massive multiplayer games and even for social network oriented games. Videogames require a great design, good difficulty grading, an story that engages the user, massive multiplayer and network oriented are a lot about the interactions and how varied and fun these are. However, for casino games, it would seem that these factors are not really the most important ones. You can see games with very basic graphics and design, simple in the options for the player and not that engaging yet they do "hook" people in them.
What do these games have to have for you?

Many gamers are lured into profit because we have to admit we love to get paid on something we love doing more than for the sake of playing, look at the recently launched Play to earn game MyDefiPet, they have a bland design but there are hundreds of thousands of players because these people are promised a play to earn feature, int his pandemic times we need to make money, and so many people find it here on this new trend which is play to earn.

The play-to-earn games are now getting the interest of gamers. Remember before, they are just playing for nothing, I mean, playing all day long but no income instead they are spending money just to play without getting any return. That's why these play-to-earn platforms are gaining interest because the players are hoping to get income afterwards, which a lot of us need during this crisis. So why not enjoy the game while potentially earn something. And that will really hook these players to this gaming platform.

Well, NFT games are the latest innovative way to earn money similar to gambling games but there's a bit difference. Before you can play NFT games you need to invest first on their tokens, we know choosing and investing on projects are not easy because there's a tendency that it might turn as scam.

One thing that can hook a gambler to stay on the game is the fact that you enjoy it and has a chance to earn while playing thats why these NFT games are the new trend. It might not a traditional gambling games that we know but its an interesting one and not purely rely on luck because skills are a must too.

It's not surprising me per-se to see these NFT games gain enough traction now because NFTs are all the rage these days and the market is constantly growing. If there's something I've learnt from the crypto space, it's the fact that people will always be chasing the trend. It happened with ICOs, other token sale mechanism and these game developers know and took advantage to it.

At the fundamental level, just build a game that is fun and interactive with a superb user experience and enterprise grade UI, you should be on your way to hosting thousands or even millions of gamers and gamblers.

No and I think one reason is that collectibles always have been a thing. Why would anyone buy Pokemon, or any other collectible. The only difference now that it is digital, but thinking about that I remember that people were trading items for example from World of Warcraft all the time. So if you look at it from that perspective, NFT, especiall those that also have in game use cases, are the perfect answer to the imperfect market that were present during the older times with World of Warcraft. Here is everything is all set, transfers are being made on blockchain and you don't even need to communicate back and forth if someone wants to sell an ingame item for instance.

That concept now is booming and succeed to get attention from people but we do not know if that will work for a long time. But the lottery is one popular gambling game that will always be available in gambling games. Many people become fans of that game and are willing to spend time and money to hit the jackpot. People buy the ticket with some money and they are not thinking too much about the price because the price itself is not too expensive. That is why many people like to buy many tickets, hold them, and wait for their number to come out. But the fact is their number will not always come out as the winner. So the easiness, a cheap price, and not having a complicated of playing gambling will hook people to stay at that casino.

It is the new and becoming common game today. Although there's no gamble on it but rather than risk because it is an investment. We cannot refuse that many have been hooked to this game.
We're investing money on it and although it's different from being hooked in gambling, the same sensations happens for both players, investors and gamblers.

I saw some news about these play to earn platforms too. But are they really reliable? The world is full of gamers and while many just play to relax after work or on the weekend, many of us gamers wouldn't mind to earn some money in the meantime. I can understand that a company would pay for positive reviews or is watching ads. But will this really be a long term business model? I am always afraid to do things and in the end not get paid.

So far, we can say that only a few of these p2e are good enough. We don't know what's with the future for these games and it's also like gambling as you take the risk.
But those who have been on it are already earning so if someone gets hook on it, still DYOR.

Well, if we are talking about poker in the form of playing on a slot machine, then I do not see any problem in this. This is a wretched game I hardly believe that it will be missed even if it completely disappears. I remember how I played such a game (about 20 years ago lol), the essence of the game was that the machine randomly gave you cards and you could either take the win (if you had any combination and profit was minimal) or try to double it (several times in a row). "Funny" gameplay.

Yeah, I used to play this game too in the past, but I'd found it less interesting than most of the slots, and surely much less interesting, incomparably even, than real poker.

Maybe Video Poker used to be a good game at the time it was invented, in the mid-1970s, and couple of decades after that, but today, with so many competitors in the form of contemporary slots, there's nothing in the game to hook people to it.

In the future, interest in poker will revive.

This will be associated with the development of virtual reality. People will play with each other not offline, but in virtual reality (through their avatars). At the same time, the game will not differ for the worse from offline poker.

Vice versa! It will be much more interesting!

Various locations can be selected.

The elven city of Rivendale from the Lord of the Rings universe ... Pirate tavern Spyglass from the novel by writer Robert Stevenson ... Living room of the French king Louis XIV ... Space station from the Star Wars universe ... Green meadow in Sherwood Forest during the time of Robin Hood and Richard  Lionheart ... Throne room of the legendary English King Arthur ...

If that can apply in gambling games, people will want to stay for a long time because they will see different views or interfaces when they play them. At the same time, offline poker can transform into online poker as we already knew and will grow from time to time. With the help of the technology, all interesting ideas from the developer will implement into the online poker game, which can give the gambler a new experience. They will feel that the transformation from offline poker to online poker is very good.

But to be honest offline poker has its advantages too. It is fun to be sitting at the table with real people and a real dealer in a nice location. Everything will be transforming essentially due to virtual reality, or augmented reality, but I doubt hot spots like Las Vegas will have any trouble getting their hotels rented out. It will always remain a particular experience to a certain degree.

Virtual Reality in gaming is already a thing. We have quite a few games that support virtual reality.
Things are still in the initial stage and with time these games will have improvised a lot so that users can get the real feel of themselves playing in the game while being at their own place.
I think even other gambling games would have virtual reality at some point so that users could get a real feel of gambling casino from their home.

With the unstoppable technology and the bright minds of those developers, this can be done with online gambling.

For most gamblers who love exploring this kind of setup will gain their interest. Imagine you can use those settings and enjoy playing pokers against other gamblers by virtual setup.

No doubts that once it's available and introduce there are interest that will keep playing using this idea.

Without a doubt the interface and how easy it is to use is a very important factor when it comes for people to be comfortable with a particular gambling website, but I will admit that I am willing to sacrifice some of that as long as I can get better odds, after all at the end of the day I want to get my entertainment and I want to get it with the cheapest investment possible and if for that I need to sacrifice an intuitive interface then I am willing to do it.
