Metaverse x Gambling

[AicecreaME]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

The NFT is allowing gamblers to use high quality opportunities in the game players with technology were able to seize an opportunity when no one was developing the use of obvious metavers of games. Gamblers around the world can now enjoy their favorite casino games without worrying about privacy issues or unjustly controlling their activity. Online casinos were almost popular until the internet and with NFT games users can now more fully immerse themselves in a casino experience.

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.

[Peanutswar]

@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.

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.

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.

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?

Poker even without any "Metaverse" is play-to-earn game  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.

Over time, we believe several projects will attempt to deliver play-to-earn architectures. However, due to the state of Decentral Games’ current product and community, DG is in a lucrative position to take advantage of this new wave in gaming with a first-mover advantage. We’ve already built metaverse poker, blackjack, roulette, backgammon, and slots, which are games enjoyed daily by our community through memorable events like live music performances, casino night competitions, poker tournaments, and more.

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.

[johhnyUA]

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? 
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:

Here’s how I know we’re early:

• Practically zero mobile support
• 70%+ users access web via mobile
• Wallets are complicated
• 99% + of the worlds population doesn’t know anything about NFT’s
• 90% + doesn’t use crypto

We’re very very early.

by @Luke360

and
On Real Estate thread by @punk6529

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

You invest in real estate - the largest and most tangible asset class in the world.

You don't believe in any of this NFT mumbo jumbo. 

What you are just buying a token?  The JPG is somewhere else?  What are you even buying?

worth a follow
