Is there still original ideas for innovation in Slot games?

[Hamphser]

The reason why I started this discussion is for us to find ways to "innovate" the Slot development in the industry. Let's agree on something, it is very boring to just push a single button to "bet" or even just to put it on "auto" and just sit there and watch the screen.

A lot can be done to make the Slots interactive and more stimulating for people to want to play it. The introduction of Virtual reality in the casino industry has opened doors for more innovation and we will see a lot more exciting things in 2022. (I hope we will be immersed into these virtual worlds and we will be able to interact more within the games) 

It is mind-numbing to sit in front of a screen and to press a single mouse button or key on a keyboard to watch reels go past.. hoping for a win. 

I closely follow the development of neural interface technology. 

Currently, neurointerfaces are used mainly in medicine. 

However, this is not their only possible application.  This is a revolutionary technology that can change the way slot machines work.  No need to press buttons.  All control in the game will be done by one power of thought.  And it's incredibly impressive! 

Neurointerfaces will make the game of slot machines more interesting and exciting.

Im bit curious with this neurointerface which i did make out some research on what it is all about.

I did read up a pile of context and it seems a really good innovation or add up if ever slots would come into this
point but this would still takes time to develop or something like that.

Honestly speaking, I never cared about the innovative slots and that's what most people do they just roll and loves the UI/UX which js what that is going to bring us the results and if its our lucky day then we might have win streak with actual profits. But slot games are never ending because they are coming up with different graphics in the online world and the best innovation in the future can be virtual experience.

this is really interesting
some games just... works
slots have resisted the test of time and will probably stay around as they are for years to come.
of course there's space for innovation but the classic will remain around

Is there still any real original ideas for Slots? Can someone still develop something new and innovative and how can we (gamblers) give our inputs in the development of what we want in Slots?

Yep, the innovation will be if someone create slot game with expected value more than 0, ha ha

And if try to be serious, you must understand that "innovative slots" needs to keep the main idea of slot game as is (i mean that what differ slots from dice, for example) but give some new mechanics (big priority) or visual effects (low priority).
Maybe idea of the game in which you need to play 3 times to get 3 outcomes and if they will be the same - you win (main idea of slot game still the same)

Well that is exactly right.
There will be nothing to change with the concept of slot games only the design and graphics will change because that is how we determine the game and there should be nothing to change. I remember the question about the game card like playing poker, why the image of the card always has the same symbol, and why not it will not change. So the same as that, the game identify of what it is and mark should be remain.

[dothebeats]

No matter the innovation they employ, the main essence of slots still remains. I honestly don't feel the need for any change on the game as it is, at the end of the day, a game of luck, just like dice. UI/UX perhaps may receive a couple retouches here and there, but ultimately, slots don't need to feel fancy in order to make it interesting and get people hooked.

If, in any way, win% on slots can be altered, that game is no longer slots, but dice with added funky elements.

[delfastTions]

It is really difficult to imagine how you can change the slots, unless of course you take into account the possibilities to diversify the interface. 
However, here in the topic above someone wrote about the possibility of connecting a neural interface.  This is perhaps the only possible major update for the development of next generation slots. 
But then the question of falsification immediately arises.  A certain person will begin to say that he made a bet, but the neural interface did not count it correctly.  Well, how can you argue or prove otherwise.  Yes, it looks like even the USA Supreme Court  will not figure it out.
More, alas, nothing new and innovative comes to mind.

For some reason, slot games don't make all old gamblers tired of things that are often updated with additional features though. Even with the traditional and old fashion slot machines have not lost the interest of the people out there. Obviously this has brought a lot of changes in terms of the types of gambling games in casinos and as a characteristic of all casinos are slot games.

I think it may have been possible to add new changes to slot games like combining two games kind of thing but the problem is what game is it?.

It's difficult to find the right game in slots to combine though as most slots are fundamentally the same so it's just making another variation in slots so I don't see how combining would result in a different kind of slots.

Innovation will never stop, there will be always new idea new innovation in the future. Currently the trend of slot games is what you mentioned in your post but it might be changed in the future both chang back into older type or change into something we have never seen before.

[YOSHIE]

Can someone give us an example of a Slot that introduced something new and innovative in the game dynamics and engine lately? Please mention the game and what was new and innovative.  

Manang if you talk about slot games exactly like what you see today, but as far as I know the slot industry they always do the best in innovation and presenting innovative mechanics that can keep players entertained as much as possible.

They continue to innovate to carry out the latest gameplay mechanics for players, for example: Bonanza Gonzo slot game, Quest Megaways, Big TG, although not new, but the technique of how to play has changed, the slot has hundreds of ways to win, at least that way can show you how to play the latest slots, in my opinion it's also one of the newest features, which is creative.

maybe one thing that still can be changed would be amount of slots or disposition of it like

[X][X][X]
[X][X][X]

having special prizes for 2 lines or combinations of it

but yes, just adding, I don't think this is the game we'll see more innovation in the upcoming years

[Peanutswar]

The slot game is one of the old school gambling equipment we use even though its old we still using this and make innovation on it and they created this digitally and with the use of the programmable slot game there's a chance it might fair slot games to make it into the next level i guess having a Virtual reality and Artificial intelligence might add on this feature because this is the new trend in the technology as for now i didn't see a gambling platform supported VR yet.

Slot games will not lose its fan, and even slot games can attract more new players to playing the gams. With the bonuses given by the casino to the players, that surely will get them playing for longer and even, they will spend more money to gamble. Slot games will be their favorite gambling games and slot games will get more popular because many gambling sites have that game. The innovations from the gambling sites are not much but the casino will offer many things to their players.

[izsara]

Not sure if there is still new innovation that can draw the interest of players.

Perhaps there is one, but still it boils down as how it is going to attract slot players because playing them is just basic, you just have to understand how it works and what is the draw line and what characters will be the bonus for a particular game. So it's hard to reinvent the wheel for slot machines because we have seen them all.

Most players are seeking simplicity and games without too many complications and I guess that's the edge of the slot. Players are contented with it because of the basics of the game. They could make a simple innovation that could make it more exciting but changing the whole game could only make it too complex.

From the start they created a game that was simple and not too complicated to look at and play. and this is what makes them in love.
I personally like this game because of that because it's the simplest thing I've ever played.
apart from losing and winning it is a risk but fun is what keeps me here. Their visuals and their ease of play make me unable to stop playing slots

The game is having  the most simple concept which i could  really not deny that those things you do said were true which is actually on point.They might differ in design
and sound effects but the overall concept or game was just the same and its true that the simplicity of the game which do make it love by most people.
Changes? This would really be a hard question an something that should be answered because not all ideas would really be need to be applied first.

There's no denying this because it seems like everyone who really likes this game feels like it, because it's definitely not just me and you who consider visualization to be the main attraction for fans of this game.
as for the issue of updates and changes I don't think something like this is necessary (for me) because even though they are still using the old way but I really like it

[Wexnident]

I hardly think so. Slots is a pretty basic game with it's simple mechanics and rules, and that's probably why it's one of the most staple games out there that most people play. It's simple, so everyone likes it, kind of like how plants vs zombies and other types of puzzle (or any type of game really) are enjoyed by the vast majority of people. Losing that would most likely branch out the game to a separate type, making it ultimately not a "slot" game anymore imo. Honestly even without change, It won't lose it's fan base, at least not any time sooner imo.

Is there still any real original ideas for Slots? Can someone still develop something new and innovative and how can we (gamblers) give our inputs in the development of what we want in Slots?

Why should gambling houses go for new and innovative ideas for their slot games when just modified graphics itself get them enough revenue? I mean usually gamblers do try a new slot when a new name and new graphics are catching their attentions. Moreover, as per psychological aspects gamblers do get bored of same kind of themes which is the reason houses are going for new graphics rather than getting for new experiences for gamblers. Most gamblers do try a new slot game on their first sight with least bankroll or for one or two rolls which must be more than enough for the houses to generate revenue out of just changing looks of a slot game.

SO, I guess there will be less possibilities for houses to go for innovations with slot games as long as gamblers just do try slots whenever they see a new look.

oh, interesting
this will definitely come with metaverse and VR experiences with oculus
maybe not on facebook metaverses or the main ones
but on the open and descentralized

imagine VR and AR slots, that could be some sort of innovation for the game

[bekti3]

Slot is pretty straightforward so I don't see any possible change or innovation in slots, just variations and difference in prices, I think it's even impossible to think of a way to innovate slots that's going to benefit both the slot owner and the player.

This is the most likely because it will be very difficult to implement innovations like this and the most innovations that are carried out are as you say and only make better graphics to make the players feel at home there.
there won't be anything new that will be implemented in slots because that's how they work even though it's a very old thing to do

I think most innovations are not that easy to implement since people usually prefer maintaining the status quo than challenging it, not only with games that are well known

I've seen some online places trying to innovate with slots but nothing really different

the first thing that comes to my mind is changing the number to possible slots or changing combinations and possibilities
of course the house edge will stay

What I mean in innovation here is to add some features to a more innovative direction but only in visualization not in terms of the program that is run.
things like this happen a lot these days and it just adds to a few things in common I guess.
on the other hand, now I am starting to see a change by playing games that are currently popular and used as gambling there.

Playing on something is just really on users preference thats why whether they do like to play slots or dice or sports betting then it wont matter because everything will really vary on interest on a certain individual and when it comes to innovation or something like that then we should wait up until
they do make those kind of changes.We are just only here to go for the best or into those which are best looking and interesting.
So lets just stick into it.
