Importance of Multiplayer Gaming in Gambling Industry

[dothebeats]

I don't believe in this "create a sense of community" thing. I've played PvP poker on online casinos and I've never felt like I'm being a part of a community or something. Maybe I'm too introverted and I don't use the chat feature, because it can be quite distracting.
I've also played many online multiplayer games(not gambling) and I don't create connection with other players, build friendships or feel like I belong to a community.
I don't mind the concept of multiplayer gambling, but hyping it up as a place to "meet new people and make friends" seems artificial to me.
The gambling platforms are for gambling, social media platforms are the place to meet people and make friends(also pretty artificial, if you ask me, but who cares).

To each his own, I guess. I actually enjoy playing with other people be it gambling or just regular games. It kinda makes me feel that I have a 'friend' whenever I play, or whenever I use the chat feature to interact due to getting in touch with people with the same interests as I am. Also, sometimes you just feel like time passes extremely fast whenever you have someone to talk to while you're doing something, and as someone who gambles mainly for the entertainment, it helps me to kill time in a huge way.

This is why land-based casinos are a very popular venue for socialization.  And the online gambling wanted at least to imitate them thru virtual interaction.  A casino chat box where players and admin are interacting gives a sense of belonging.  The questions and queries are entertained and share the feeling of happiness when winning or encouragement when disappointed.  Human indeed needs to socialize that is why the multiplayer game would increase the interests of people who love to interact with people with the same interest and or gambler who love competitive games to challenge their skills and cleverness.

Well you have a totally respectable approach, maybe some players don't see it that way, because maybe others are more open to social and you're right about many things, maybe a chat can be very distracting and lose concentration, but also not everything is bad, some players are very good and why not, you can become friends with some of them and with that knowledge and strategies are shared, some just use the chat to annoy or something, but that already depends on whoever you want to relate to, you can easily do it that way, there are some who call that a community and it's not so bad. But your criteria is totally good and everyone has their way of seeing things.

It looks like many people industry think community driven games are more encouraging. I am doubtful. It totally depends on individual. I would agree that type of gamers who prefer mmo (world of warcraft etc.) would be bored of person based gambling games. But not all people play mmo or Fortnite. There are people who likes to play adventure games. There are people who wanna stay independent of from their circle, they could prefer games like slot machines.

[Peanutswar]

There are different types of people regarding the game they want some of them to want to play alone just a casual game that they can enjoy on their selves, and sone of the people are want to play against other players too some of them want to show up their skills and talent in playing and of course, it is more entertaining because you can compete with another player, and can challenge them but of course, it becomes possible toxic at the same time due to players mood in the current game.

I agree that it depends on each person, but many people who join the community often get together and spend time together playing or discussing their games. Those who join the community will certainly be happy if there is a match between groups. But if multiplayer games are integrated into gambling, it may attract gamblers to choose a group or team with a greater chance of winning than others. But, indeed, there may still be people who still play the games they love.

Multiplayer Gambling industry does provide a lot of benefits for the people stuck at home, they do not have a lot of options for going out and playing something therefore during the COVID, it's even more important, I know so many friends of mine who are not good with making any friends in real life but have amazing groups online and they are also hanging out in real life as well, it does create a strong community, international as well and it redefines the borders as a whole, I do think that Multiplayer Gaming might be one of the most important ones that are in there in the market for people, some of them are even developing over the years to be honest and still going strong in the market.

Multiplayer gaming have lead to make healthy relationship with universe, because we get teamed with someone who is a stranger. This way to many have turned to be friends. Myself not much into gaming, but my friend used to spend nights playing as a team. One day I encountered he's the only person in the team from my country. Rest were from different nations and they were able to communicate even though there is some difficulty in language.

This is really amazing. In these games, even if they are unknown at first, they come in a group and get acquainted with everyone. I would call it is a bridge. One of the joys of playing together is that you can truly bring a unique dimension to the world of gaming. Here you will find different types of help while playing which is not possible in single game. You'll be able to run your own conversations with everyone in your group, as well as gaming action at the same time.

Pros
Multiplayer gaming is important to attract more audiences. It brings a sense of belongings to the user and meets the basic need of the individual in having a community. Players that are active in social interactions often stay and even encourage friends to join the platform.  With more people and peers involved, this may heighten the entertainment factor that a client received from the gambling site. Tapping Multiplayer Gaming and implementing it in a gambling system will definitely boost the gambling industry and may open or boost a new era in the gambling system.

Cons:
Another cause of dopamine overload.

Question in hand
What do you think is the effect of enhancing Multiplayer Gaming implementation in the Gambling industry?

It's actually surprising that more crypto sites do not offer a player versus player environment, but I guess it's a very fine balancing act. I have a feeling that it could cause a more toxic environment, especially if chat options are available and this might drive away players in the long run - there's an element of unpredictability. It might drive more anger and rejection than other types of games, while also making people lose money more quickly. The gambling site wants to keep you hooked and stretch out the "fun" for as long as possible, so they can work in alot of algorithms and feed lots of small wins back to the player while draining their account balance slowly. It also requires a lot more resources to prevent cheating as collusion can often totally ruin the odds between players.

[AicecreaME]

I guess the effects will entirely depend on what type of person is going to play. For example, if a solo player would first try this multiplayer game, for sure he would do a lot of adjustment, one of that is to openly communicate with his partner on how to win a game, or being challenge more since he is against someone and not just a system A.I. On the other hand, if a player is playing already a multiplayer game before, I think he might just have to look for a strong opponent to find the excitement he is looking for to enjoy the game.

Of course it will also be addicting, especially if you find something interesting on the game.

That's because PvP games are more time-consuming compared to playing on your own where you could quickly go for several rounds. Some crypto casinos i've played used to have PvP games like coinflip but most of them prefer to play other games and the coinflip rooms would always be filled with bots waiting to accept a challenger.

That would be the case if there's no moderation but most chatboxes are usually monitored by at least one or two people since it's inevitable for all players to act properly.

[Gianluca95]

I would like to try a multiplayer gaming, I think that it should be an interesting form of entertainment. I've only used it in poker online at the moment or with some

form of Roulette or blackjack, and it was funny. But yes, PvP industry is growing at the moment, and I think that in future PvP will represent the highest percentage

of players of casino.

[Ulven]

For me the big question is if in this type of games there will be a margin for the most skilled players to obtain long term profits as it happens in poker or it will be simply several players playing against the house and its House Edge. I think it can have a good future in both cases because of the social aspect, but the fact of giving a little bit of House Edge allowing some players to win in the long term can make it even more attractive.

Yeah,poker is a game of strategy and skill.  It is one of the most popular card games in the world.  The more you learn the more you win!!!a good online poker player must learn to adapt to different nationalities and languages. The best way to do this is by meeting new people and building friendships with them. This makes it easier for you to understand the language, culture and etiquette of other players.

Yep, and don't forget that PvP tends to converge players in one big pool (or room), so small casinos won't have a chance against big players. Probably Evolution etc. will still suck players. PVP is also more suitable for skill games that have a competitive nature in it, not for betting. This is because smurfing (pro player using newbie account) will likely to happen and destroy newbies -> no newbie join -> dead platform.

Gambling = Luck / RNG, these people are walking on the dead end.

Multiplayer and Player Vs Player games are fun to play especially when you can interact with other people through chat. However, i would like to know if the gambling casino prefers to offer multiplayer games as in those games one player will lose but the other player will win. The gambling site can only get a portion of the winnings, while in single games, the house tends to make more profit when a player loses against the house.

[LodisMcguire]

Wel it depends on what kind of player they are dealing with.If it's with casual player,it would make them more comfortable because they have one more entertainment that is live interaction between player.For the pro player,they don't seem to care about this as long as they got to play.I think small casino wouldn't want to implement this because it will take to long for them to gain profit with multiplayer kind of gambling.

What you said there about being toxic is true and this is the main problem that most people are facing now when it comes to multiplayer games. I don't know why someone cant' just play calmly and do not take things seriously.

There are still players that acts like a kid even if they are an adult already but we can just ignore these players or mute them during the game because if you will keep on entertaining them, the issue will only get bigger and it can affect your gameplay. Despite that fact, I still prefer multiplayer games because the fun that I feel is extraordinary than compare to when I am only playing alone. I know how to deal with toxic people, that's why.

[Bttzed03]

I can compare this sense of belongingness that multi-player gaming brings to spices that you sprinkle on a dish just to add extra flavor. It's something that I, as a gambler, don't really need and can play without. Socializing (online/irl) during a game is fine but, when we're talking about betting, it's always the availability of money and the thought of winning that will make people play.

Question in hand
What do you think is the effect of enhancing Multiplayer Gaming implementation in the Gambling industry?

Is there any effect? Do you think that gamblers into sports betting, slots, and other popular gambling games will switch to a multiplayer game just like that?

Except for poker I like to play, I didn't find any other interesting multiplayer gambling game! This thread is like many other similar threads with multiplayer gambling games discussions:

What games are best suitable for PvP gambling?

Multiplayer vs single player games

Gambling with normal games

So a lot of talking, theoretically it has enormous potential, but for now, I simply don't see any interesting multiplayer gambling games!

The way I see it, gambling as been quite a profitable and popular activity for humanity since the beginning of civilization and with the arrival of internet and such addictive games like Dota, Leage of Legends, Counter Strike, etc which are also part of an industry that generates billions of dollars per year on its own, it does not surprise me that the multiplayer competitive games and gambling constitute a winning duo.

Part of the importance of these new e-sports for the gambling world comes from the fact that they may be found more appealing to the newest generation of gamblers. I have personally met people who are very into MOBAS like Leage of Legends and follow the tournaments and at the same time they are not very much involved in Football or other traditional sports, so they would find entertainment gambling their money on e-sports rather than traditional sports. It is a new market, with important sponsors like the US army.

Yes, it seems that gambling and betting in multi-player game or esports added some spice to it. I personally have a number of friends because of this esports games wherein every semi finals to grandfinals we're betting to the team we are rooting, it gives more excitement to the game although in my country betting in this even is not tolerated maybe friendly betting game will do.
