around 1.6 billion people worldwide gamble, What about a poker gamefi??

[LUCKMCFLY]

We have seen so many types of GameFi, but none of them is focused on the game which means it is not entertained. I think poker is a good start point to enter the gamefi area in the future.

You mean if we need more adoption in gambling, then we should have to improved poker or advertise poker more than ever before? For me, I think it should be the easiest one like dice or slot that should be the starting point but if it will be the starting point then it should have more benefits to the new players, benefit makes them more interested and come back again.

We don't even need to that ourselves, many casino platform are doing that for us and from what I can see, there are new users every year that join the poker game on a daily weekly and monthly basis. I have many of my friends who like playing poker and they enjoy inviting friends and family that love joining them on the learning and getting mastering the art of playing it. With time the number we are seeing now will drastically increase with time.

People do not like playing poker game. Poker  because i believe that poker is not well known to people. Where go to is all this soccer playing bet both online and offline if you which very well. You will notice that, that many people do not like to play poker. The most popular gambling game people like to play online is casino game even playing with cryptocurrency. But i noticed that it's feel people who played with cryptocurrency because they don't know how to play with it.

What happens is that gambling usually has several ramifications, those who like slot machines, those who like blackjack, those who like sports betting and especially those who like poker.

I believe that many people do not currently play poker because the idea of playing only against the casino does not seem attractive to them, obviously there will be a greater advantage in the casino than in the same player, for this it is much better to organize poker tournaments, wherever it is of style PVP and so you can get better options to win, there if something different comes up and the chances of winning when it's PVP and in a tournament is greater.

Poker was different gambling liked by huge people from the beginning.But due to new era of casino,their is less interest in the poking gambling.In our childhood all of us may play this game at interest.When any gambling website will bring the poker again in their gambling site,their will be huge response.Most of my friends also had huge interest on this pokers game then live casino.

Poker games are still popular and interesting these days as it’s now already played online, and probably more profitable than before. Though there are a lot of types of gambling games that continue to arise in the gambling industry, but we should not underestimate poker gambling as it’s still in demand in casinos which is mostly played by big time players and with large bankroll.

For me poker games are very important, but as I said before, only a platform or casino that catches up with the PVP style online tournaments is flatta, if they do it is possible that they can be very successful, when I started in this world was in 2017, and apart from freebitco.in and stake.com which were the first casinos I met, at that time there was a site called betcoinpoker and it was software that was downloaded, the tournaments were quite good and there were some where a tournament was played for free and the prize was ne mBTC, it is a pity that it is no longer online, but that same concept would bring great success at the moment, I do not know if any casino has considered this option.

Betnomi is the casino that I have seen that have held big poker tournaments, they have been very successful, but I think that the direction of traditional games should go in that sense of poker games in PVP.

I have been doing poker courses, but in the ones I have done that are free they do not talk about a guide on how to play, each person plays according to their personality, and yes, there are many players with very large funds to play but they do not get the platform that meets those needs.

Live casinos, there is a poker game, but there is one that is very real, video poker, and it is very good, I have tried them and the experience is very real, it is like being in a metaverse, but the lack of casinos that make tournaments is something big, and here there is money, very good players who bet on playing poker for a long time, what is missing to recover that taste for poker in casinos?

[lienfaye]

Poker game is a well-known old game and is still in demand by its old fans, but it does not rule out the possibility to use it yourself to enter online games, gambling sites are still available on every platform. even competitions with fantastic prizes are often held, so there is no need to advertise, new players will come to the poker sites they want.

I guess if users request to add poker games to the casino, it will be added because of the large number of poker game enthusiasts. Especially after the casino added the game of poker to their place, the casino held a competition to play player vs player. It will be a fun live show to see two players competing against each other to be the champion. If this show is successful, other casino sites will be interested in adding this poker game to their casino sites and start promoting it to their members.

If my memory serves me right, we have poker tournaments here in the community before and it was sponsored by a casinos. I'm not a poker player but maybe there are also casinos that added this already because obviously it is one of the most well known games as the OP has pointed out based on statistics.

Interesting article of Binance about GameFi here: https://academy.binance.com/en/articles/what-is-gamefi-and-how-does-it-work

In our place, poker is still popular especially in physical casinos with big time gamblers. But despite of being well-known it cant be denied that many gamblers are looking for other games that are more entertaining.

Nowadays casinos (either online or physical) are now offering many games aside from card games as we know there are dice, slots, sports betting etc. that got the interest of players. I dont play poker often because I prefer other games to play in. But if we say gambling, poker is part of it as a card game that is known to many.

I think the game of poker still has a huge fan base but since the news about the game of poker is not very widely circulated, it makes us think that the game of poker is not very popular anymore. Maybe if in countries that allow gambling and have offline casinos, the game of poker is still running and played by many people who like it. In addition, there may be online casinos that have poker games on their sites and are still one of the choices for gamblers to play gambling.

Ah so you are one of those guys who likes to play the freerolls only, I mean sure so do I, but usually if a place has freerolls, you can be sure the freebie hunters and bots will all start coming in the hundreds and then the experience is ruined for everyone else.

It's not even about large funds. I play with $5 buy in sometimes and maybe one or two rebuys. It's much more fun to actually have money on the line.

Poker freerolls are fun, that structure with fast blinds forces players to play all-ins all the time which makes poker all about luck. Only at the end, with around 10-20 players left with huge stacks, we can say there is some real poker experience.
With at least some buy-in it's a different story, game structure allows players to experience real poker, there's time to think about the next move, and to plan and develop strategies through the game!

[minime0105]

I want to answer you through your title. Gambling is what everyone is doing now even those people who you see that is rich they also play gamble for leisure and entertainment. But some people will think that the mindset of playing gambling is because of to be rich or to support having money from another source and that is why people is now involving in gambling. I want you to know that why people as you mentioned almost 1.6 million people is playing gambling, they use it to catch fun at home

In the first few minutes we see lot of players following the same strategy as it's a freerolls so going All In is also not a problem for them and if they are lucky they could be left with some stash in the end.As game advances you will see people playing strategically and folding the cards if they think they have a weak pair instead of going All In but it's fun gameplay if you participate in them with some games going very long.

I really think the pandemic had a lot to do with it, people were desperate to get any kind of entertainment that they could, not only because there was almost nothing on TV worth to watch this was also because they wanted at least for a few moments to forget the awful reality in which we were living, and gambling was the best way for them to do this, now some people may expect that after the lockdowns were lifted people will stop gambling, but it doesn't seem as if this is going to happen.

[STT]

Poker takes alot of patience to play, its not going to be the right game for everyone.  I think alot of people require fast results when they bet not continual rounds of cards and waiting for it to go around the table before getting a result, especially online you have to give time to each player on every card.   I like poker but its not going to be every person registered as a regular player will now pick up Poker no matter how clever you make the app; the proper poker players will run rings around the less determined people.
  Poker is a game which does hand some bias in the wins to those with experience, skill to some extent.

forces players to play all-ins

Really not a fan when this happens

Poker is much harder in this than blackjack because there are blackjack guides as to when you should or shouldn't bet anymore and what % chance you have on winning if you request another card at that point. There are similar things for poker and good players know what cards could be in player's hands based on what they saw on the table in the last round and what cards they can see face up. That said, there's always a decent amount of uncertainty for the game to remain exciting even when players are very good.

Gambling is not always for the fun, even the rich want to be more richer so they can afford anything they will need money to buy.

Not true , the rich wanted to win because of their Ego and not totally to double their money , and also not to buy what they need because they already has those money.

The sole aim of gambling is to make money and which is the reason why more people are gambling is a less stressed manner so they will not be too over focused on bettings which is the reason why it always looks like they are betting for fun and entertainment.

well , I doubt that it is the sole aim for gambling , I have known some people that only gambles when they wanted to enjoy and allotting some amount to spend and let lose (but of course winning is a bonus lol)

It is that this is the correct thing, before we play we should make a recount of what we want to obtain, and part of it is to allocate a part of the money totally willing to lose, and that is not a bad thing, for many they see it as something greedy and that should not happen, but I think that things like this should be done to avoid possible problems in the future, I think that everyone thinks that they can get rich if they bet more in a casino, and no, that does not work like that, for My things have to work in a great way if you know how to play, with the fact of just having fun the profits will come at the least expected moment, and I think that is much more gratifying.

[Piesel]

I use to believe that poker game are skill based games and there is little to no luck involve in winning poker games not until I read from some users comments on this thread then I discovered there is place for luck factors in poker games.

We have seen so many types of GameFi, but none of them is focused on the game which means it is not entertained. I think poker is a good start point to enter the gamefi area in the future.

You mean if we need more adoption in gambling, then we should have to improved poker or advertise poker more than ever before? For me, I think it should be the easiest one like dice or slot that should be the starting point but if it will be the starting point then it should have more benefits to the new players, benefit makes them more interested and come back again.

We don't even need to that ourselves, many casino platform are doing that for us and from what I can see, there are new users every year that join the poker game on a daily weekly and monthly basis. I have many of my friends who like playing poker and they enjoy inviting friends and family that love joining them on the learning and getting mastering the art of playing it. With time the number we are seeing now will drastically increase.

@Desmong I will like to find such a group of friends who help each other in learning poker games because I will like to have some skills before I play poker games in real casinos and I will be glad if you can share a link where I can learn poker games from others who have gained some skills over time in poker.

[FanEagle]

You are unfortunately right. I learned that back in 2014 period, I gambled away a lot of money by trying to chase more wins and in the end I ended up with losing a lot of money. I first started out with losing a tiny amount, but then small by small it grew to be a big amount. Today, if we calculate how much I lost in fiat that would be like under a grand or about a grand lost total in the past 5 years, because I gamble with a small amount, but if we look at how much bitcoin that I have lost, it becomes several thousands of dollars because price of bitcoin went up.

So overall, I would highly suggest everyone to not follow losses like me, and just focus on what you could get back, which is your sanity if you do not lose much.

Even though poker had gain a lots of interested users so far I'm the gambler world, people are now going to other type of gamefi where they can always play with lower risk and earn rewards which is what many metaverse projects are bringing to the gaming world. The metaverse is big ams growing and in the next generation we might be seeing a lots of gamers going for something cool but I think poker will still have lots of gamblers playing it.

Everything is change and the gambling too. The poker tourneys always more interesting than over casino games because it more difficult and depend both on luck and player skills. The offline tourney are the sport events that attracts attention all over the world, millions of people watch this tourneys. But for the small players online casinos looks very easy to use and saves time and money. The same time the online tourneys don`t look so exciting, TV willn`t show it.
I think that the poker will be different for different gamblers, both online and offline, but we`ll hear mostly about offline poker.

I was reading about that binance article but they mention their games axie infinity and metaverse what I notice is that everything is going to go in metaverses it may be that things are going to go through metaverses very soon and wherever good tournaments are held of poker, if binance does that, they can create more and be more reliable.

The bitcoinalk forum should make a space among the best casinos so that they can have live poker tournaments, but everything can be done if statistics are taken into account to see if it is viable, do these characteristics not exist within the forum, or probabilities and statistics? In the Meta threads that I review there is not a user who has done something like that, I imagine it is due to surveys, I have not done statistics for a long time, but it would be nice if we could have the statistics of the most active users in games of chance and that if they like poker, then we could survey that group that we consider a sample, maybe if they want to play but they don't show it much.

The game-based NFT thing was very famous, but it wasn't successful, they did everything very badly and that clouded everything related to NFTs in a bad way, on the other hand, I haven't seen anything like that in statistics. What are you saying, it is difficult to manage all the data that refers to it, the data that is managed globally can be obtained with other types of things, such as merits, or with characteristics that have to do globally and are easier to obtain without having to use filters, because that's when it starts to fail, when there are filters because it's not entirely viable, but that idea isn't bad, the metaverses are also something to take into account or compare all these things, but I haven't yet seen that no casino messes with it.

Even though poker had gain a lots of interested users so far I'm the gambler world, people are now going to other type of gamefi where they can always play with lower risk and earn rewards which is what many metaverse projects are bringing to the gaming world.

Well, we all know very well that poker is a game that dates back many years, it is one of the most popular basic and traditional games, but currently for some strange reason not many tournaments are held online, and it is something that I have been saying a lot, only one or another platform organizes some tournaments of that style, when PVP tournaments are held I think they are much better than being on TV, however it is necessary to rescue that taste for poker again and that people become more interested and place their bets as they should be. In almost all platforms there is poker, but it is a poker against the casino, it is good, but it is better when it is against people online, I think that emotion is superior.

The risk will remain the same, i.e. lose or win. Maybe what makes the difference is how much money we use to gamble. And I think poker games will still be popular among players even though there are more types of gambling games, poker players always come back and play poker with their friends. Maybe the metaverse still needs to be developed again but the metaverse can also become a trend in the gambling industry, especially when there are gambling providers who launch metaverse-based games. Having many poker players, makes poker games still survive during competition between gambling games.

Poker is traditional due to its age and still being played popularly up until this date but I won't say that it was a basic game because poker is played with more cards and there are different mechanics of this game unlike to other card games like blackjack that only two card is needed and by there the mechanics of the game is also easy. Poker tournaments are still there but they are mostly held locally or offline and there's also online but I think most of them are hosted in a fiat based casinos.

There are different varieties of poker online but the classic ones are still there where your opponents are also a real human and not bots or anything.

It's always sad to read the stories of people that have lost an amount of money they consider important for them, however at least you've learned your lesson and you were able to stop before this developed into a more serious issue, the only issue is that many newbies still believe they can earn money with gambling and they'll ignore stories like this thinking it's never going to happen to them, not understanding that this can happen precisely to those which ignore the warnings on stories like the one you had to go through.
