Apple Vision Pro and its Implication in Online Gambling

[bitbollo]

For sure, it's an innovative product that can generate a whole series of circumstances/use cases in many industries (entertainment and otherwise) obviously including gambling applications.
personal opinion , it will take time (at least a few years) before we see a realistic impact of this technology...

Do you know the price of this piece of s*it? It's 3500 USD. I wonder how many gamblers around the world would be willing to spend 3500USD just to "enhance their gambling experience" by adding virtual reality? Not much, if you ask me.
Replacing a real offline casino with this virtual reality BS seems like nonsense to me. Replacing an online casino with VR is another nonsense.
I have the feeling that this VR technology will have much bigger success in the adult industry, rather than the gambling industry.

Using the device will make us feel like we are in a casino, and maybe we can also interact with other gamblers. But this requires self-control because using this device can make us more comfortable playing gambling and forget about our goal so that we won't realize if we have been gambling for a long time. Some gamblers may say they can still control themselves, but after experiencing that different experience, they can forget to control themselves. This different experience can make gamblers more curious about this device to find other new things. So be careful if you finally decide to buy the device.

[wiss19]

It would obviously be one heck of an experience but unfortunately, not everyone can afford to buy this device and experience it, the device is probably pretty costly and an average gambler cannot afford it, besides, there will be the need for a casino to create and develop an environment that will support this device which users from all over the world can use to get together and gamble against each other.

It will take quite some time to implement these things in the gambling industry and even if they manage to do it, the affordability will be a big hurdle for people to be able to experience something immersive and the companies or platforms offering this sort of gambling will probably be at a loss for the development costs.

Things are still virtual but with a different perspective. It'll give enjoyment indeed to the gamblers but would it be an added risk to gambling addiction? If by gambling engagement I think it would do so, first of all the more a players enjoys what he's doing, it would push him to play for a longer period of time. But with regards on betting more and losing more, that depends on the player. A change with gambling experience won't guarantee an increase to betting amount, I guess, the player will just enjoy it more. However, if it is just "true gambling experience" they are seeking of, why do they just go to a landbased one? Convenience? I doubt.

apple will always keep producing expensive gadget to the market because they know that people will always buy since it is there product. Honestly I see know reason for this since it is not going to affect our gambling activities positively to make us earn more. This is going to be a big trend now that people are always after Apple's products because it is of a good quality. I would prefer using the fund I will use to buy this for something that will be more meaningful for me than wasting it on a vision pro apple product since I don't know what I would benefit using it.

I wonder what this means for the gambling industry, the gambling experience, and gambling addiction. I would like us to discuss this topic. Gambling with this device would make it feel like you are in a casino. I am pretty sure the experience would be out of this world - the visuals, the sounds, the overall feel. On the other hand, it seems that it could be easy for a gambler to lose track of time while using the device because the immersive experience might make it difficult to see or be aware of the time, leading to a potential increase in gambling addiction. The odds against the player won't change, only the experience. Please share your thoughts on this matter.

I mean is this the first thing we think about when it happened? I do not think that it is as good as people think it is, I feel like this is going to be just a bit more advanced VR goggles and nothing more, nothing too fancy and it will not make it all that great. People are reacting as if this will be something amazing and it will be like we are totally in a different place but the reality is that it is not going to be a technological marvel, nothing we haven't seen or heard of before, it is going to be as normal as it gets.

Secondly we are going to end up with something that means it is going to end up with very expensive so it would be only available to few people around the world, we are not going to end up with millions of people using it, and of those few who has it, how many will want a casino, how many would even build one?

For gambling experience I think that will take some time before casinos would adopt to the tech, but not that long I guess. You would really lost track of time when you play with this but that will always depends on how you manage your time and you have other important things to do. On gambling addiction, I think the same way too that it may increase your risk.

Yes, you are right, most of any innovative product will definitely take time to make users feel comfortable using it, technology is indeed developing fast but the impact takes time to be used en masse, especially in my opinion, the price is still relatively expensive and still relatively new. if the price is affordable maybe it will be used more by gamblers in online gambling.

Unfortunately the little gambler won't use this to test it even though it's a pretty good technology to use online gambling but I will see how it is used by online gambling and rich people gambling using Apple vision pro.

Somewhere in the pile of the threads here in gambling discussions, this was also talked about. The title is VR versus AR or something like that. I cannot find it, maybe it was buried so deep but it was a healthy discussion and I think that will happen here too.

Injecting the said technology into the gambling industry. I don't think it's that bad but yes, there may be instances the gambling addiction will grow from those who play occasionally. It will change a lot of things and if it will become successful it might become the top played game using that.
But as I also said to the other thread, I was hoping they could make the technology cheaper and do the marketing inside the technology, I know that is expensive or will be expensive once it goes out of the market and it cannot be bought by gamblers who are tight on their budget.
There must be a way to change how they will make more profits rather than putting all the price on the item itself.

This will be cool in a poker game. There had been a lot of conversation on how a poker game could feel like it's almost real and I think this is the answer to it.

[livingfree]

Not surprised about this new tech that Apple is introducing but if it has a very limited of power then those active gamblers and even those that have been in professional gambling won't see a lot of optimism with it.

But we've already saw those ideas about gambling with VR and some device that can be compatible with it.

Not that much to say on it but I know that this is a very promising way of attracting more to become gamblers.

Its a new world and a new experience yes at the start you could lose track of time and the immersion is enhanced because when we are trying out new concepts and new technology there's likely that we are going to spend more time and but still goes down to your level of control in your gambling habit.

But for gamblers who are looking for thrills and risk-takers, this is going to be bad for them, I'm sure casinos will recommend people to try this new technology to make them stay more on their platform and spend more, the more gamblers spend money and spend time the casino will make a profit.

Seems very expensive for the average person to be willing to purchase. I just don’t think at $3,500 enough online gamblers are going to want to want to buy it.

I could be wrong, I think it will sell well but at $3,500 gamblers specifically aren’t going to be the main audience imo.

[Aikidoka]

Probably this Apple product would be really good for a Metaverse casino and could attract many gamblers in fact. It's such an amazing piece of technology as the OP mentioned imho. However, I think it's kind of expensive. So for anyone who wants to buy this product, I would recommend waiting a little bit longer to see what Samsung will release next. Then, you can choose which one fits you best.

According to the YouTube video, it looks really as an awesome product to be honest. We will see more reviews from buyers soon and we'll have a better opinion about it.

If you've seen the WWDC feature of this joke of a product, you'd realize that all your hopes were for nothing. Imagine using AR goggles not for entertainment, but for work and productivity, that's just downright Bladerunner BS right there. There's little to no incentive in buying this product as everything it can do, a macbook can do better for half the price and could even guarantee that you'd be able to gamble properly online, cause you're not stuck on a 2 hour battery life. Plus if you wanna try out virtual gambling, why? Real life gambling is a thing and you can easily do it by just dropping by at your own local casino, would even help you socialize with people lmao.

There's no real application for this in the gambling or the gaming world, this is not your regular Oculus Glasses that allows for that feature. The Apple Vision Pro is specifically catered towards productivity, and light entertainment, not for some heavy-ass gaming/gambling.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

As I was reading the op, I was visualizing in my head what the experience would be or feel like using this device, and yeah, if such a device will be introduced to gambling, that is, gamblers can wear this device, and through it, visit an online casino to gamble, that is something like being in the metaverse, but this time, it's highly upgraded cus its no longer something being experienced through a handheld device like phones or laptop computers, but a visual reality device that makes everything look like it's really happening live at that moment..

I agree this can cause people to loose track of time big time, and can easily drive many to gambling addiction, and this can even be worst cus with this device, it's no longer just gambling addiction we will be dealing with, but users wil be addicted to this device, and at the same time, addicted to gambling, which is two serious  issues.

[sunsilk]

Another innovation but I don't think that there will be a lot of gamblers that would be willing to spend $3,500 for that device. With that amount, as a gambler, I'll probably just gamble it all along.

But the wisest thing to do is to save that and then invest to any investment that I'll think of but most likely, I'll invest that in Bitcoin and that's much way better and wiser way to spend that money.

While it's still on its early stage, there could be a lot of bugs from the users that will eventually be found so it's better to wait until price goes down and when it's lesser buggy.

Good to hear that massive technology grow up with us, and walking together without any problems. I don't know what will have affected next for us and our children with this development. But so far I really like this kind, this is the same as the new tech metaverse, and creates cyberspace like real. Of course, it will affect addiction if the user can control his gambling habit. Play in the real world is fun, but when the real world really comes into our room and makes it easier to deposit, this is impact the new technology.

My thoughts are similar but I do wonder -- Technology gets cheaper with time, (though with Apple the curve of time and price is shifted slightly to the right as it takes longer for Apple's tech to lower in price) -- imagine 5-10 years from now when the current iteration of the Vision pro would be at a price point, say, 50% cheaper, or more. Consider competitors catching up to Apple's technology and releasing their own VR headset.

I could see VR headsets becoming ubiquitous as a smartphone; VR gambling could be the next iteration of online gambling and the company that can introduce VR table games or slots will make a lot of money. I recall when virtual blackjack tables were first introduce some years ago, it felt pretty groundbreaking.

[ethereumhunter]

At such a high price for now, I didn't think there would be so many people willing to buy it. Maybe they'll wait until there are more cheaper options so they can afford it.

But such a device can give people a different experience but can also make them addicted to always wearing it and not doing any activity. But as long as we can use the latest technology well, actually the latest technology can help our activities. So maybe waiting for other devices that will certainly be more advanced than that Apple offers is a wise decision.
