Gambling between the past and nowadays

[ARTOIS]

We have all noticed the changes that have occurred in gambling over the past years, as gambling in 1990 or before is not the same as it is today due to several factors, including:
-Ease of playing and more casinos.
-Inventing new tools and methods of playing.
-Online gambling and the emergence of easy-to-use applications that support all games.
-The method of advertising has changed, becoming more effective and attracting more players.
-The presence of liquidity due to the increase in the amounts that players bet.
-Provides more profit opportunities..

In your opinion, what are the factors that brought  change in the field of gambling? What is your outlook on it in the future?

The pandemic.
When that happened, everything changed. Well, that's in my case but I bet it is for others too.
I am a poker player physically, I love playing with strangers who later on became my friends too. Still, when we sit at one table we become competitive again and there's no clue that we are friends. It became like a sport to me and it became my habit to go to that place weekly there are even times I cannot wait for my day off and will go there on weekdays just to satisfy my urge to play.
When the pandemic hit, the place closed down, and even now that it is open again I have not visited it again. I am kind of afraid that different people will be there and I might get shy to start playing again.
Then, I bumped into online gambling sites although I have known them before. i.e. Yolodice, Bitvest, 777, and more. That changed everything because I can satisfy my urge to gamble now by just opening my computer and it's a perk to me because I am also working at home. I don't even need to go outside to gamble and that's what happened for the last 3-4 years if my memory is correct.

I think the ease of access is the main reason why a gambler would just stay at home. You can even do it in your smartphone before going to bed which is a great feature.

There are probably a lot of factors at play...

I think that general societal unrest or dissatisfaction tends to play a large part. As well, a mixture of the economy being good and there being a surplus of value in cash but less work to justify it (ie, inflation). I would argue that while of course the quantity has increased, the actual intensity is more matching the 90's compared to the 2000s. I was looking for any charts that might support that but I can't find any very relevant long-term charts that might reflect gambling interest, aside from one specifically for Australia which spans long enough, and sort of meets my assumption.

Here is a very interesting chart.

The Australian chart in question- it's worth noting that gambling apparently went down during COVID, but has obviously spiked right back up after. That places like Stake and such have exploded in the past few years is no coincidence.

The rise of gacha games, which are independent of COVID but were also exacerbated by COVID, may also be poisoning younger people more readily than they would have otherwise with certain instincts.

In your opinion, what are the factors that brought  change in the field of gambling? What is your outlook on it in the future?

Advancement of technology, and that's how it works to make life easier. We cannot hide the fact that online gambling brings convenience  to gamblers making casino games accessible to almost all places and at any time. Games also evolved; try comparing slots, roulettes, dice games and such from before and the present. Games are more visually attractive, winning combinations are a lot more which quite gives higher tendencies of winning. If it is with futuristic viewpoint of how gambling industry would look someday, hard to specify but for sure it will again be concerned with overall convenience with the experience. New games might also be added which could bring more entertainment for gamblers. It is more of refining what exists in this industry and not solely with just "changing" this thing. From the present viewpoint, we could say that it has been a long run for this industry and more countries are now accepting its concept.

With the convenience that is currently available in gambling, it has made it very easy for people to gamble without having to play in a special place, as was done by people who gambled in 1990 to 1995. Around that year, I experienced for myself how difficult it was for people to gamble without there is the internet although currently I am just a spectator who helps them to get what they need such as helping to buy food and recording the results of their gambling.
I have no idea about the advances that will make gambling in the future as easy as it is now.

If there's one thing that can adapt to human evolution it would have to be gambling, it's been with civilization since time immemorial because gambling is inherent in us human beings, we keep innovating gambling, gambling is all about making money in the past that was what gambling is all about but modern society creates a platform to make it a form of entertainment so it will continue to be part of our existence.

Gambling is here to stay, the government cannot restrict it, gambling has been integrated into the internet and now Cryptocurrency has been integrated into gambling, so whatever technology that man comes out with, the gambling operators will find a way to integrate it.
Gambling is here to stay it's part of our human existence no one can say that he has not gambled all his life.

The internet has changed gambling more than anything else if you compare the 90s to now.  Instead of heading to smoky casinos with not many choices for games, we've got a whole online world of gambling that gives instant rewards and all kinds of cool stuff to play, all on our phones or computers.   

Technology made it so gambling keeps evolving.  The internet lets people play anytime, anywhere so I think tech will keep changing gambling in big ways going forward.  More games, better graphics, and who knows what else.  It's kinda crazy to think about compared to heading to Vegas like our parents did.

Advancement of technology,

Exactly. This is one of the key factors that I know have contributed to the new changes we have in the gambling industry. The more we are getting technological advances, the more those advances are being deployed in every area of life, which can help make things a bit easier for others to use. 
 
One thing about life is that we are open to innovation, and the more new casinos are coming to the industry, the more the old ones will like to improve in order to meet up with the competition.
 
Some new ideas are that, as a result of the high competition in the gambling industry, every developer wants to add something new that will attract gamblers to their sites and something that will keep the old customers. If there is no good change, gamblers might end up getting boarded by the casino and requesting something new.

[macson]

The most obvious difference between gambling then and now is the improvement in technology which allows everyone to access gambling more easily and quickly from their smartphones. users can choose from various platforms with lots of games and lower deposits and fast withdrawal processes that go directly to their accounts.

and the convenience offered by technology is what allows the gambling industry to develop as rapidly as it does today.

[zuzie]

In my opinion, many factors influence changes in gambling today and the most important thing is technological advances. Currently we have seen technological advances have a big influence in all fields, especially in relation to gambling, more and more various types of gambling are emerging with advertising and tempting bonuses.

And my view on this going forward is that if everyone wants to get into the world of gambling, it's good to understand the importance of the risks and impacts of gambling. because if people don't really understand gambling, they must be prepared to face new problems in their lives.

Advancement of technology, and that's how it works to make life easier. We cannot hide the fact that online gambling brings convenience  to gamblers making casino games accessible to almost all places and at any time.

Indeed, as you can see, the introduction of the internet and the general availability of smartphones have completely changed the gambling industry in the modern day, making it extremely convenient for us consumers to bet whenever and from anywhere on the globe. I think that because of this accessibility, there is a significant increase in the number of gamblers in society and the overall size of the gambling market.
 
I came to understand that before, gambling was prohibited in our nation, and it was once frequently viewed as illegal or associated with persons who gambled secretly. But now, it has evolved and been incorporated into entertainment and mainstream culture, and it is more universally accepted by society. While there is cultural change and adaptation taking place in my country, it goes without saying that those who manage the gambling industry must fulfill all legal requirements and submit them to the government in order to operate their business lawfully.

The existence of crypto level up the gambling industry in general because anyone can play now easily online without the need to connect your debit or credit card to online casino just to make a deposit unlike before when only fiat casino available online which mastercard and visa is the only payment method to deposit funds.

Also the fact that casino is now widely available online in most country makes gambling level to the next level because anyone can play anytime they want using their device while sitting comfortably on their home.

In your opinion, what are the factors that brought  change in the field of gambling? What is your outlook on it in the future?

Gambling only got stronger when the pandemic season happened; instead of many gambling businesses being closed, it got even stronger and was able to encourage people during those times via the Internet. And it can't be done except with the technology we have in the era of the pandemic, which was made possible because of the internet.

Meaning, technology has contributed greatly to online gambling; in fact, besides that, they have brought the casino closer to poor people, whereas when there was no online casino, often the only people who could go to the casino were the members of the physical casinos. Now, even if it's just a small amount, you can gamble even if you're at home.

As time goes by, everything will change according to current developments and that is what has also happened in gambling, in the last few years alone, for example, online casinos have developed very rapidly until now.
Previously, offline casinos or physical casinos were really the most favorite places because online casinos were not yet well developed and known to many people, in fact many people still did not trust the security of online casinos, so physical casinos were the main choice.
But now everything has changed and the decline in physical casinos has occurred which means that only large and reputable casinos can run consistently and still have lots of customers and of course can go hand in hand with online casinos.

In your opinion, what are the factors that brought  change in the field of gambling? What is your outlook on it in the future?

Business and competition in the gambling business is really very tight which makes every gambling site develop all the features and services they have to increase the interest of gamblers.
This is one of the reasons change for the better is really prioritized and of course as time goes by we will see how changes for the better can occur.

[Juse14]

At this time gambling can really be enjoyed by everyone, with all the conveniences available, now everyone can join an online-based casino. Gambling has become more flexible because it can be played anytime and anywhere, which is different from years ago, where gambling could only be done in a conventional casino, where not everyone could come there. And maybe this is one of the positive impacts of online gambling. But behind this convenience, online gambling has quite a negative impact that is felt by many people, one of which is addiction to online gambling itself, where quite a few people spend their time and money just playing online gambling. and this convenience makes people who are still underage also get involved in irresponsible online gambling.

[cabron]

Bitcoin is one of the factors. The coins were even thought to be intended for gambling when BTC first started. But overall crypto made it easy as people today can just create an account, no submitting of data or credit card but any user can directly just roll the dice online.

The innovation has really made things faster that today people can sit at the dinner table, eat, and gamble at the same time. That's how it is today while before you had to dress up, drive 5 miles and get inside a casino to play.

[piebeyb]

It is very different from gambling then and now, perhaps it could be said that since Covid hit the whole world and all citizens were asked to work from home, since then online casinos have become more and more popular with many people looking for fun and entertainment, so the internet is really valuable at that time to connect using mobile phones. and everyone gambles, bets on sports and gambles on casino games, since Covid has ended, online casinos have continued to be more successful because the Covid-19 infection has made people traumatized by going to land-based gambling and enjoying online gambling more.

The convenience that has been provided certainly makes people much more comfortable gambling at online casinos for now and even in the future, it seems that this business will never die, that's why every day many new online casinos are found popping up to attract the sympathy of new players and promote their sites everywhere. I found online gambling advertisements, I'm sure people saw that too, even many online casino sites support crypto, the ease and sophistication of this technology makes it easy for everyone to gamble without having to bother leaving the house.

[komisariatku]

In your opinion, what are the factors that brought  change in the field of gambling? What is your outlook on it in the future?

The innovation that occurs in gambling is caused by increasingly sophisticated technology. Ease of internet access, ease of payment systems and sophistication of technology make gambling a new innovation. Apart from that, Covid-19 has also made online gambling increasingly popular.

I am sure that in the future online gambling innovation will be even more sophisticated, maybe we can gamble with VR and AI. Maybe offline gambling at land-based casinos will be abandoned and no longer popular. Although it is difficult because there is a special sensation when playing at a land-based casino that is not found in online casinos

[kojektea]

progress is growing quite rapidly nowadays, this is largely influenced by the technology currently available, ease of access really supports gambling, I am sure that in the future many countries will legalize gambling, because gambling provides many benefits for state income, But it will also have bad effects, even small children can easily access casino sites

Of course, there are a whole lot of changes in the gambling industry compared to the old times, and I must say that it is better this day even as the industry has become richer than in the old days.

However, regarding your questions, I like to say that many factors are responsible for the better transition to the face of casinos and the industry at large, and I view the following as some of the factors;

1. Technological advancement: This can be in long writing if care is not taken by me because it entails everything that has changed the face of the gambling industry. It entails the discovery of computers and other gadgets that help in the gambling industry. Internet access and the ability to create programs in which gambling is made possible electronically can't be overemphasised here.

2. Creativity: This is a very good one. It takes creativity to be able to write the programs and also think about how certain games (new and old) could come into play, and also be able to code them into programs that will make them playable electronically.

3. Friendly regulation: Gambling has been favoured for ages by the government, and there is a lot that is being advanced through it while the government continues to give their support. Without this, the progress would be slow.

4. Increased population and Demand/patronage: This factor is equally very important as far as I'm concerned. Because, if the demand is very low, businesses built around it will not be much, not to mention the advancement. Today, more casinos/sportsbooks are everywhere due to the ever-increasing demand. People are gambling for money and entertainment, and many can gamble their last cash there to say the least, which makes it very attractive to developers and owners/ intending owners, and hence, more motivation to be creative to develop it more for better patronage in the face of this competitive market in the industry.
