Gambling between the past and nowadays

[Coin_trader]

In your opinion, what are the factors that brought  change in the field of gambling?

The human curiosity is what makes gambling industry innovates. Internet is invented long time ago yet gambling is not immediately incorporated on it because there’s no one knew how they can integrate it but since human curiosity is very strong everything is now connected to the internet including gambling. Internet is just a tool but the main factor that brought change to field of gambling is the human curiosity.

What is your outlook on it in the future?

I think gambling industry will approach virtual reality in the future since is always the dream and many metaverse is already developing this kind of concept. I think this will be popular once VR is improved.

Technological advancement is one of the most common factor that brought change in the field of gambling. Not only in the improvements of additional new features in the specific platform but also the existence of mobile devices that makes gambling a lot easier to access and given that most of us has now access on the internet which is also evolving.

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.

I highly agree with this. I feel like pandemic really plays a big factor that made people shift from physical to online gambling that easily. Imagine, within the span of 2 years of pandemic and lockdown, a lot of online gambling platforms emerges as well. I remember back then here in my country, cockfighting are very common that some people will really organize their small game even if it's prohibited. And since it's a very in demand game, online cockfighting becomes a thing. To prevent themselves from getting caught by the police, they just decided to stay at home and bet online. Also, a lot of gamblers learn to gamble online. And since it's an easy access, given the fact that people are getting bored staying at home, a lot of people also becomes addicted to online gambling at that time.

maybe in the future, we can play in casinos by meeting other players and interacting with them through the digital world. So at one live gaming table, there is not only interaction through conversation but can present a clear picture of us playing online casino virtually.
looking at technological advances, of course, anything can happen, and casino development will never stop. It will continue to grow and keep up with the times. because the enjoyment will never disappear.

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?

If we consider the way the world is transforming, we could realized more of technology advancement in this era of digital world, as we keep enjoying this, so also every part of the economy got extended to with the recent developments and the gambling sections are not left without being improved as well, we are in a modernized period and new things keep on popping in, the more we keep on having new developments, discoveries about how to improve doing things, this same also extend to not only the economy, but the gambling and we got new offers.

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

Yes, you have answered all these factors, definitely about gambling in the past and now, we are aware of gambling when it changes 💯 the degree of providing real changes for the sustainability of gambling for its users.

For me, there is the most interesting factor for me in the 90s gambling compared to today's gambling, where in the past we didn't have digital/crypto currencies like today to bet on, This is a form of convenience for all of us to gamble without having to use fiat as a bet. This is one of the factors in the progress with advanced technology that is currently felt in the changes in gambling today. In essence, the changes are very different from before.

Probably the biggest change here is the online gambling thing since from casinos or gambling outside something from a card game you could just play with your friends, it was so common in the province when I was a kid most of my neighbors gambled early in the morning just to play cards involving money, I mean casino wasn't really that popular that time and it's a province so you dont really see casino in the area something like that so gambling was more like games, or there are festivals where the whole town could play BINGO, or some sort of lottery.

I mean for sure online gambling websites already existed but I guess due to the COVID-19 virus I suppose online gambling websites became more popular at that time because people were just forced to be at home even working is done at home, so those people who wanted to gamble in the casino cannot gamble anymore probably because establishments like casino are also forced to close because there were just too many people on a casino. For sure it is going to evolve over time because our technology as will grow in the future what I'm expecting is something like what is happening on the Apple Vision Pro, probably you could gamble and play on online gambling casinos or even with your friends with just the use of VR technology.

The pandemic actually caused a major revolution in the online world. Most of the gamblers in the world were heavily attracted to gambling at that time. Gamblers were frustrated as to how they would spend their time confined within the four walls but when they got the opportunity to bet online it became a source of greatest joy among them. It was a period of great boom in the gambling industry. Since then, its industry has developed rapidly. The way I used to see gambling in my local area today has seen a big change. The games that used to be organized physically can now be played online.

The change is extreme. Technology has driven this change, in my opinion. Internet, smartphones, and cutting-edge software have made gambling more accessible and 24/7. The regulatory landscape has changed drastically. Countries are easing gambling laws due of its potential revenue. This has made gambling popular and boosted the industry.

I expect other technologies, especially in virtual and augmented reality, to change gambling again. More accessibility means more obligation to promote responsible gambling. I think how successfully the sector combines innovation and participant welfare will define its future.

[bettercrypto]

During the 90's, the only people who could gamble in casinos were the members of the casino and those who really had money or employees who were paid well every month. And if there are poor people who can gamble, it is gambling that is illegal most of the time.

But in our time, it is actually a worse situation because, from what I have seen and observed, there have been more gamblers in this era, to tell you honestly.

Yes, what you said is true. Because of the technology that we have, the gambling business industry has also been upgraded. Before, it was the gamblers who went to the physical casinos; now, it is the gambling itself that comes to people via the internet and can be downloaded on our mobile phones, laptops, or desktops via 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?

Technology changes everything, this is one of the main reason why gambling is very advanced today even before pandemic, there's already a lot of good improvement when it comes to technology adoption. Though one thing remains unchanged, the house will still be the big winner at the end of the day and that is because they also follow technology. We might be able to gamble using the Apple vision soon, and that could be the beginning of a new era in gambling.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

For me, the internet, which have brought about the birth of online gambling, is the number one factor that have brought alot of changes and growth in the world of gambling.
I think alot changed in the world of gambling during the year 2020, when the corona virus hit and the entire world was locked down, previous gamblers didn't only turn to the internet to continue gambling, but the level at which online gambling casinos rose to popularity also brought about alot of new and first time gamblers to the space.
And today, I feel that online casinos now makes even more money than their offline counterpart, for technology is now shifting alot of businesses online, and alot of customers are also choosing to do things online than it used to be in previous times where everything is done offline.

Technology has been bringing about significant advancements and changes in how people engage with various forms of gambling entertainment. Innovations such as live dealer games and blockchain-based platforms have enhanced the transparency and security of gambling transactions, providing players with greater confidence and trust in the integrity of the games.

The prospect of utilizing emerging technologies like augmented reality through Apple's vision may offer novel and immersive experiences for players, blurring the lines between virtual and physical gambling environments. But while technology may change the medium through which gambling is conducted, the fundamental dynamics of the industry remain largely unchanged,  The house always maintains an edge in gambling activities that ensures profitability over the long term.

Online gambling too the uptrend when the smartphones became useful enough to run po*n and games. 

Seriously speaking, computers and their home use rampantly led to the boom of the casino industry too. Now people would not have to travel to a physical casino to actually play the game but can do so from their home. Indeed times of being locked up in the house like the pandemic led to further increase but I was here before that it was already booming.

The outlook is indeed good, it is a sector worth becoming a part of, discreetly.

just look at the revenue that we have in online gambling thru the years. i guess, the below chart is suggesting that online casinos and bookies have a very bright future when it comes to generating income. this can give them motivation to continue their journey in this business and be competitive to stay afloat and get their share of this billion-dollar business.
i would say, the pandemic period also helped in the growth of online gamblers that we have today. they found so many advantages when they got stuck at home and looked for options regarding entertainment.

The gambling environment to the old days and new was the technology.Because of the high opposition in the past many gambling opportunities was the reason for the less people in the old days.Now the earning money in the current environment is easy one,So the many people use their excess money to play the gambling site.The people who earn the money had a right to spend in various forms,they doesn’t worry about their family words now a days.

The crypto currency emerge also the biggest reason for the gambling spread around the world.Because the gamblers can hide their identity in the gambling site based on the crypto currency.They also use the cryptocurrency wallet to withdraw their winning funds.

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

Definitely the internet, it makes things so easy to learn how to gamble and to gamble right in the comfort of your home, something that 30 years ago is unheard of , and to be anonymous, you can go out without people thinking that you are a gambler, some countries are restrictive to gambling and the advent of internet makes it possible for everyone to gamble without the prying eyes of the public.
Gambling become a multi-billion dollar industry because of the internet and so many casinos exist and new ones coming in to share a slice of this multi-billion industry.

Advancement of technology,

Correctly. The world is evolving around and you don't expect what's at the years back to remain the same without wanting to change technologically or otherwise.

Anything that has no change in it, means there won't be any much growth in it and it can be dumped by the wayside because of its lack of technological advancement.

The world have moved from analog world to a digital world where everything is done fast, secure and in the comfort of your home. However, no business ventures wants to stay behind without adopt the newest method of digital processing of making things fast and easier for their customers.

Technology is shifting in a more modern direction, creating many things that are more practical, easier to understand, and more accessible. Online gambling appeared when online games started to become popular, because the UI is almost similar. Then now online gambling can be played via cellphone because almost all gambling platforms have applications for Android/IOS. Moreover, now advertising via social media platforms is very massive, plus gambling companies sponsor many popular sports such as football and racing. Everyone can easily see this.

Liquidity and innovation has helped change the industry from the old days of someone running around manually to collect bets on a game for example.  This is revolutionary in comparison and helps provide even the most remote and slight gambler with an opportunity that was only afforded to the rich and well landed bettors previously.
   Its definitely part of the technology development even if crypto had not come to help gambling globally it would still be the case that technology helps serve every customer as if they had their own personal bookmaker to give them odds.  No need to travel into town and queue manually, its at the fingertips which much time saved you can consider the game far more and I think sports betting is the leading growth in the industry as the graph above seems to indicate.
