Gambling between the past and nowadays

[Antotena]

But sincerely speaking the kind of lifestyle people are living now are more comfortable than before because at then we can say there were less mobile friendly. What I mean is that, most people only used the traditional ways of gambling where they don't need to visit the casino site or gambling site themselves to gamble except to they go to the local gambling shop to place their bet and as then they were doing it responsibly. Unlike now where everyone has access to internet facility, they can stay at their comfort zone to play gamble provided they have access to the site and have the requirements the site needs they will gamble.

Not only that, we have seen an immensely increase in numbers of casino everwhere. In the early days of early internet in my county, if I should count the numbers of betting companies that are operating legally here are not more than 2-3 but today, we have much more numbers now that are licensed and even more of them that are working illegally and lot of people patronize them of their services, this has directly increased number of employment of people in the country.

The casinos these days don't need to invest heavily on physical machine or even physical place for people to gamble, they have reduced cost of operation and also money on capital for setting different branches to get customers. Just a domain name is enough to lead every person to a particular platform and open account without any stress.

The rise of online gambling, mobile apps, and virtual reality gaming has revolutionized the industry and attracted a new niche of players.
In the past, gambling was often seen as taboo or illegal, but in recent years it has become more accepted and even adopted in popular culture. This change in perception has led to a greater acceptance of gambling and an increase in the number of persons practicing it. Furthermore, the gambling industry has become more competitive, with casinos and online platforms constantly innovating and offering new and exciting games and experiences to attract players. This led to a diverse range of options for players to choose from, making the gambling industry more dynamic and attractive for a new range of users.

If we do speak about building some online casino platforms then it isnt easy as you have that pictured out.,It isnt really just that a simple domain name and some basic stuffs that needs to be put up.
Of course it would really be needing up some still some serious capital and serious development because if we do look around which the competition is high. You cant really just that make yourself that put up some business without those proper development and other stuffs because if you dont then you are just basically wasting up your money or capital on something that wont be recognized or something that will surely be failing up. Its true that in todays era where internet is everywhere and people do have their own phones then it would really be safe to say that accessing sites arent a problem.

It is really just that a matter on how well you would really be able to handle your business and making advantage on the tech that we do have today. It is really just that there are people who
do really make out those kind of engagement on the time that they would really be able to see up those good looking and having that fancy UI/UX platforms
and this what makes their attention would be caught on.

I sense same but sometimes those casino's that has branches all over the nation are more trusted, except for a national casino that based only in that particular jurisdiction and even as that when they established branches across the country you would see people wanting to patronized them the more than those who doesn't have office than just online to handle their complaint.

You know with a gambling site that has an office in particular country they always build trust meaning whatever that happens to any of their better's account or having difficulties passing kyc such person would be required to visit the casino head office or branch to resolve their issues with this strategies such casino stands in a better chance to sell more than those who doesn't have any branch rather than online.

And all this upgrade has aslo brought high number of addicted persons also because the rate at which people do gamble is of a very high volume and that's just the simplicity of how gambling have become. Gambling has indeed gotten a different view because of the rise of technology and how easy it has become to access it and also how much wins people have gotten from it too. People who had different taught about gambling especially the ill taught have had a change of mind because of the wins that other gamblers get on a steady.

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 advance of technology has made gambling very easier unlike in the past years .the evolution of technology has practically made everything easy and secured  as a result of series of automated systems.

Like in the early 1990's most countries in the world mostly Africans don't know much about mobile phone and then their method of gambling was practically analogue ,most times after placing bets they  will misplace the betting slip or wash it away while washing their wears but presently one can actually go to any betting shop and  place bet with desktop or laptops or  even with mobile phone and will save the data or the betting slip in the system for reference purposes .

presently ,there is an online betting (gambling) unlike in the past days where everyone will be struggling in the betting shop to collect their ticket or slip .
finally, technology has facilitated immensely in the growth of gambling and has made gambling very easier and less stressful and  also made people to be losing money as a result of visual gambling (soccer)  .

I think this is caused by the emergence of modern human from traditional values he has accustmed with in the past. I think this happens because of modern technologies which help users to get more chances to choose from. It's the same phenemena for social media influencers for the sake of subscribers and likes, users are ready to do almost anything although this is an artificial image. So, having seen enough of this day after day, an ordinary person who does not have a lot of dreams of a rich ideal life like those in social networks. Then, through gambling advertising, of which there are also a lot on the Internet now, he may thinks that this is an easy way to get rich.

and this what makes their attention would be caught on.

You needed to catch up with how the development progress from time to time, like what you said it's really a hard competition if you are in the side of the owner, not jsut to set up and just allow gamblers to play inside your casino but instead it's more on trying to established good connections from each gamblers who will use your platforms, with how the internet works, it's no longer hard to find a place where you can comfortably play a game.

It's a matter of trust and how you do well with each players who entrust their deposit to your service, people nowadays can easily access review and feedbacks so better to have that good customer service and a well trained support, your front end will serve as your enticing features though those primary ads still a good factors (UI and easy access site)

Indeed, with how the modern being developed it also cater this venue, gambling has been upgraded unlike before that you needed to play face to face now you just simply open your device and play in the comfort of your house/room. Something that really give gambler an easy access to enjoy and being entertained.

The technological development that included various fields is what has contributed most to the development of the gambling industry according to new, more technical and more sophisticated components and elements. Technical development in both the fields of game development and payment systems has contributed to changing individual awareness and facilitated the process of transitioning from gambling in its old concept to a new era.
The most important feature of this change is maintaining a greater degree of privacy, whether during play or in financial transfers, whether withdrawing or depositing. However, it should be noted that this development did not eliminate some traditional groups, such as those who prefer group competition games, such as poker fans, for example.
Indeed, with how the modern being developed it also cater this venue, gambling has been upgraded unlike before that you needed to play face to face now you just simply open your device and play in the comfort of your house/room.

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 factor I see that brought changes in the field of gambling is the cashout option because some years ago there where nothing like cashout. There are many different casino sites today compared to before. There where few betting options. There where only one casino hall in an area which people transport themselves from far and near to come and play gamble but today casino is almost everywhere. Those are my observations on what brought about change in the field of gambling.

I just noticed this thread, I started a similar thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5487001.0

Having been to both Vegas and the Hardrock in both Tampa and South Florida and also at the Atlantis in the Bahamas I have seen some fun Casinos.

It is cool seeing recently what hardrock is doing in FL with Hardrock Bet Application. It would be incredible to see more apps like that that allowed for more mediums of gambling.

In the topic I posted above I talk alot about VR and how that will transform the future of gambling as well. Honesltly I think the future of gambling in casinos will include the use of drugs lol.

For example, marijuana is being legalized in the US and legalized all over the world, cocaine has been legalized in sweden if I am not mistaken. Just as casinos are distrubuting alcohol one day they may also be licensed to distrubute cocaine and Mary J as well.....

But sincerely speaking the kind of lifestyle people are living now are more comfortable than before because at then we can say there were less mobile friendly. What I mean is that, most people only used the traditional ways of gambling where they don't need to visit the casino site or gambling site themselves to gamble except to they go to the local gambling shop to place their bet and as then they were doing it responsibly. Unlike now where everyone has access to internet facility, they can stay at their comfort zone to play gamble provided they have access to the site and have the requirements the site needs they will gamble.

Not only that, we have seen an immensely increase in numbers of casino everwhere. In the early days of early internet in my county, if I should count the numbers of betting companies that are operating legally here are not more than 2-3 but today, we have much more numbers now that are licensed and even more of them that are working illegally and lot of people patronize them of their services, this has directly increased number of employment of people in the country.

The casinos these days don't need to invest heavily on physical machine or even physical place for people to gamble, they have reduced cost of operation and also money on capital for setting different branches to get customers. Just a domain name is enough to lead every person to a particular platform and open account without any stress.

When it comes to accessibility then we can really tell that it do really changed up that much because  if we do tend to look around then the numbers of platforms or places on which we can possibly be able to play
is already that huge compared into those old years on where you could really be able to see a couple who do make out such offering, plus everything has been changed or fast paced up due to internet connection
on which in connection in between platforms and operation is really that seamless on which it is really that making things even more easier and more faster. This is why its not really shocking that
there would really be having that kind of main difference in between past and the current things that we are currently experience on which of course that changes is really that an inevitable thing to have.
It is really just that we do embrace on whatever those changes or advancement that we are really experiencing and thanks to that.

[LUCKMCFLY]

The changes that have happened between the casinos for a long time have to do with the idea of doing things right, if we look at ourselves as the person who approves the way of the old casinos, that is, if we look at the old Casinos for us the most reliable, what we have the most to spend our money on, because our money does not matter and we care about our vitality in this regard, each of us has things to do, things to offer in order to have fun and what we offer is ours. Well, if you are looking for something else like fun and welcome, then the changes that can be said to exist on the caisnos are very many, the biggest change that has surprised me and that I did not believe would happen so quickly was that of the KYC and that they prohibit the use of VPN, I believe that a person who is always in a casino and makes a deposit should not care about his or her membership, much less his or her identification, much less if he or she uses VPN, or does it matter what I Deposit and play, well That is a change for bad and Harmful, because it Harms many things.

Another change that I have Noticed that the Technology of this casino has become very evident is that for anything we have to leave more identification of or unusual, that is, for everything and a more demanding KYC if we need to make a quick withdrawal and more money, then this is something I like, this is the most significant change, and under which they try to eliminate privacy and anonymity, which I Find terrible, now, the Change you want to see is virtual reality, another level of games, that is more real , that when you enter an online game, you see a world similar to the one shown in the metaverses, intended for those who want to continue in the classic games that are there, but for the change that is not I have still seen that One , and it seems to me that they are Very slow when it comes to this , Especially for PVP games in poker, Black Jack , Among others.

And it has also made it possible for gamblers to access a wider range of games and gaming experience.

We can say that the increase that has occurred in the gambling business is an extraordinary thing, because so far gambling has continued to go against the grain, when there are still many countries in the world that prohibit gambling, but in fact the gambling business is growing rapidly nowadays, especially online-based ones, such as what you said, even now casinos are starting to improve and try to offer something that really makes their customers feel at home now compared to a few years ago which looked as if casinos didn't really care about the comfort of their customers, this change is nothing more of the very tight competition at the moment this happens in traditional casinos.

But for some reason I think that nowadays traditional casinos are starting to be abandoned even though if we want to enjoy the fun and sensation of gambling, we can clearly get more in traditional casinos than online, but nowadays gamblers no longer care about the sensation of gambling that they can feel and are more the tendency to win and the ease of gambling are the main priorities so that online gambling is the current solution.

As a gambling site owner or platform or casinos then of course you wont really be making yourself that getting left behind with those competitors on which we know that the best ones would really be able to hook up the most users on which means that the more revenue or profits that they would really be able to make. There's no exemption when it comes to this on which there would really be those people who would really be sticking whether online or offline as long they do able to feel up comfortable into the platform that they are dealing then this what matter the most.
The difference of past and present or future is that we can really be able to make out those comparisons on how gambling platforms nowadays do really easy to deal up with and able
to deal up gambling in the most easiest way possible.

And it has also made it possible for gamblers to access a wider range of games and gaming experience.

This is some of the major transformations that online and mobile gambling have brought to the industry. The ability to gamble from the comfort of home has significantly expanded the reach of the gambling industry. This convenience is particularly beneficial for people who dont like to be in a crowd or noisy environment. There are people who like to enjoy their games in a more relaxed setting.

Mobile gambling platforms offer various games and gaming experiences that provide something for everyone regardless of their preferences or skill levels. From traditional casino games like slots and poker to sports betting and live dealer games, the variety and diversity of options available online are virtually endless. But online and mobile gambling also come with their own set of challenges and risks. Easy access and 24/7 availability of these platforms can potentially lead to issues such as excessive gambling and addiction if not managed responsibly.

There where only one casino hall in an area which people transport themselves from far and near to come and play gamble but today casino is almost everywhere. Those are my observations on what brought about change in the field of gambling.

While cashing out is a good improvement in the gambling niche, it has its shortcomings, but the best optimization in gambling is the live gaming, where gamblers can play live bets while at home. I think trying to bring a virtual world into the gambling niche is quite crucial. A player can feel his presence in a virtual casino, seeing croupiers and dealer on screen. The world is moving digital, and all our activities are getting better online.

However, more features are expected to join the gambling world, including more cryptocurrency options, casinos will soon host their business on the blockchain technology. Securing the platform from hackers and malicious people. So, my outlook on this context is that gambling will get to a point where more people will understand that it's not a wrong habit, if it's done the right way. And the society accepting that responsible gamblers are worth a thumbs up. Until then, gambling and gamblers will definitely face bad publicity regardless of the advancement.

I would say that factor is the Internet, as that made online gambling possible. On other industry, there could be other factors that help them change that don't have anything to do with the Internet but I believe some things will remain as is, because that might be the only way for them to remain functional.

Your example of car and horse are not the same but I agree that many old model cars now are affordable because there are now cars with newer technologies than them. As for the gambling or playing slots, you still can play them in an offline casinos if you missed it. I'm sure they won't ever be phased out because real-life experience is still different than the online ones.

gambling in the past was like a luxury thing, tho I would categorize gambling as still a luxury if gambling happen in a city like Las Vegas, Macao or in country like Monacco and these city and country still using the past gambling like real gambling and interact with a machine that you can touch and gamble with real people.

I quite agree with you that the Internet has changed everything including the gambling world as well.

[TheUltraElite]

gambling in the past was like a luxury thing, tho I would categorize gambling as still a luxury if gambling happen in a city like Las Vegas, Macao or in country like Monacco and these city and country still using the past gambling like real gambling and interact with a machine that you can touch and gamble with real people.

I will be honest with you, those locations are still a thing of luxury among the well to do. Even the common man dreams of getting rich and going to Vegas wearing a black suit with some broads in hands and a glass of wine.

So even if that might seem like a thing of the past, they are still holding their culture and rich heritage to which tourists are attracted and willing to spend money on. Physical casinos never lose their charm. They are the once a while visiting place from the daily gambling on your PC on an online site.

What has changed is the mode of payments, the legal problems. The math remained same.
