The Future of Gambling

[Julien_Olynpic]

I think the future of gambling is more decentralization and more fairness. These are 2 fundamental things that need to be implemented in betting. Now the betting industry suffers precisely from excessive centralization and dishonest behavior of bookmakers and casinos. Organizations can, at their discretion, cut odds for anyone, reduce bet maximums, limit bets (on those sports where the player is profitable) and generally block an account. Perhaps there will be more decentralization in a special direction of betting, like Polymarket.com. But I expect that traditional betting with odds will become more fair. Perhaps competition will contribute to this. And perhaps new betting technologies.

VR is crap. It is getting overhyped.

Online casinos > real life casinos > VR casinos

On some occasions real life casinos might be better than online casinos but on no occasion VR casinos are better than online or real life casinos.

In other words, there is no future for VR. Not for me at least, I know that much.

That's what I think too. VR will be seen more as an option, something that complements the betting experience. I believe that innovation will come in new games, profit sharing, higher odds, something along those lines.

It is simply a technology which is at a very raw state of development, that is all. I believe it was the same when the first portable phones started to appear in the market, you know. They were of the side of a brick and you had to had a special little bag attaches to your belt, in order to carry them around with you, not even mention one could only make and receive calls with those, no text messages.
As technologies continue to advance, it will more likely form people to get a more appealing and affordable experience with virtual reality and casinos, in my opinion. As it stands for now, it is quite obvious one cannot expect most of people to own a Virtual reality set, in the other hand, it is more realistic to assume most of people own a smartphone, which is more than enough for them to gamble.

But I understand you lack of enthusiasm about VR, not long ago when Facebook started to talk about the Metaverse, it got all those invertors fired up on the idea of virtual worlds, only to deliver lackluster experiences with graphics out of reality 2000s. Only because Meta/Facebook failed on their mission, it does not mean someone in the future could try again and succeed, though.

When you overthink gambling and take it to the future, it will never bring you success. It is wrong if you make such a sum that you gamble to brighten your future. I think most of the time people lose money playing gambling, very few people can win but without experience people can never win. And if you have such a thought for the future, then it is good, but you must use the experience. If you lack experience, then you will never think like this. Also, it is best if you invest in something that will give you more money in the future. But you will never get high by gambling, but it will make you disappointed when you lose the bet, so you arrange your future according to good advice.

The future of gambling? Who's thinking of spending your entire life in gambling? It's no solidable idea because the best results are generated by working hard and planning good. Good advice brings about significant profits in the space, not minding or overlooking the possibility of steady milking in the system. Don't put hope on gambling because it's never something we ought to depend on in the system, rather scout for a good paying job or invest in good projects because that's one of the good means of staying actively in the market.

[entertheabyss]

Gambling does have a future? The newbies will place bets, having both down and good moments in the system but promised never to back down from achieving big winnings. Who amongst these gamblers can foreseen the future in gambling upfront? Probably everyone will raise their hands because they expects big winning and nothing more, we just have to kick harder and expects our winnings coming out to he stronger for every one of us. I'm standing my ground, I'll gamble but won't depend on the system because I'm aware of the shocking trends they actually brings to gamblers.

While VR technology offers more great experience in gambling, but I also have this feeling that this is not for long term existence. At the end of the day, people will still go back and give more appreciation to traditional casinos. Even online casinos cannot beat the fun and excitement that traditional gamblers feel when they are gambling.

Embracing VR technology for casinos might considered be a new innovation, that makes us more immersed into the virtual gambling world. However, not all gamblers are born under new technology, majority will still prefer to go with real life casinos compared to these casinos that are adapting VR technology.

Especially those who are mostly addicted to gambling are basically a threat to society and family. If a gambler is in the family and community, he can affect many more people.

You say that, as if you have never gambled. or playing gambling, but always losing in the game.
look at the development of the world of gambling now. Previously, it was very limited, gamblers had to come to the casino. Look, a few years ago, gamblers were able to gamble just by using gadgets. and what now? the world of gambling has penetrated the world of crypto. So won't the future of gambling change with changing times? Yes, that's for sure and it's not impossible that it will spread to Web3 too.

The truth is that I have not had the opportunity to try casinos or have experiences in virtual reality, and the truth is that I have seen videos and people stay stuck there watching, they don't care much about the rest, in fact a movie that is very famous that It is about one of these types of games, where there was a site of very addicted people who, when they were put to sleep, came out in another virtual reality world, and that for them was the best, and they seemed like drug addicts but with a virtual world.

I couldn't say that the metaverses are bad, maybe they are not improved or we are asking a lot and it is not ready yet, or we expect very advanced things like the ones we see in the movies, but I would really like to have a good experience with casino or any other game that has to do with virtual reality, it catches my attention, I don't know if any casino can have this implemented where we as players buy the equipment to be able to play, above all I would like it if they could do it to play poker , where you can recreate an environment where there is a table, chairs and we move around as if we were an Avatar, I think that these types of things are of progress and the future.

It may be that as time passes these things improve and you have a very good user experience and opinions change from bad to good.

I mean if you want my honest opinion I think we have pretty much hit the best we can get with gambling (at least in the US). You can go to Vegas and its truly a gamblers paradise. In Florida and so many other states casinos are run by the Indian Tribes, which honestly I think have done a pretty damn good job with their casinos. I personally think that the HardRock Casinos are pretty swanky, but I never go there. The few times I have ever gone were for business conferences, where I did walk around for a bit and enjoyed myself when you just sit around and observe its kind of a sad place really. Lots of folks there all look tired, maybe a little hungry and smug faces. The place is littered with the smell of smoke, you can see obviouis prostitutes walking about, I mean it really is quite a sight lmao. This is why I have never really taken a liking to it, but honestly it really does depend on the person and the place. Perception is reality. Thats why you see Next.io pumping all this talk about how online casinos will be more social in the future etc, and the online gambling experience is going to change, they will tailor it to your liking to keep you coming back. Maybe they'll have different customization, maybe they will send you some kind of package in the mail to go along with the online experience, who knows?! Now that I think of it though maybe these video game casinos and this whole idea of a social video game casino through VR wouldn't be all that bad, but I for one won't be wasting my money on these things. I would much rather have a chance at something a little more within reach.

[TheUltraElite]

The more you bring in these tech to gambling the more dark the entire industry becomes, because we should face it, casinos are running in order to make money from the players and the players are addicted to gambling and paying the casino to fulfill their addiction. With more technology they are going to be hooked to gambling so much that they forget about their lives and drain everyone else's money after they dry their own pockets.

The only good about this is that you can be a part of this industry and invest in these casinos if your known mate is developing one. Dont be on the buying side of things here, you will lose.

I am excited to see the comments. Please comment on where you think the future of gambling will be. What kinds of benefits will the gambling experience of the future bring in all walks of gambling? Will it be a good thing or a bad thing? What do you think makes the gambling experience the best in your opinion? Pick and choose any / all questions to be answered- I can't wait to see what everyone says.
Cheers,

There are certain tricks to gambling that you will never get addicted to gambling. I don't know if your grandfather participated in betting like horse racing and maybe lost or won money there. Gambling is good but must be taken as entertainment. If you can take gambling as entertainment then surely gambling will be very helpful for you. Those who use gambling as a means of earning money and constantly lose gambling, prove to everyone that gambling is bad and deadly. I always take gambling as entertainment because of which I never declare gambling as bad.

They have been talking about flying cars since before the Jetsons. The hologram idea has a Star Wars vibe to it that I like, and if you imagine that type of casino I think that ought to be interesting, I wonder what the view will be from the other end of that hologram though. If something like that does happen which I do also think it will, it will revolutionize gambling. Imagine poker tournaments with all the top guys just tuning in appering in their hologram as if they are in person.

it might be quite an interesting experience, but it doesn't seem as exciting as when we are directly involved in the match in virtual form presented using vr technology. by using vr technology, it could allow the audience to become spectators or the players can compete directly like in a casino. the sound and excitement of the game may be better displayed using vr technology compared to just a hologram which does not seem to provide a meaningful experience.

The problem with the Metaverse and Gambling is that people did not feel enthusiastic on it from the beginning because since the mid 2000's and the early 2010's there have been already many games and virtual experiences which have been more appealing and exciting to what meta/Facebook has to offer to their users in the 2020. Take a look at SecondLife for example, it is literally a complete Metaverse where people can do pretty much everything they want gambling included, not sure if it supports VR, though.
Even games from the 2000's like Grand Theft Auto San Andreas have casinos implemented which could easily be more appealing to the bad graphical and expensive experience Meta tried to shove into the throat of the Oculus Users. It was simply not worthnthe money, and to this day it is not.

Sure, with the time we all are going to see a good improvement on this area, the questions comes on whether it is going to be the next big thing or something more attractive will take over the attention of all gamblers out there.

VR technology can indeed change the gaming or gambling experience here. However, for now, the massive adoption is not yet here because the bottleneck of buying the gadgets for this requires considerable amount of money. Thus, only those who can afford can avail this experience.

But do remember, gadgets are getting cheaper because manufacturers can make cheaper ones which can be readily available in the market. Do take note, Chinese companies can easily manufacture a cheap gadget and distribute it. So, I won't be surprised that sooner or later, this VR tech will be available soon to most players.

Time is transforming and a lot of things are changing and this will change a lot of things in the way and manner in which we gamble,  take for example during the covid19 lot of people discovered things that they never previously discovered and this helped in many significant ways,  so same is the development and advancement in various ways and areas,  many will follow suit and a lot will come along the ways.

As we can see a lot of development and progress have been made in various ways and for that many of us will be glad to see a more expanded gambling scene in the future with new and improved technology that gives gamblers more freedom and expectations to push for the future.

Again, I don't think VR is going to revolutionize anything. It will be another device for you to use in your daily life and it will "die" as it is. I believe it will follow the same path as the tablet and become just another device, without revolution, just ease.

Well I sure hope you're right, people have enough time already looking at a screen on your computer or your phone for 8+ hours a day, imagine having one sucked over your face for that amount! I can see it becoming a brainwash machine honestly lol that's probably what it really is in the grand scheme of things, or not. Idk. Fishy when Apple the largest phone company and Meta the largest social platform both want even more of your attention ALL the time. They want to lead the pigs to slaughter all of their hopes and dreams and to be consumed by their chosen content.

Everything is changing with the advancement of technology new things are being discovered which are changing the pattern of everything. Gambling patterns will change The future of gambling is likely to evolve as gamblers can easily perform betting activities through technology. Gamblers' freedom may increase. New experiences will be created with technology.
