The development of original IP games for casinos.

[mcdouglasx]

Casinos are a multi-million dollar industry, just like console gaming. Just like the console wars a few years ago, there was complete exclusivity for some IPs, and this maintained a specific audience for each console, just like Mario and Nintendo. I wonder if this is just starting or if it was designed for online casinos.

I'm not talking about rehashing something that already exists; I'm talking about creating original games that grab users' attention and guarantee player loyalty.

Perhaps this is the future of casinos. Imagine having exclusivity for a specific game, and if it were successful, casinos would have a ton of customers almost guaranteed.

For those who dont know what IP  (Intellectual Property) games mean, because I see a lot of persons are avoiding this topic but I think this is unique.
IP games are games that portrays a true character from a story, brand or design. For example Call of duty, Grand Theft, God of war, Spider Man.

When I was growing up, I played Super Mario in SEGA. So imagine these games and their characteristics integrated into an online casinos, it will attract more people into gambling.

Well, if you have been paying enough attention to gambling industry, then you would realize there are already several casinos which take the time and economical effort to develop their own games and original experiences, only available for people with an account on their casino. I am talking about the "originals", Stake is a good example of a casino which is continuously developing games and versions of already existing games for their exclusive gamblers.

The most important part of those games (in my opinion) is the fact they are probably fair and also keep an artistic consistency which is very polished. It does not matter of a casino manages to create games, of them are not memorable and keep gamblers coming once and once again, that is something which Stake have nailed with many of their originals.

Exclusive IP is already here, it is not a thing of the future.  While live-casino providers create branded, operator only tables to increase loyalty, operators use in house or exclusive titles to stand out & draw in customers, think of DraftKings own studio games.  Additionally some slots are completely blocked off,  Big wins frequently feature BetMGMs exclusive progressive, MGM Grand Millions.  Timed exclusives are excellent for player choice & liquidity however poor for acquisition & retention.  Instead of just copycat lobbying, I think we will see more console war vibes, content + promos + jackpots and etc...  Select the platform that offers the exclusives you truly desire.

I'm very sure that casinos use IP addresses to customize the layout and most especially  fiat currency for their users however what I am not sure of is if there are some games on some casinos that are tired to a particular region. Games that most people like on casinos are almost similar and making it accessible to only one region in particular may hinder people that like that game from gambling with them.

Aside from that, if it's a saud decentralized casino then trying to collect user data without their consent won't go well at all.

I see you are heading somewhere. Exclusive games from casinos may up as competitive edge, like exclusive titles for consoles. Presently, some casinos operate same library for slots and table games coming from huge providers, making them interchangeable. When a Casino have what it takes to lock down an original, addictive, and games well-designed, then it sure can tender reason why players should be around. Thej difficulty there now is games from casino solely depends on trust, fairness, and regulatory approval, in which case innovation go slower than in gaming. True after some time, exclusivity may be the one major means casinos compete.

I think the difficult part of creating exclusive casino games is that they are fair, have good math behind them, without vulnerabilities that people can exploit. Aesthetics and such are the least important. Another important thing is that it is fun, and creating something from scratch that is fun requires a lot of effort and artistic talent.

So what makes intellectual property valuable?
People have to desire it in some way. I wouldn't be interested in slots from a character I don't know as much as I would be to a character I've gotten accustomed to. That's if we're judging just by the character.

But most players will go to certain slots just because they have high rewards and nothing else. Usually when slots with intellectual property come out they're more bland so I personally tend to avoid them.

Thank you for explaining what O.P meant to the understanding of everyone about what an I.P game means, and as such, I would have also like to ask,  How will the profits be generated form these IP games? Since the majority of the IP games you suggested are all adventural games, such as Spider man, Sega that makes somehow entertaining,  and wants wants to play more, unlike casino games are are designed basically for profit maximization.

This explains why there are some countries where you can't play specific games, more also about licensing. I remember I watched a documentary about this, and during the early days of computer/console gaming, these were the problems of most publishers.


But now, with games for casinos. I believe it also applies the same, and considers also different laws, restrictions in different countries or jurisdictions. But then again, right now, a lot of piracy happening ,especially ithe n gaming era, so I believe we can relate it to some illegal casino platforms that operating without proper license or government documents.

I dont know how profitable this would actually be...
Look, the most casinos dont developed a single exclusive game beacause Its much cheaper and faster for them  integrate with platforms that already offer a wide range of oportunities than spend time and a lot of money to developing something of their own.

Its true that online casinos are very competitive, and have something "exclusive" could differentiate there to not only attract new players but also prevent them from leaving for other platforms because they wouldn't find that same game elsewhere.
The problem of that it is not cheap to develop something unique in design and programming, invest in marketing it to make it recognized and without being sure it will be well-received by players... its something only the biggest casinos can attempt.

Some casinos have their own unique games, but you must understand if what they're mainly offering are games from software providers. That's the most convenient way to go. Choosing from over thousands and thousands of games from the menu of trusted and popular brands like Evolution, Pragmatic, Betsoft, and many more is certainly cost-beneficial than developing your own.

Especially these days when casinos are sprouting everywhere like mushrooms, they probably have to save the effort, money, creativity, and all and just collaborate with known providers. It also keeps them from taking risks producing their own unique games only to be turned down by the gambling public.

Also, it isn't their forte. Why don't they just get a cheap fixer to process their Curacao license, contact software providers, and voila their casino is already up and running, right?

Developing an original game requires costs from the casino, and the expected profit is not guaranteed. After all, it is unknown whether this game will attract gamblers and keep them. It's easier to use games from a provider. However, some casinos create exclusive games because they need to stand out from the competition. The competition in this industry is quite high.

I remember there was a casino on the forum that had an original game with a toilet theme in the entourage of ancient Greek mythology. Well, this is a highly specific topic, designed for a certain mentality, if the casino is focused on a particular region. In general, original games are always interesting, at least to see what's unusual there.

I think that there’s a bit of nostalgia at play with casino games. For example, Plinko has always been one of my favorites. There’s also only so many games you can play. People just want the classics and entertaining slots. I don’t think they’re looking to spend their time learning any new games to play.

I think OP wasn’t referring to IP address but to intellectual property games. honestly, I have no idea if these games are already in casinos or if they even could be, that’s why I’m curious .. I’d like to know which casinos are already offering them.

Personally, I’ve got a lot of favorite games I used to play when I was younger, before I even learned to gamble online. If those kinds of games are being adapted into casino formats, that’s pretty interesting and definitely worth knowing about.

Some casinos have their own original gambling games. But I guess that will not be the reason why their customers stay longer in their places. The customers will play longer if they are comfortable with the casino services and spend more money.

Having original games in the casino cannot be the only key to success for casinos. Giving the best services to their customers will be the thing that casinos will do. If their customers are satisfied, they will return many times and play many gambling games. It is about how the casino serves its customers best.

Creating games is not cheap or easy so they need to go for extra effort that may pay them off or not but why they need to go through all these hassle when they have game providers who also got reputation by sharing their games across many casinos that itself can be a positive in some way. And casinos also focus on having originals to an extent but it doesn't really make a big diffeence because the concept are similar in one or other way and the basic template will be, crash game, dice, slot, plinko, roulette, crash and a few more only.

Honestly, this question should be directed to the OP, he might have more idea how everything would work. In the meantime, IP games and the original owner of the brand must have an agreement before game providers use their characters to create a casino game. If game providers do it without seeking the consent of the original owner of the characters they may be sued to court.

This is what I’m looking forward on the casino these days however they just copying known games and just do some tweak on the visual representation but still it’s the same mechanics.

Also gamblers relies on the payout system rather than the actual game when choosing what games to play. It’s useless to offer unique games now if the payout system is just the same.

Take example by the success of slot games. This game becomes popular because it offers high maximum multiplier. Slot provider nowadays increases their maximum multi on insane level just to attract customers.

If you see the meaning of the business, of course the exclusivity system, the online casino does not want to do it, I am sure if only to limit access to users or the community will Online casino revenue decreases, I think the exclusivity system is not suitable for the online gambling industry.

This means that if a business such as gambling is limiting just for certain individual access and just wants to get commercial benefits, I think it's not The idea of ​​the online casino, they prioritize free access even though IP can be contracted directly to the casino itself.
