Why aren't social casino's an actual social casino?

[Crypto Library]

First things first, the definition of a "social" casino probably varies from person to person. What I mean by social casino, is an actual SOCIAL casino. I don't necessarily mean sweepstakes or playing with fake money. I just mean an interactive experience where it feels like you are going to casino with a friend. Not my friend just holding his phone and I sweat alongside next to him on facetime you know?

I just think doing things with friends or in front of an audience makes things more fun and exciting. Even when I'm at the casino playing roulette or craps, it super easy to make friends (not always the case but you know what I mean lol).

I wonder if there is any market for this, or if this is some allegory where like "wHy ChAnGe SoMeThInG iF bRoKen, cAsInO aLrEaDy PrOfiTaBle". What do you guys think? Are the selfish casino operators holding back true innovation or what!?

Actually, it is possible to do gambling as you mentioned only in limited cases among friends or acquaintances. And this is not available every week or every month. For example, in my case, if I say that due to my work or studies, I have to transfer from my own area to another city and here I do not have any friends with whom I can gamble on any specific game or on any sport.

So even if I don't think that what you said about actual social casinos is preferable, it is not possible to implement them in all cases. In this case, online casinos give us full privacy and access to gambling from home. And in this case, we can sometimes gamble with our friends such as the games blackjack etc.

Social interaction in a casino is actually rare, this features are likely not profitable or the casino finds this feature not interesting reason why it’s hardly provided. I once used a casino where players are privilege to Join chats although there’s a wager requirement but, definitely the casino provided a live chat where players communicate, I find it strange interacting with people you don’t know. Op might just consider a land base casino as suggested otherwise it’s really difficult having a well social interaction in an online casino.

There was a time I was also thinking of it. Casinos online should have a chat for gamblers to interact which I made mentioned in my previous comment. […snip…]Casinos should provide chat box for gamblers. That is a good idea.

There is a c chat feature… I don’t know what category of chat feature you’re clamoring for but so far you can interact with others through  open messages then it’s a chat feature and I’m sure most reputable Casinos have a chat feature to promote social interactions among those that want it .

I’ve used both Rollbit and Duelbits , they both have the chat features specifically .

There was a time I was also thinking of it. Casinos online should have a chat for gamblers to interact which I made mentioned in my previous comment. And for the moment, there are some casinos that use Virtual Reality (VR). In my university day, a Roommate was using that. He was playing games online and he was also chatting with participants too. Casinos should provide chat box for gamblers. That is a good idea.

Agreed. Chatbox is almost available on all casino that I played. It was frequently called as trollbox since player usually post nonsense messagw in there.

Live games chat feature is much better and I believe all casino that offers live games have this feature because it gives opportunities to chat with dealer and co-player.

I’m always using chat feature to interact with other players in case they are playing dumb on a live blackjack table.

Little do some people know that gambling has to be social and they are the one to make it so, if you play a game that does not get the familiarity of being Social when playing, you may not enjoy the benefits of the social friendly you wanted, this is why everyone must play the game of their choice in which they think is the best for them from a casino, we are the one to bring the phone out of it and make it more of an entertainment and fun to play.

I didn't see that feature in stake, B.C game when I was using it and some others with Local Casinos. Or am I the one that have not found those features in those casinos I was using? And if those features are there, they should not hide them but make it visible for everyone to use the chat box to interact with one another and game predictions can be getting from those chat boxes. I have not seen them in any casinos I have used. Probably I have not getting the places they are.

I think there’s a reason on why some online gambling platforms avoid implementing a “chat box” inside their website for interaction and communication.

First, it can attract scams by way of asking for a loan. If you’re able to communicate inside the online gambling platform, it would be easier for people to provide loans for desperate gamblers only to scam them in the process.

Second, with a chat box implies that you have to hire a moderator to regulate the conversations to avoid spams and other unwarranted behavior.

Last, it does cost money to avail these services and the proven formula is to create a website interactive enough to capture the attention of gamblers.

In conclusion, if you truly want to have that social experience, then it is heavily recommended that you instead visit land-based/physical casinos. Having to integrate this experience in an online platform would only bring more harm than good in the overall process.

That’s why I specifically added Duelbits and Rollbit as the ones I’ve used  but nevertheless, I just checked both Casinos you  mentioned I.e Stake and bc.game and I can confirm they also have the chat feature just like the two casinos I mentioned in my previous post.. Maybe  you didn’t just notice because you weren’t really interested in it but you can check them out now to clear your doubts..

There is a good solution for that: go to a physical casino

But maybe you are thinking more of something along the lines of AR/VR? Maybe there are solution for that or maybe it is yet an untapped market. Although personally I would rather play in a physical casino. Can't emulate drunkenly losing all your money...

Maybe keep on digging and you might find gold with your idea. You just need to narrow it down.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Before online casinos, gambling was done in a land based casino and it use to be fun because you don't just socialize but also enjoy the environment and music. It's the best of fun you can get in gambling in a physical casino. I believe they still exist in your country, you should visit one if that's what you want. You ain't tied to only online casinos.

It's not even now that online casinos will be designed to have all the features of physical casino, it going to take time as the industry continues to adopt more new features an add to the industry. Many things that one gets to experience at the land based casinos,  the energy and feeling can not be matched, even the way some people watch while others play and they also cheer.

I will check it when I am visiting them again. As I have said, I was not having the thought of checking them on the casinos and another thing again they are not visible for easy access. The thought of checking that feature has not come to mind since is not visible. If it on a visible area we would have seen it. There was a time, I wanted to ask the public as the Op asked.

There is live chat where they can interact, and then the casino has its own forum where they can interact as well, so what are they holding back?

If they want an experience like sitting next to a person, then you need to visit the real physical casino, because that is where they can physically present, everything else will be just virtual.

I agree on some points. Online casinos aren't really designed for social interaction; the focus is more on the game itself. Even when there's a chat feature, it's usually quite limited or rarely used. Still, some people enjoy this little exchange of messages, especially in live games. But if the idea is to truly socialize, a physical casino ends up offering a much more natural experience.

You have to give us the details you want us to understand. If there is a new innovation, it's welcome in online casinos because players want new features that can add to the excitement of the games.

Physical casinos are the real social casinos because players, visitors, and staff have direct contact; they also offer entertainment and shows that online casinos cannot provide, since they are for personal experience.

This is why both types of casinos should exist: for gamblers who want to socialize and for gamblers who want to play anywhere, anytime.

Sticking the word "social" on anything is just a marketing gimmick, a way to distinguish and try to give a casino a unique edge, when they're really just all the same. It doesn't make sense really because people automatically associate real world casinos with socializing, at least anyone who has been in one before will know that you are surrounded by people. There is nothing special about a casino that markets itself in this way, but you'd realize that after spending 10 minutes on such a site if you've ever been to another online casino. They all have interactive chats and support that should help you on demand, they all show recent wins by other players, but they want to keep you on their site as much as possible because more engagement likely leads to more money for the owners.

No matter how good a social casino is, it's still an online platform. You can't replace the experience of playing at a land-based casino with a social casino, it's clearly different. So, if you want a more authentic experience, you'll have to go directly to a land-based casino and experience the atmosphere there. Social casinos, on the other hand, offer a more limited experience, offering digital entertainment accessible from their devices. However, most online casino platforms now offer public chat and live dealer games, which can provide a more interactive experience. This should be closer to what you're looking for.

[btc78]

bring a friend to any casino and it will be a social one. or come up to strangers and strike conversations. i don’t know exactly what you want but if it’s the feeling of actually going to a casino with people through online then it’s not yet possible but could be,

[r_victory]

Let me see if I understand: you want to play at an online casino while "watching" other people? Like on a video call between friends?

What really prevents this isn't a lack of innovation or the selfishness of a casino, but rather the fact that not all players want to be seen; that's exactly why they seek out online casinos. If they wanted to socialize with other people, they would go to a physical casino. It's not a feature that everyone asks for.

[pixlpunks]

So the social casino you mean is more like a social experience.
Are you a fan of The Hangover movie? Because the casino scene instantly pop up in my mind after I read your post.

I'm also interested in the social part. But it's hard to get that experience in an online casino.
I am from a country where gambling is illegal. There is no casino here.
I really want to feel the atmosphere, walking into a casino, playing games, chatting with other players (just like being in a bar, drinking and chatting), winning, and celebrating with friends. I am thinking of something like a Roblox game, but with an online casino feature, so we can interact (not just via a chat box) with other players.

The closest thing an online casino can do is probably integrating an interactive virtual space like Gather [1].
Check out this video to learn more about Gather.

I am not sure if a casino like this already exists or not, but it would be fun to have this kind of experience, especially for online players who want more than just playing and spending time.

This right here, yes yes yes! This is what I am exactly talking about. This is what I mean to be creative about how to solve for this problem where it's like "How do we bridge multiplayer gambling?". I still see a lot of people copping out for the answer of "Just visit a land casino", like let's use our brains people. I think we need to follow the creativity here and not be so lackluster.

[DubemIfedigbo001]

I'm speaking from my ass here, but I would argue multiplayer video games generate MUCH more revenue than single player games. Why should a casino game be any different? Money is just a proxy for a high score lol.

This is true, I remember when we're mandated to buy some subscriptions to gain multiplayer advantage on shooting games and we could talk and communicate strategies even with strangers and friends alike that are team members over the site. Maybe that scenario would've made casinos more interactive and make it another social meeting place and the niche would make more people to want to gamble since they'll be meeting up with friends over there, but be sure addiction would be higher.

I've never seen such a buildup in a site aside from a physical casino and it would be interesting to have one actually if the casinos are willing.
