As this year ticks by, we will look back on this year as an important one for the technology industry. This year is one of the biggest we have ever had for changes in the tech industry with AI growing more than ever before and being used by bigger companies for things that humans could do.
This is on the heels of the SAG-AFTRA strikes the year prior and still some of the big companies are not changing their stance on the use of AI. Now, we understand you might be reading this and not understand the relevance between this and casinos, but, the link is there. Technology is a major thing in the casino industry and the growth of online casinos is determined by the changes of technology.
With that being said, looking at the changes in technology, how will these changes affect the casino industry that we all love?
The Use Of AI
We think that there is one thing that is guaranteed in the future of online casinos and that is the use of AI. AI will be used in the casino industry for many things like security, customer service and game personalisation. Game personalisation will be the biggest and this means when you play live casino games, the AI will automatically make the experience personal to you and what you like.
Why This Is Big For The Industry
AI may be used to make the gaming experience for the players better than it ever was. However, this could also provide some issues for the industry and especially its employees. The gambling industry has been built off the hard work of the game developers that have made the industry as big as it is.
Using AI in the future could mean the jobs that these people have had could be at risk which creates a negative impact on the industry. Hopefully, the betting industry understands the workers’ importance and does not disrespect the work they have put in.
VR and AR
Improving the games should be at the top of every casino’s priority list because this is why the bettors are on the sites. This is why AR and VR are such an exciting thing for the future of online casinos as they can open up opportunities and make the games we all love that much more exciting.
How Can They Do This?
We have already seen the use of VR with devices like the Oculus Rift, but technological improvements have seen VR become even better than it already was. There are a lot of things that VR can do, the most exciting being the mimicking of physical venues. This will allow players who are at home to have the experience of the online casinos without needing to leave the house.
Now onto AR, we have the possibility of the game overlaying your real-life surfaces that are in front of you. This could mean the very desk you are sitting at right now could turn into a casino table right in front of your eyes.
These are both massive positives for the industry as casino games are some of the best parts of the gambling industry and the best part of playing them in physical casinos is the atmosphere of being at the casino. If VR or AR can help players at home have this experience then online casinos may become untouchable.
Better Mobiles
Our final point is a more general change that is happening year by year and that is the improvements in mobiles. Each year tens of new phones come out and are better internally than the last. If this is what’s happening in a year then imagine the changes in five years.
With the popularity of mobile casinos being so big, game developers and casino sites are making games that are optimized for mobiles meaning that soon the biggest casino games will run especially well on our mobiles.
