2021 is, and technological development is at its peak at all times. And so it will be in the future when the scale of development progresses even more. As time goes on, technology is constantly improving and reaching previously unimaginable heights. The online gaming industry has taken over casinos on land and has become increasingly popular in recent years. It slowly started in the nineties, but the convenience of playing from home instead of traveling to a physical casino had to win at some point. However, real casinos are far from the past. They also apply new technologies to keep up with the times and offer their customers the best possible experience.
Mobile gaming
While mobile games are the kind of revolutionary new thing introduced a couple of years ago, we’ll see an even more significant increase in the trend of video game availability via the mobile app. So now you can have and play your favorite casino games on your phone. With mobile games, you can access games like slot machines and poker on the go, no matter where you are. As casinos try to retain their players and attract new younger players, operators must develop and constantly upgrade casino software to provide entertainment to their customers at all times.
Live playing
This segment of gambling is not new either, but it will stay popular in the future. Live gambling allows us to play table games in front of live dealers and test against other players. With live streaming, everything happens in real-time, which means the dealer in front of you is doing his job somewhere on the other side of the world. As Internet connections grow in stability and speed, we will have more options; with more casino rooms making it easier to gamble live and more and more games coming out with better streaming quality.
Virtual reality
One of the latest additions to the gaming world is virtual reality. They are now spreading further in many other industries, and gambling is no exception. With VR headsets, you’ll be able to have a unique experience and visit a real-life Las Vegas casino without ever leaving your home. There are online casinos that already apply this technology. So now, with VR, you can play a game that will make you feel like you are in a real casino. As VR technology improves, games will become more complex and realistic. For example, let’s say you play VR poker live. You will be able to see the other players at the table and read their reactions.
Cryptocurrencies
One of the most significant advantages of using cryptocurrencies in gambling is that users can remain anonymous. All you need to do is invest money from your wallet, and transactions are done through the public blockchain book. In this way, your data remains protected, as it is the most common subject of hacker abuse. It is also worth noting that crypto casinos have attracted more and more players due to the increased chances of winning than traditional online casinos. The payout percentage is higher in most cases because processing costs are kept to a minimum. Of course, everything comes with a specific risk. But maybe that’s why crypto casinos will continue to grow for years to come.
Face recognition
As the development of the internet and technology increases, so does cybercrime. In 2021, casinos will introduce new measures to combat a transaction’s hijacking or someone who assumes your identity and theft of your account. To prevent identity theft, websites will require you to pass a face recognition test to approve the transaction. By doing so, they assure their players that only you can access your account and make a deposit with a payment method in your name.
Improvement of the games
And as the possibilities for game development expand, they can be created to look as good as possible. A few years ago, 3D entered the world of internet automata; and in 2021, we can expect to have more and more games with 3D animations. Many players have withdrawn from playing games because of the repetitiveness and predictability of such games. However, 3D brought them back a lot, offering a new look and a whole fresh feel to the game. Besides, we will see games with a more creative design. Suppliers are now researching to find some of the most popular topics. Providers can also offer mobile games with high-quality graphics, so they stop looking like blockages and pixels. As smartphones become as strong as the desktops and laptops themselves, they can run more demanding programs; thus, the games are more enjoyable.
The smartwatch revolution
Betting through a smartwatch is now a real thing. In recent years, people have been using their mobile phones and tablets to connect to online casinos. Smartwatches are now set to take over as a more convenient and affordable option. Wearable technology has always been popular. It will continue to be so in the years to come, with more game software developers creating new games that can be easily integrated into all devices.
Cloud gaming
The idea of cloud gaming is that we will no longer have to play computers or consoles with powerful graphics hardware. All heavy booting will be done “in the cloud.” Cloud gaming has a lot in common with video streaming. The cloud game server starts the game and transmits a game video to you. Your keyboard, mouse, and controller input actions are sent over the network to the gaming cloud server. The remote server does all the hard work, while your computer only receives streaming video (and audio) and sends input commands. A cloud game is like a streaming video service but interactive.
