For starters, you can expect to see more slot games introduced to online casinos.

Security will Evolve for New Slots
In 2021, online slots will come with top-notch security technologies aimed to protect bettors from hackers. The security will use artificial intelligence to spot any suspicious IP addresses, malicious files, and threats players might face.
Using artificial intelligence to strengthen security measures means detecting any issues within seconds and sending reports to security departments who immediately neutralize the threats. Bettors will, therefore, not be worried about sharing their personal and bank details with online casinos.

Goa Introduces an Entirely Online Lottery Platform
In a move towards modernising India’s lottery sector, the state of Goa has introduced an entirely online lottery platform, sanctioned by the Directorate of Small Savings and Lotteries. This initiative, known as Great Goa Games, aims to bring transparency and convenience to an industry that has long grappled with allegations of mismanagement and fraud.
Ticket sales commenced Monday, with the inaugural draw set for Sunday. Rhiti Group, led by founder Arun Pandey, was granted the license to operate and market the platform. “Our mission is to democratize opportunities through technology,” Pandey stated, emphasizing the secure and user-friendly nature of the app-based system.
Goa government official Narayan Gad lauded the move as a step forward for the Indian lottery sector. “With our online lottery streamlining processes through technology, we are setting a new standard in the lottery industry,” Gad remarked. “The technology-based product will enhance transparency and ensure improved monitoring and regulation of operations.”
This development follows new rules governing online lotteries, introduced by the Goa directorate in February 2023. Currently, 13 states in India, including Goa, allow lottery games, though others have banned them due to concerns over gambling addiction and operational irregularities.
