For nearly as long as the Internet has existed, online gambling has existed. People were immediately interested in learning how to use the Internet to wager their money and see whether Lady Luck would smile down on them. The games that were accessible back then, meanwhile, were quite archaic. It was challenging to sit down and fully appreciate some of the better games that individuals had grown accustomed to playing when they visited real-world casinos. Everything has changed.

The gaming sector is among the most open to new developments and modifications. The gambling industry has been particularly receptive to employing VR and AR technology to improve the games since it is constantly looking for new methods to make it easier for players to play the games they want.

What Is VR?

A unique three-dimensional universe called virtual reality was made possible with the assistance of a computer. Interactions are possible inside this environment thanks to specific electrical equipment. It provides a realistic impression of the surroundings to the player.

A VR headset, such as the Valve Index, Meta Quest 2, or HTC Vive Pro 2, is required to perceive this world. It is intended to immerse the user in the setting and make them feel like a part of the game. These gadgets provide an immersive experience thanks to advancements in ocular tracking and cutting-edge graphics. With the inclusion of stronger backdrops, it also creates 3D images and videos.

Additionally, VR reconstructs the sizes and dimensions inside the still 2D pictures. Interactive hardware and software are used to enable VR devices. Players may utilize VR in online gambling on desktops, laptops, and a few select mobile devices, which is excellent for gaming.

Online Gambling And VR

The finest VR gambling operators appreciate regular contact with the game creators most of all, though.

 

What Is Needed to Play at VR Gambling Sites?

Because they are so much more immersive and entertaining, VR casino games surpass live dealer platforms in addition to being more realistic.

Moreover, you don’t need to go anywhere like the Omaha Virtual Reality Arcade because you already have everything at home. Virtual reality slots allow you to play for hours without leaving your house. Additionally, may you participate in virtual reality competitions? That’s accurate. The inaugural international VR Hold ’em event was held in Texas. If you enjoy the intensity of competition, virtual reality gambling will be perfect for you.

 

VR And Online Game Genres

The following is a list of game categories that have made use of the opportunities provided by virtual reality in the gaming industry:

 

Adventure VR Games

These games have fantastic visual quality and are very remarkable. They are ideal for spending hours away from this world. Virtual reality adventure games are entirely built around puzzle-solving and discovery. The gameplay will win you over. Investing in this technology is something you’ll never regret. It is irrelevant whether it is a Play Chat VR, Oculus Rift, or a VIVE headset. Arizona Sunshine, Batman, and Astro Bot are a few of the well-liked VR adventure games.

 

Driving Simulations

The Virtual Reality in these driving sims is of the highest caliber. Notably, our driving experience while using this technology is consistent with the one we have on the road. Players will experience driving like a pro. Virtual reality driving simulators have dominated the market with their unmatched visuals and superb audio features.

The simulations are improving, becoming more realistic and thrilling as technology advances. Gran Turismo Sport and Project Cars are two well-liked simulators for driving automobiles. Live for Speed and Driveclub VR are two VR-based vehicle racing games that have dominated the market.

 

Shooter Games

The trendy video games are first-person shooters. They raise the bar for virtual reality. These games’ success is primarily due to players’ addiction to progressing through the game’s levels.

Players may find the game’s realistic images, music, and other elements. The realism is enhanced with diegetic noises like footsteps, flying items, locking firearms, and other noises. Robo Recall, Onward, and Gunheart are some of the best games in this category.

 

VR Casinos

Beyond 3D, VR Casinos are another VR-based gaming genre that introduces you to the casino interface. Gamers may obtain realistic casino experiences and relish their time in the gaming world with the help of VR headsets. Blackjack tables with live dealers, Real slot machines, and some roulettes are available in the games.

Along with this, a player may continue connecting with other players in games like VR Blackjack, VR Casino, and Casino VR Poker while playing their preferred VR in online gaming at a bar.

 

Conclusion

Before casinos utilize Virtual Reality more often, it will probably take time for the technology to become broadly accepted. However, more and more operators may board the VR train to provide their gamers with something fresh and exciting. VR, in our opinion, will shape the future of the online gaming sector. Therefore, we are excited to witness how this creative and inventive industry grows.

  • Ventures division of the ZEAL Group leads 1 million Euro investment round of British prize draw start-up
  • Existing angel investors are also participating in the financing round

 

ZEAL has led a financing round in the successful UK prize gaming platform DAYMADE at a valuation of 12 million Euro via its Ventures division. In addition to ZEAL Ventures, other existing investors – several business angels with decades of experience in the gaming industry – are also participating in the round. DAYMADE will use the new funds to further scale its UK business.

ZEAL Ventures has been invested in DAYMADE since 2019 and has supported the successful British start-up in recent years not only financially, but also through ongoing advisory in areas such as strategy, regulation, marketing and organization.

DAYMADE: A British Success Story

DAYMADE was founded in 2019 with the aim of revolutionizing prize draws. The British start-up offers players the chance to win holidays, unforgettable experiences, and lifestyle prizes, while supporting a good cause.  Through a partnership with Eden Reforestation Projects, a tree is planted with every purchase. With this innovative concept, the company’s offering appeals particularly to a younger generation of adults. Its success is also reflected in the financials: DAYMADE has increased its revenue by nearly 10x in the last four years. This growth has been achieved at sustainable, attractive unit economics (revenue and costs per player). The company also achieved profitability in 2023.

Cooperation with potential

“We are delighted to once again support the DAYMADE team with a significant investment,” says Juliane Gutsmiedl, Investment Manager at ZEAL Ventures. “For several years now, we have been observing a trend towards prize games, which are particularly popular with younger target groups such as millennials and adults in Generation Z. Companies like DAYMADE are therefore significantly contributing to shaping the future of the gaming industry. For this reason, we are delighted to continue our collaboration with DAYMADE and to continue exchanging ideas on a new gaming and entertainment experience.”

“We are thrilled to have ZEAL Ventures on board again”, says Andrew Broekelmann, CEO of DAYMADE. “Their continued support is a huge vote of confidence in our mission to re-imagine prize-based draws for a new generation of players. This funding will fuel our growth and product innovation in the UK. And it doesn’t stop there – as DAYMADE grows, so does our ability to make a real difference. With over 1.3 million trees planted through our charity partners, we’re just as committed to our planet as we are to our players. We look forward to making a greater impact, together.”

COSY UP WITH WILD WINS AND MAGIC MULTIPLIERS IN LUCKY CUSHIONS BY BOLDPLAY

Published

on

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Get ready to put your feet up and ease into a world of cascading wins in Lucky Cushions by Boldplay – the brand-new cluster pays slot where perfect pillow placement can result in players landing consecutive wins on each and every spin!

Played across an expanded 8×8 gameboard, action takes place in front of a cosy backdrop littered with colourful cushions and players will need to put together clusters of matching icons to trigger a symbol cascade. Whenever this happens, all cushions featured in the cluster will be removed from play as new ones drop from above to fill their place, potentially creating additional payouts.

What makes Lucky Cushions comfortably stand out from other cluster pays slots, however, is its exciting bonus features. Firstly, on each new round, players will notice that one non-wild icon will be selected at random to receive an additional multiplier. Any cluster wins that this special symbol appears in will see the regular win boosted by the multiplier value for even better rewards.

On top of that, the game’s wild symbol not only substitutes for all regular icons to complete winning clusters, but when it does, all matching cushions elsewhere on the reels will also be removed, potentially triggering an improved cascade. This effect can also stack after each new cascade, with players able to land consecutive wins on each game round.

To make those well-furnished wins even easier to come by, whenever a spin takes place where no clusters appear and there’s a matching symbol in one of the adjacent reel spaces, it will magically swap positions to complete a cluster and give players an additional chance to start a cascade.

Speaking on this cosy new addition to the Boldplay slot catalogue, Head of Design, Marcus Taylor said: “With its cascading reels, wild wins and big-money multipliers, Lucky Cushions is comfortably the most exciting cluster pays slot we’ve developed so far and we think players are going to love settling in for a session where multiple prizes are available on each and every spin.

“Featuring an expanded 8×8 gameboard, second-chance wins and a pair of rewarding in-reel bonus features, Lucky Cushions is an innovative addition to our line-up that’s perfectly optimised for mobile devices, making it’s a must-have title for all online operators who offer Boldplay slots.”
