A look at the way things are changing in the online gaming world.

Entertainment is something human beings have always enjoyed. From the time of the ancient Greek people, to the famous Romans, even till today, humans have always looked for and devised means of taking care of boredom. In the present day world, one of the most popular ways of taking care of boredom is through online gaming.

Casino and gambling games have been one of the most popular internet activities in the last couple of decades, but a new form of gambling online now has its time in the limelight – CS:GO betting. Players are now able to visit some of the top CSGO gambling sites like CSGOBook.com where they can bet on matches, gamble skins and even trade their items to upgrade them or for real money.

As an industry, the world games market made revenue of up to $150 billion in 2019, and a greater part of this money came from online gaming. The UK online gaming sector is worth up to £2 billion, according to the 2019 estimate, and this is a revelation of how big the industry is.

Online gaming continues to grow in popularity as a form of social interaction, and because of the convenience involved. This is akin to the technology that propels it and the fact that it is always advancing and innovating. Further growth is expected in the online gaming niche, which covers the video gaming and casino gaming subsectors in the future. Having said all these, we have the pleasure of ruminating on the four major ways through which change is coming to the online gaming arena. Read and understand these.

Free Slots

When you consider online casino gaming currently, you will realize that something is changing in the way that players approach it. The popularity of free slots is growing by the day, and this is because many people like to enjoy or test the online casino games without any monetary risk. The best of these free slots come in different designs and themes that players can choose from, and this makes them very attractive. Some of them are even adapted from very popular TV shows and movies.

Most of them can be played on any device at all, be it mobile or PC and they mostly require no downloading. With them, people can conveniently spend their spare time. Another thing that attracts people to the free slots is that, with them, you are able to test the new games free of charge, so as to ascertain if they are good for you and if you will like to go ahead and bet your money on them. These types of online slots are offered in almost all the online casinos, and they are ideal for you to start with, so as to know if they are worth playing, before you delve into the real money version.

Augmented Reality

The technology behind Augmented Reality will add your real world environment to the gaming environment, making it more exciting. The first of such games was Pokémon Go. It was the first that used AR in games to show the industry the way it is done. Currently, the entire industry is working on bringing it into more casinos and video games. When this eventually happens, it will be possible for online casino players to see computer players standing face to face before them, and also see the cards as they are dealt out in their very before. This same tech could be transferred into online video games. Consider how good it will feel when you are able to see other players as they play or where the in-game features are made look like they are in the real world in games like Fortnite,

Facial Recognition

Facial recognition is the thing that could bring about a very huge change in online casinos in the near future. One of the major ways this could be implemented is in the safety and security angle.  When you sign into an online casino for games, you would be identified with 100% accuracy by the facial recognition tool before you are logged into your account.

Of course, we cannot overemphasize the benefits of this. We can also use the facial recognition tool to inject higher levels of personalization on online gaming.  When we do this, it will allow us to import people’s faces into video games, and with this, the faces could be used as avatars or profile pictures. Facial recognition could also be used by casino and video games to identify individual players. This way, it would be much easier to deliver personalized rewards and target ads on specific groups of people.

On Demand Game Streaming

This is coming as a change in the online video gaming sector, and it’s already happening at the moment, and looks like something that will grow even bigger. This boils down to the fact that purchasing physical copies of video games to use in your console or PC is now outdated. This is very costly and also time intensive. The solution to this therefore is on demand streaming.  When gamers make use of this, they have the leverage to enjoy a very huge array of slots whenever they like. The Google Stadia that was released in November 2019 typifies this service, and many other services and sites are also coming up in this niche. Digital streaming and online gaming will seemingly take over the crux of how people play video games in the future. This idea is already widely used by casino gaming, though video gaming is still playing a fast catch up at the moment.

Online Gaming Is Evolving Swiftly

The fact that online gaming is witnessing a very swift change is not in doubt. Whether you play online video games or not, the truism of this remains constant. It even extends to the online casino games. We can have a lot of debate about the trajectory of things in the future, but within the entire sector, the aforementioned technologies are undoubtedly staking a huge claim.
