Virtual Reality and the Casino
$6,000 Welcome Bonus
Virtual reality has arrived with a whimper, but it's not going away. It will evolve and improve and eventually find a vital function in all our lives.
Online gambling has been at the cutting edge of new trends and developments since the Internet first connected to the world. Businesses have invested in innovation, from simple one-click payment solutions and sophisticated search engine optimisation to live streaming casinos and multi-platform capabilities. Virtual reality has also been in the mix since it was first conceived in late 1980s by VR hardware developer Jaron Lanier.
Analysts predict that more than 100 million people worldwide could be active VR users in less than a decade. SlotsMillion was launched in 2015 as the world's first virtual casino. NetEnt recently showcased a virtual reality version of their hit online slot Gonzo’s Quest.
Virtual reality is a perfect example of a platform looking for a train. In Las Vegas, immersive gaming is the hot ticket. The MGM Grand hosts the game where up to eight people can play simultaneously. In 1969, BBC2 started broadcasting television shows in colour. They decided on snooker as a subject.
