The future of live dealer casino entertainment offer an exciting journey for those involved as BetGames shares live casino trends! (Courtesy of BetGames)
On the BetGames news forum, the popular live dealer game developer has decided to give us its insights on up-and-coming future trends on the live casino scene.
It is a topic that always springs up across the gambling entertainment scene as live dealer gaming continues to jump bounds and leaps in its unique space.
The short and insightful report gets straight down to business covering ‘Virtual/Augmented Reality’ (VR/AR) tech, ‘Mobile Gaming’, ‘Personalisation and Customisation’, ‘Live Streaming and Social Interaction’, and ‘Cryptocurrency and Blockchain Technology’.
Perhaps the most interesting topics for the future include the possibility of VR gaming, which without mentioning it specifically brings us to the topic of MetaVerse iGaming. Also, with the possibility of another crypto bull run on the horizon, and if this happens, the already solidified presence of crypto gaming in the iGaming space will become more prevalent.
Breaking down BetGames analysis: Below I will break down BetGames analysis and also add my input from my personal experience of live dealer gaming and the impact I expect from each of these innovations.
Virtual Reality (VR) – Augmented reality live casino
This a point well made by BetGames, and a technology I expect BetGames will soon jump on once the right solution is available. It is one of the key technological advances we are still waiting to hit the live casino scene is the introduction of virtual reality.
We have already seen some brands introduce VR-style environments, like Evolution and its First-Person RNG games. These games give players a virtual casino environment which is also Metaverse-Esq in many ways. They give us a peek into what the future might look like in a Metaverse online casino.
Other games that are using augmented reality include Crazy Time, Monopoly Live, Adventures Beyond Wonderland, Gonzo’s Treasure Chest, and other live casino game shows.
Verdict: VR is the next big leap for live casino gaming, while AR is already part of some of the top game show titles out there. BetGames will eventually implement AR, but the brand is not being too hasty as it will look to introduce the right tech at the right time as and when a viable solution becomes available.
Cryptocurrency in Live Casino
Evolution, Pragmatic Play, Ezugi and Authentic Gaming are the main cryptocurrency players within the live casino arena. For the time being BetGames has not enabled its games for crypto, but after the company’s piece covering the future of iGaming, I believe this is a statement that gives us a hint BetGames will soon become a crypto-friendly live dealer brand.
Verdict: Crypto is already an integral part of live casino gaming, but the issue is most live dealer developers do not include it as an option. However, crypto is the future and this year or the next I expect almost all live dealer software providers to build in support for crypto.
Mobile Gaming & Live Casino
This section doesn’t need too much of an intro because all live dealer software platforms design the software streaming the games and allowing players to place bets with responsive code. I believe this is a combination of JavaScript code transported via HTML5 to web browsers and mobile apps, so the video stream and betting software adapts to the screen size of any device. On top of this, settings to change the video quality as well as other settings so players can enjoy lag-free high-quality live casino gaming are all incorporated into modern live casino platforms.
Verdict: The demand for mobile live casino gaming is huge, and software providers in the space recognised this long ago with all now available via iOS, Android apps and via web browsers.
Personalisation and Customisation
The one-size fits all method that has long been the way of live casinos and online casinos, in general, is now a dying fad. As with all marketing projects, casinos now want to target players’ specific needs. For the player, this enhances their gaming experience, while for the casino it means high customer retention making it a win-win for all parties involved.
Verdict: Although BetGames does not mention it, AI will likely play a huge role in the future of personalising live casino bonuses, gaming experience, stake limits for high rollers, and more.
Live Streaming and Social Interaction
Finally, live streaming and social interaction polish off BetGames innovative tech in live casino news piece. BetGames has its Wheel and lottery games, which are community-driven. Also, the BetGames software includes a chat facility to allow players to converse with dealers, croupiers, and game hosts. Adding to this, we have live online slots and game show environments from other software providers driving social interaction via live streams.
Verdict: We are seeing a noticeable increase in games incorporating social interaction into live streams. I also expect the inevitable introduction of AR/VR and Metaverse gaming to enhance the way live casino gaming enhances social interaction for live dealer gamers!
