Top two online casino trends you
should look forward to in 2018
Online casinos have been doing pretty solid business over the
past few years. Considering the wide variety of content that’s been produced for
them in the year 2017, especially the casino games tied to popular franchises
and big-budget film releases, as well as the constantly increasing number of
online casino players, things look very bright for them.
People who regularly follow
Canadian online
casino news would know how the online gambling medium has been
consistently growing in that country too. Looking at all such growth, it would
be fair to say that 2018 is most likely to be another solid year for the online
casino industry overall. Many iGaming events that have been held this year point
to that. Let’s look at the top two online casino trends you can expect to emerge
more strongly in the year 2018.
VR casino gaming
Talking about gaming would be incomplete if we don’t mention
the growing commercial viability of the virtual reality casino games. Valve
Corporation’s Steam Digital platform and
Oculus (owned by Facebook) are both
launching their games that use VR technology. Furthermore, Augmented Reality (AR)
technology is all set to drive the solid $ 108 billion virtual reality market by
the year 2021, bringing a lot more features to the desktop and mobile platforms.
All this augurs pretty well for the possibilities of VR online
casino games. Such VR experience would greatly enhance the user satisfaction
levels and replicate the environment of a real casino for the online players.
Microgaming having had showcased their VR roulette demo at the
ICE Totally Gaming in 2016, have shown
how the leading developers of online casino games are dedicated to this
technology.
More live casino games
Twitch, a gaming-based digital platform attracts as many as 45
million people per month to either watch other people play games or play games
themselves! Facebook Live has also increased its capabilities, resulting in a
330% increase in the search queries for the term since the year 2016. Money to
the tune of $ 50 million has reportedly been spent to celebrities to make them
do all kinds of marketing tasks on the platform. Live technology is something
that continues to grow and will follow the same trajectory in the year 2018.
When it comes to online casinos, it implies that the ongoing
trend of live casino games will not just grow stronger, but would also expand
into new dimensions. Apart from offering more varieties of table games in the
live format, you can expect altogether new games going live. To give you an
example, Dreamcatcher Live can already be played at a large number of online
casino websites. It uses live streaming technology where a wheel of fortune kind
of game is presented in real-time by a real host. Companies exhibiting at the
ICE Totally Gaming, 2018 are expected to unveil more advancements in the online
casino live technologies.
