Topic: Importance of Multiplayer Gaming in Gambling Industry (Read 756 times)

The near future promises more of a virtual online environment compared to what we see today. All these talks of the metaverse and the likes are ushering in web 3, which in turn promises a better user experience. That being said, the experiences gotten from going to a live casino are nothing compared to the online experience. I don't advocate abandoning the old ways of live gaming because of new trends or features that online counterparts offer, but I sure would like most live games for good reasons, to be preserved in the online space in case of concerns that might require;
• world lockdown or any restriction, which limits access to a live casino center.
• Also another thing is for most friends who used to play together in these live casinos, if they for life reasons happen to find themselves in other locations, an online game time can help foster the bond between these friends if there is a multiplayer system available.

I welcome the multiplayer system and acknowledge its importance, but also without any exemption for the fun-filled experience and thrill of an offline gaming center.

Imagine a world like GTA where many players can interact, go to a casino and play together. That would almost be the same from going into a real casino. It will even be a good thing for all gamblers since they will be able to protect their real identity. We know that going to a real casino could be dangerous sometimes since it could be a hotspot for some criminals around the area that could attempt on our life.

It is true that you do not get the same atmosphere when playing online than the one you can get while gambling at a physical casino, however I do not think online casinos need to perfectly emulate the experience, as long as they can add a substitute of the experience people will be more than happy to keep gambling online.

And I think this is where the metaverse will come in play, as it would be completely different to gamble in a virtual casino and interact with the avatars of other people than the way we gamble online today.

Personally, it seems to me that in the near future no technology will be able to convey the emotions of live communication. I remember I loved going to land-based casinos when they were allowed in my country and the main point was the atmosphere in the casino and the large number of interesting people to watch, talk to them, look at the game of chance from a completely new perspective, get a new experience. Nowadays, no online platform is able to convey this atmosphere.

For the generation that understands technological developments, they will try to explore new technologies, especially for those who often play at online casinos. For example, during a pandemic, many people who initially played in physical casinos switched to online casinos and by using fiat, they were able to continue playing. And when crypto casinos became popular during the pandemic, many people who play in online fiat casinos were curious. Finally, they tried to own crypto and play in crypto casinos. And with the existence of VR technology, it may develop even more in the future and allow people to play gambling while socializing with other gamblers from different countries.

Our era is really very high tech, you would never think that it would lead to virtual games like this, and the great thing about it is that you are actually there in the digital world as if the game you are playing is real.

It's amazing when we think about it. Especially in a game of gambling, so maybe too much fun and others almost have an addiction to this kind of game in the digital world.

Can trading be considered multiplayer gambling? In my opinion yes. If we are talking about the stock market, which has an economic basis and there is not a very large gambling element (but it is), but if we are talking about trading with shitcoins, then in my opinion this is an ideal example of multiplayer gambling. This is a zero-sum game where someone's gain can only come from someone's loss.

I think that is precisely what casinos are trying to emulate by creating games which are multiplayer by nature, I have gambled both online and offline and I can say without a doubt that even if online gambling is way more practical and cheaper that my best sessions have been at offline casinos.

And as you may guess it had nothing to do with the games themselves but rather with the experience that you can get by interacting with other people face-to-face, now having said that my worst sessions have also been at offline casinos for the very same reason.

Yes, due to age, physical activities will be have a good benefits to their mind and body. Well, in fact it's more fun to be there in physical casinos, your emotions will show and true excitement is there unlike when you just seeing your mobile or laptop screen, even using a wide monitor screen, it is still different.
But exploring what new technologies applied in casinos are worth to try too.

The only problem I think why Multiplayer isn't fully integrated with gambling is that as you said, it develops skills and strategies but before that, you need a problem. And gambling games don't really provide said gambling, one that forces multiple players in a session to actually join in and brainstorm. I won't speak for other multiplayer games since those have already proven themselves with how big their market is, but gambling on the other hand needs to be have something in the first place.

That's just how it is in a competitive scene. It's a bundle of a variety of factors that affect it imo but yea, that's just how it is, it's a competition to play against other competitive players and it's also a competition to stay as a competitor itself.

You have a valid point. While the goal is very much ideal, in real life, there are only few gaming groups who attained the same level of success in each of their members. Some member really do excel and given more opportunities to grab while others are left stagnant. Perhaps it depends on the way of approach of the team and its manager so that each of the player will get the recognition they deserve.

This is indeed a good strategy to showcase different skills and techniques in playing but the methods toward fame and making reputation should be well thought of. Because most of the time, the players end up going solo to pursue more and to achieve more leaving other members behind.

Yes, it has happened with different gamers. But one in thousand turns to be successful in this way whereas the rest doesn't make anything out of it. As stated the combined involvement will help in creating strategies, but a single player benefitting out of the same happens most of the time which discourage people from gaming.

well, as we have large number of population worldwide, we can't discard the idea that some of these older people are into MMO games as it is a way to relax themselves or just a pastime for them. and since  it is online, basically, you can enjoy it at the comfort of your home, wherein, most older people want to. no need to go outside their homes. some are not into physical interaction but they can very well into virtual socialization.

Multi player gaming not only enhance social interaction but it’s also a way of developing certain strategies to excel and become an asset player in a group. The more players who engaged in a certain game, the more skills and strategies shown, and the more lively and challenging the game becomes. The reason why even kids these days have higher chances to become potential gamers in the future.

 

Sorry, maybe I'm not right, but your idea sounds very weird. Why we should do things in online, which we can do in real life. In fact, we're already doing them (playing casino and communicating with other gamblers).

But Sims is not a gambling. In sims you can be very successful person and everything like that.

Innovation in the gambling business will develop better in the future because supported by technology that is also developing. It provides a space for the gambling business and industry to improve later. Gamblers will feel curious about the innovation, making them try it. And if they can get something interesting out of it, they will come back because innovation is more entertaining than anything else. With that being said, every gambler should be more careful with spending their money because if they are entertained with the new game, they can forget everything and potentially lose control later on.

That is when they are able to visit a Casino, besides older generation is also learning the technologies today with the assistance of their relatives.  I am also talking about us being the older generation.   Or the generation before the millennials the Gen x.  They are already literate on computers so they won't have any problem accessing an MMO game where they can interact with their friends.  I even encounter a 75 years old guy playing an MMORPG way back in 2010  .   I was very surprised that time, since I thought only young ones, are into MMO.

For a simple player like us, we may think that it is not important because we can do our activities even without this multiplayer options.  But, for the Casino, game developer and those who wanted more than the regular stuff the casino offers, having an additional option like multiplayer is important.  Casino competition is very tight, so anyone who bring in new innovations on the table will surely have a step ahead on the competition.  Like for example, the Rollbit implementation of Clan looks very interesting.  Player who wanted to experience this kind of stuff may flock or register to Rollbit, thus, attracting more player for the Casino.

No not that important because it is still possible to gamble even with a single player game only like the traditional slot and dice games. People are still having fun of them. They wont get bore because these games have different variations especially in the slot category while for the dice games, you can implement endless strategies with it which can make the game more fun and exciting. Don't worry about covid because it is not a permanent disease and you will see your friends again in the real world soon. In fact, many countries are now going back to normal. School classes are now in face to face again, as well as the gambling places.

Old-time gamblers still prefer physical casinos where they could have physical interactions with other gamblers. We can't blame them for choosing physical casinos over online casinos because of the bond and exciting activities that they could do while playing with their colleagues. We all know that old-time gamblers especially the oldies only seek companion and entertainment rather than winning huge amounts.

VR is still a premium experience, the effective resolution of VR is 4k which is quadruple the load of running a normal 1080p display.   The advantage of VR is it doesnt require flying hundred or thousands of miles to visit a big casino.    A normal website is far simplier for providing that utility hence why VR is likely to be for the richest clients but I can see  a time its provided free with an account if they are a regular player.    VR could increase immersion and so be quite important to gambling; personally Im not expecting a vast change till the hardware is the size and weight of sunglasses.

The older generation would surely just prefer to visit a local casino and do the socializing in there. They are quite technologically challenged, and even though some of them know a lot on the tech that we have right now, a lot are still clueless on what things do and how do they use it. It's not an understatement but it's a fact. Most of the gimmicks gambling platforms come up with nowadays are targeted on the young audience, and I think VR is aimed at socially-awkward portion of the populace to give them a chance to feel what it's like to social on a casino.

If it will be more beneficial to players compared to normal gambling games, I'm sure that it could attract players because we all know that gamblers are into more profitable games. It might cause gambling addiction especially if players would feel more challenged and entertained so we should still know when to stop and learn how to control our emotions. It's another type of gambling innovation which will result the growth of casinos in the future.

Now Rollbit have implemented this kind idea, you can bet with your friends either slots or sports and it's called as clans https://blog.rollbit.com/introducing-clans/

With this implementation, playing online gambling wouldn't only alone, but we can play with our friends and making fun together. This is a new innovation and AFAIK there's no casinos offer this.

However the bad thing is we're need to trust the players on our clans, if someone misusing his power, he can use the whole clans money to play a games that he likes without ask permissions with the other gamblers.

We don't know how casinos will implement multiplayer in the gambling industry. Still, if it can allow them to earn more profits, casinos will try to implement it on their sites and see how it goes. If the results are good, they will try to make other games more attractive to gamblers, which can also create an addiction for the players. So in playing anything that involves gambling, we have to control ourselves so we don't get addicted.

Multiplayer gaming is very important in todays world. The world changed a lot since the covid pandemic, many things we used to do in groups with friends we are doing now at home alone. Like you said, it's important to create communities online and give a sense of companionship to each other. That is why the streaming industry saw such a huge boost recently.  There is demand for more interaction among gambler, if you check on Twitch there are thousand of people who watch gambling streams regularly. The problem is that most of the casino games are designed to be played alone against the house, and not against other human players. Poker is a exception here, but it's hard to master poker and become profitable. You can't just sit down a few days a month and enjoy online poker if you don't have a good strategy. Over the years online poker became so competitive and it's also not really multiplayer experience. I think that virtual reality will have a big step towards more multiplayer gaming in the gambling industry. It offers so many possibilities to better engage with other players. For example, the casino could show us with avatars all sitting at the same roulette table and speak to each other while the game is happening. We could see the winnings of other players and have a laugh.

This is an interesting take on a subject that is usually associated with negative impacts and effects. I have not considered playing multiplayer in an online game but if this increases my chances of winning, then I guess this would be beneficial in the long run.

Just a quick question, how would they implement multiplayer in the gambling industry? Given that there are tons of games available per gambling website, how will the proceeds be divided among the players? I just hope that by implementing a multiplayer feature, this will not create a toxic environment where one player would blame the other for the loss.

The "young" range must be defined...because if there is no replacement generation for the current oldman ones, who say they are not interested in multiplayer games, it would seem that the future would be multiplayer games.

Just look at the many of multiplayer platforms out there where players sometimes spend hours and hours just interacting.

There are several multiplayer platforms where you don't bet but if you spend money buying things, avatars, accessories and a lot of things that accompany the game in its development, they don't bet ... but they are spending money , it's a modality that has been there for many years.

Obviously they are not bets but the players do whatever it takes to fund their profiles, they are not betting but they spend money on the platforms, so it is a modality that seems very distant from traditional casinos... but it is a way to earn money without mentioning chance or relating it to a bet.

Honestly, I like this idea and I think the Metaverse is on this one and some projects are making something like this.

It's more fun and reducing the boredom when you've get to see that you have a character inside a digital world and you're that one which you can go anywhere including casinos and gamble with real-world money through that virtual world.

Time is closing in and I've seen people that are now living in this type of world and they don't want to get out of their rooms anymore as they're like working inside that virtual world and doing activities and that includes gambling.

There are instances when friends cannot see each other and enjoy time together playing in a Casino even though they both have free time but are far apart.  So having a metaverse dedicated in a Casino games enable this friends to interact and play slots and other casino games together in a virtual world.


It is indeed the player can play a casino directly but it is  a different experience if you can have a character in a virtual world that can interact on the virtual space.  This is one of the reason why life simulation game is pretty popular and the SIM games thrives.

MMO doesn't only attract young players. It also attracts all age ranges.  People are social creatures regardless of age it is always fun to have someone to share experiences with.  Seniors would love to have this kind of implementation.  Imagine being a senior and having your colleagues join you in a metaverse game, enjoying your free time playing casino and avatar (character) interaction.  Seniors don't have to type messages since technology today allows voice communication between players.

Some does have and some doesnt have and it would always matter on casino owners or gambling platforms on considering on adding up those options but in overall there are indeed market for those people who do

love to deal with multiplayer games which is mostly on PvP side and other casino games but most of the time where people do really ends up on dealing with house vs player type of games.

As long it would really be fair and square then people wouldnt really be minding about those issues.There's a certain market for that and wont really be bothersome in
regarding with numbers because there's always a market to it.

Not all multiplayer games are fun while there are fun games which are only a single player so it will also depend on the game or the people that is playing the game rather because each of us has our own taste. I can say I love this game but the other person doesn't feel the same.

I think casino owners already know the fact that multiplayer games can attract most young people but despite that, they haven't add any multiplayer games on their platform or maybe there are some sites which had it but I believe the numbers are only low. I think that's because they avoid younger people to get involved in gambling. Gambling owners do still care after all.

It would be awesome as hell! The main problem is that most people are playing some slots or dices, more rarely - poker. I don't know for sure why such things occur, but gambling is not about multiplaying. it would be nice if someone would broke such dark cicle of things. But I doubt about the fact someone CAN do this.


OMG 

I think we already have this one. Without any metaverse. This is called "real life"


Player create character which will play casino, like the player could do it by himself 

I wonder if someone will create a Casino metaverse where a game focuses on gambling casino.  I know some game like growtopia, a multiplayer game that has an option to create gambling games within the game, but I wanted to see a MMORPG that is dedicated to Casino metaverse where player need to create a character and can interact with other players inside the metaverse.

But most likely, gamers these days are more on multiplayer gaming because aside from encouraging social interaction, it will also create a big challenge for them to show their abilities and skills on how to win that certain game. Though some prefer to play alone, but having these additional games that are played with numerous gamers, this creates more enthusiasm on part of the players.

The effect is that there will be more people who will play the game, even if the game is gambling. With so many choices of games for multiplayer, people will be curious to play, especially if they can play with friends or other people they don't know. Of course, the entertainment factor will also increase because when they play together in one room, they can cheer up their friends who play with them. It will open a new era in the gambling system and gambling will never be the same in the future.

Through the years, I'd been longing for multiplayer gambling too. There are games like NBA Fantasy available on ESPN and Yahoo. Maybe a league creator can set the entrance betting fees and the system is the one setting how to distribute the prize pool. But maybe this needs a full KYC since it can be exploited by dummies, multi-accounts, and people in the same location who might collaborate with each other in order to rig some of the results.

I like the idea but it needs to be worked well since there are too many factors that are open to exploitation.

When you said that, this is really what other people will think when young people are introduced to the world of gambling at a young age.
But in general, this will be in favor of the gambling industry, because the percentage of young people who like to gamble will surely increase, especially if one of the systems here is multiplayer games,

Because honestly, it is entertaining to be with other players in this matter in the world of gambling. And I as a gambler is in favor of this of course.

More variety and the possibility of building up groups and community games that are more concentrated on group vs group instead of individual vs individual.

Honestly, this is more like developing into something in the middle between an mmo and a gambling game. I consider a LOT of games to be gambling games, just that most games considered as gambling directly use money and are more of an everything or nothing type, unlike other generic games which are more forgiving and give out other minor rewards even when losing. With multiplayer developing into the hardcore gambling games, there'd be a lot more competition which is more intense compared to regular games imo.

Well, due to this, many accidents can occur, in fact, one of the reasons why people run away and do not like to chat is for that very reason, they can be scammed, it is also where the problem with children comes in, sometimes there are many sick people who begin to manipulate a child through the game and can harm him, my sister-in-law's husband has a daughter with another woman, and that girl of approximately 15 years old played fortnite and another game of that style, the The thing is that she managed to contact and become friends with a player who was a guerrilla (Colombian) and then the girl was scared that she wouldn't go out because the man threatened to kill her, the father had to look for the heads of the guerrillas to interfere, that's it something very delicate what they can cause.

I can see that they are slowly making a move and building something so that in the few years to come, maybe they can already introduce some games that are multiplayer. As of now, I think there's no game like that exists. Introducing multiplayer games in the casino surely needs some time as it also needed a lot of work to make it happen, and that will bring the casino into a whole new level.

just like any regular sports, esports is indeed now being considered as the same. players are being trained hard, but you won't be bothered by time here because you are playing and everybody loves playing, right? and for sure, as a player, you are enjoying about this kind of set-up. while enjoying your game, you have the chance of earning good income. what more can you ask for? some of the players are spending good amount of money without getting any return. but here, in esports, you have the chance to make it as your bread and butter.

Its pure business, there’s a huge reward on most of the competition especially in DOTA2 that’s why they are taking this seriously and they are spending a lot of money to trained their players. Multiplayer can really boost the gambling industry but we need a clear regulations to follow because if they are just going to implement this, then most probably some gambler will be hesitant to try this, this will take a lot of work on casinos.

Big companies are starting to support eGames and they are really looking for good players to play a specific game, this is like a business nowadays but still we can expect a more entertainment from them especially if you are a player too. This multiplayer gaming are fun and usually done on sports, but as of the moment there’s no option likes this on some casino games especially on slots game, maybe someone can innovate a settings like this but right now, we’re far from this kind of settings.

The good thing with esports is that it can be played for both fame, entertainment, and money.  The reason why there are many tournaments out there.  Esports players are being hired just like any ordinary sports.  Their camp will spend money to train these players in order to be competitive so that it can gather sponsors (source of management income) or win tournaments for fame to get more sponsors.  And bookmakers saw that it is a good way to earn money so they integrate online gambling into it.

Dota gambling would just be sports betting really, the game itself isnt directly a gambling game and most teams wont play for money at that average level they are placed at only the top teams are playing for money same for all the other esports.   Most esports require actual in person games to certify the teams remain legitimate, I hope that changes in future and then we can have more freedom for factors like that but until then its quite casual I think.
  I play online poker and most of the interaction avoid language conflicts by being emoji only.

Multiplayer gaming is well connected with the creation of a social network which helps in making new friends and have healthy conversation about the games and different things happening around when people from different countries unite. Apart from this, it is also proven that multiplayer gaming is suggested to improve the concentration.

When we play alone we'll do of our own. When someone is giving guidance we'll do better as well as we'll find possible ways to tackle the situation sharing the information available. So, this is good and some even scam it as an opportunity. In my country one such incident took place and now he's in prison.

These are factors that improve the most social part of them, although I could bet that in these games very good friendships emerge and some ties between people from different countries are intertwined and they can exchange game information according to their experience. It is also necessary to point out that the adrenaline that you feel when playing like this is unique, from experience in games of this style, I know that time passes very quickly and if you find yourself at night ready to sleep, you can easily stay up all night playing without importing the break and I think that is not very good, it is a point that any player should always take care of.

The multiplayer games that are being utilized in the gambling industry promote the following

• Interactive-ness of players between the games and the community
• Learning experience would be different
• More and more people would be invited and stuff with it

This begs the question of whether this improves people's gameplay.

Multiplayer gaming also establish individual’s confidence that he can do well and create good contribution to the team. So the ability and skills of a certain player will boost more, which I think something that we should be thankful about multiplayer gambling. That is why this type of gaming has continue to prosper in the gambling industry and in fact, a lot of new type of games have been developed recently designed for multiplayer gambling.

Yes, it seems that gambling and betting in multi-player game or esports added some spice to it. I personally have a number of friends because of this esports games wherein every semi finals to grandfinals we're betting to the team we are rooting, it gives more excitement to the game although in my country betting in this even is not tolerated maybe friendly betting game will do.

The way I see it, gambling as been quite a profitable and popular activity for humanity since the beginning of civilization and with the arrival of internet and such addictive games like Dota, Leage of Legends, Counter Strike, etc which are also part of an industry that generates billions of dollars per year on its own, it does not surprise me that the multiplayer competitive games and gambling constitute a winning duo.

Part of the importance of these new e-sports for the gambling world comes from the fact that they may be found more appealing to the newest generation of gamblers. I have personally met people who are very into MOBAS like Leage of Legends and follow the tournaments and at the same time they are not very much involved in Football or other traditional sports, so they would find entertainment gambling their money on e-sports rather than traditional sports. It is a new market, with important sponsors like the US army.

Is there any effect? Do you think that gamblers into sports betting, slots, and other popular gambling games will switch to a multiplayer game just like that?

Except for poker I like to play, I didn't find any other interesting multiplayer gambling game! This thread is like many other similar threads with multiplayer gambling games discussions:

PVP Games Casino You Can Try

What games are best suitable for PvP gambling?

Multiplayer vs single player games

Gambling with normal games

So a lot of talking, theoretically it has enormous potential, but for now, I simply don't see any interesting multiplayer gambling games!

I can compare this sense of belongingness that multi-player gaming brings to spices that you sprinkle on a dish just to add extra flavor. It's something that I, as a gambler, don't really need and can play without. Socializing (online/irl) during a game is fine but, when we're talking about betting, it's always the availability of money and the thought of winning that will make people play.

What you said there about being toxic is true and this is the main problem that most people are facing now when it comes to multiplayer games. I don't know why someone cant' just play calmly and do not take things seriously.

There are still players that acts like a kid even if they are an adult already but we can just ignore these players or mute them during the game because if you will keep on entertaining them, the issue will only get bigger and it can affect your gameplay. Despite that fact, I still prefer multiplayer games because the fun that I feel is extraordinary than compare to when I am only playing alone. I know how to deal with toxic people, that's why.

Wel it depends on what kind of player they are dealing with.If it's with casual player,it would make them more comfortable because they have one more entertainment that is live interaction between player.For the pro player,they don't seem to care about this as long as they got to play.I think small casino wouldn't want to implement this because it will take to long for them to gain profit with multiplayer kind of gambling.

Multiplayer and Player Vs Player games are fun to play especially when you can interact with other people through chat. However, i would like to know if the gambling casino prefers to offer multiplayer games as in those games one player will lose but the other player will win. The gambling site can only get a portion of the winnings, while in single games, the house tends to make more profit when a player loses against the house.

Yep, and don't forget that PvP tends to converge players in one big pool (or room), so small casinos won't have a chance against big players. Probably Evolution etc. will still suck players. PVP is also more suitable for skill games that have a competitive nature in it, not for betting. This is because smurfing (pro player using newbie account) will likely to happen and destroy newbies -> no newbie join -> dead platform.

Gambling = Luck / RNG, these people are walking on the dead end.

Yeah,poker is a game of strategy and skill.  It is one of the most popular card games in the world.  The more you learn the more you win!!!a good online poker player must learn to adapt to different nationalities and languages. The best way to do this is by meeting new people and building friendships with them. This makes it easier for you to understand the language, culture and etiquette of other players.

I would like to try a multiplayer gaming, I think that it should be an interesting form of entertainment. I've only used it in poker online at the moment or with some

form of Roulette or blackjack, and it was funny. But yes, PvP industry is growing at the moment, and I think that in future PvP will represent the highest percentage

of players of casino.

That's because PvP games are more time-consuming compared to playing on your own where you could quickly go for several rounds. Some crypto casinos i've played used to have PvP games like coinflip but most of them prefer to play other games and the coinflip rooms would always be filled with bots waiting to accept a challenger.

That would be the case if there's no moderation but most chatboxes are usually monitored by at least one or two people since it's inevitable for all players to act properly.

I guess the effects will entirely depend on what type of person is going to play. For example, if a solo player would first try this multiplayer game, for sure he would do a lot of adjustment, one of that is to openly communicate with his partner on how to win a game, or being challenge more since he is against someone and not just a system A.I. On the other hand, if a player is playing already a multiplayer game before, I think he might just have to look for a strong opponent to find the excitement he is looking for to enjoy the game.

Of course it will also be addicting, especially if you find something interesting on the game.

It's actually surprising that more crypto sites do not offer a player versus player environment, but I guess it's a very fine balancing act. I have a feeling that it could cause a more toxic environment, especially if chat options are available and this might drive away players in the long run - there's an element of unpredictability. It might drive more anger and rejection than other types of games, while also making people lose money more quickly. The gambling site wants to keep you hooked and stretch out the "fun" for as long as possible, so they can work in alot of algorithms and feed lots of small wins back to the player while draining their account balance slowly. It also requires a lot more resources to prevent cheating as collusion can often totally ruin the odds between players.

This is really amazing. In these games, even if they are unknown at first, they come in a group and get acquainted with everyone. I would call it is a bridge. One of the joys of playing together is that you can truly bring a unique dimension to the world of gaming. Here you will find different types of help while playing which is not possible in single game. You'll be able to run your own conversations with everyone in your group, as well as gaming action at the same time.

I agree that it depends on each person, but many people who join the community often get together and spend time together playing or discussing their games. Those who join the community will certainly be happy if there is a match between groups. But if multiplayer games are integrated into gambling, it may attract gamblers to choose a group or team with a greater chance of winning than others. But, indeed, there may still be people who still play the games they love.

There are different types of people regarding the game they want some of them to want to play alone just a casual game that they can enjoy on their selves, and sone of the people are want to play against other players too some of them want to show up their skills and talent in playing and of course, it is more entertaining because you can compete with another player, and can challenge them but of course, it becomes possible toxic at the same time due to players mood in the current game.

It looks like many people industry think community driven games are more encouraging. I am doubtful. It totally depends on individual. I would agree that type of gamers who prefer mmo (world of warcraft etc.) would be bored of person based gambling games. But not all people play mmo or Fortnite. There are people who likes to play adventure games. There are people who wanna stay independent of from their circle, they could prefer games like slot machines.

Well you have a totally respectable approach, maybe some players don't see it that way, because maybe others are more open to social and you're right about many things, maybe a chat can be very distracting and lose concentration, but also not everything is bad, some players are very good and why not, you can become friends with some of them and with that knowledge and strategies are shared, some just use the chat to annoy or something, but that already depends on whoever you want to relate to, you can easily do it that way, there are some who call that a community and it's not so bad. But your criteria is totally good and everyone has their way of seeing things.

This is why land-based casinos are a very popular venue for socialization.  And the online gambling wanted at least to imitate them thru virtual interaction.  A casino chat box where players and admin are interacting gives a sense of belonging.  The questions and queries are entertained and share the feeling of happiness when winning or encouragement when disappointed.  Human indeed needs to socialize that is why the multiplayer game would increase the interests of people who love to interact with people with the same interest and or gambler who love competitive games to challenge their skills and cleverness.

To each his own, I guess. I actually enjoy playing with other people be it gambling or just regular games. It kinda makes me feel that I have a 'friend' whenever I play, or whenever I use the chat feature to interact due to getting in touch with people with the same interests as I am. Also, sometimes you just feel like time passes extremely fast whenever you have someone to talk to while you're doing something, and as someone who gambles mainly for the entertainment, it helps me to kill time in a huge way.

In multiplayer games, due to the inertia of the type of game, interaction is necessary and creates a certain community link, either through game data or the strategy itself, but that sense of community is trapped there, the relevance of improving that or implementing it at other levels I think it seeks to improve player traffic rather than become an additional benefit for users.

In any case the relevance and the implementation seems to have more contribution than cons.

I don't believe in this "create a sense of community" thing. I've played PvP poker on online casinos and I've never felt like I'm being a part of a community or something. Maybe I'm too introverted and I don't use the chat feature, because it can be quite distracting.
I've also played many online multiplayer games(not gambling) and I don't create connection with other players, build friendships or feel like I belong to a community.
I don't mind the concept of multiplayer gambling, but hyping it up as a place to "meet new people and make friends" seems artificial to me.
The gambling platforms are for gambling, social media platforms are the place to meet people and make friends(also pretty artificial, if you ask me, but who cares).

Multiplayer games can provide a new experience playing with new people we don't know.
We can make friends with people from different countries or places than us; who knows, we may be friends with them.
Gamers may now prefer this way of playing because they do not need to be in the same location together but can play at their respective homes and whenever they can.
For the problem of language or communication differences, I don't think it will be a problem because many people already use English as their primary language.

if it can enhance our social life we are just a home, its worth developing.  player vs player  has been around  but in gambling, i have no idea but side bets i guess will be possible if this is developed. so will this development go along with the metaverse?

For me the big question is if in this type of games there will be a margin for the most skilled players to obtain long term profits as it happens in poker or it will be simply several players playing against the house and its House Edge. I think it can have a good future in both cases because of the social aspect, but the fact of giving a little bit of House Edge allowing some players to win in the long term can make it even more attractive.

Yes. Every game where we connect to server and chat is multiplayer. I think he meant players not competing each other which kind of a grey part when all the reason gamers play is to enjoy racing to a goal.

Developers have this social community games in mind since the lock down which the popularity of Axie Infinity grew so much because it has its all in one game. With Axie, the players are not enjoying the game and socializing but also making money out of it. I think this is where developers should focus more on developing and at the same time the utility of the token.

Aren't all of eSports multiplayer? Multiplayer sports like DoTA have the largest prizepool in all of sports and eSports (if we leave FIFA World Cup aside) and is very popular across the globe as well. Boosting socialization part is a hit and miss. If you are trying to play competitively, you generally arent there to socialize. Most interactions are to either encourage a teammate/enemy or to put them down. Minecraft kind of games would be more on the socialize aspect of games.

Multiplayer gaming have lead to make healthy relationship with universe, because we get teamed with someone who is a stranger. This way to many have turned to be friends. Myself not much into gaming, but my friend used to spend nights playing as a team. One day I encountered he's the only person in the team from my country. Rest were from different nations and they were able to communicate even though there is some difficulty in language.

I have had the pleasure of using multiplayer gambling sites in the past.

In my experience, they are a double edged sword. It becomes easier to win as the objective shifts towards defeating your human opponents rather than the game which is a positive.

On the negative side, rewards are distributed across multiple winners, reducing potential profits below what they would be outside of multiplayer gaming.

There definitely are positives and negatives present, both of which trend towards canceling each other out.

It is nice to have a more forgiving format of gambling with higher error tolerances which multiplayer can definitely provide.

Aside from boosting socialization and cooperation on part of the gamblers, it will also create high interest of gamblers on the gambling site which means more players, more profits on their part. And mostly, the players more on involved are those teens or the minors that have even gotten into addiction which i think is not good anymore. Although we can see that these minors are strictly prohibited in physical casinos, but they have been become uncontrolled when it comes to online gaming and that makes gambling industry not healthy at all.

The truth is that we are heading towards a future where gambling will be games where many players will be playing each other live. I myself really like Multiplayer games, but I'm not playing, I just watch when I have more time. Of course, younger people leave the age group that most searches for this type of games and consequently we will see more young people being addicted to gambling and we will see governments pressuring casinos to limit or have more control over who creates accounts and plays in casinos

Multiplayer Gambling industry does provide a lot of benefits for the people stuck at home, they do not have a lot of options for going out and playing something therefore during the COVID, it's even more important, I know so many friends of mine who are not good with making any friends in real life but have amazing groups online and they are also hanging out in real life as well, it does create a strong community, international as well and it redefines the borders as a whole, I do think that Multiplayer Gaming might be one of the most important ones that are in there in the market for people, some of them are even developing over the years to be honest and still going strong in the market.

At this age, people who are interested in Multiplayer game isn't limited to the younger generation.  Remember GEN X who are already exposed to MMORPG would love to have this kind of gaming system.  Gen x are people whose ages are ranging from 42 to 57. What about the Millenials?  I bet they are most interested.


The attraction is way broader than we imagine.  Starting from Gen X to Gen Z would be attracted to this kind of gaming system in the gambling industry.



Well, it is really a boost for gambling society but I don't think that this thing will boost irresponsible people in the society.  Being irresponsible is a choice it is rooted deep in the personality of a person.  So whether they are involved in gambling or not, if they tend to be irresponsible, they will be irresponsible.

IMO, the audience this will attract the most is the younger generation, people who fall within the age of 18-35 years and love community involvement very well because of the sense of belonging that it provides.


Because Multiplayer gaming attracts the younger generation most in my opinion, the effect it will have if implemented in gambling system is that it will largely increase the amount of younger persons in gambling and will be ushering countries into an age where it will be difficult finding a young person who doesn't gamble.

For the gambling industry, it will be a boost...but for society, it may increase the number of very irresponsible young people and parents.

This is something I've always wanted to see integrated, beyond the point of games such as poker and blackjack type of games. Just that, I also know that the idea itself is REALLY hard to initiate since really, if it wasn't, then someone would've certainly done it already. It's going to be a completely new genre imo in comparison to MMO's, FPS, RPGs, etc., and would need a completely new system to integrate the luck factor properly so that "skill" wouldn't have a bigger influence than it.


Pretty sure it isn't technically ESports, there's always been a professional scene for gambling in general afaik. Wouldn't really let it fall gambling into the category of ESports, maybe this new multiplayer aspect could.

The reason why gambling companies are not capitalizing on such games is because most of the audience targeting this is juniors of age or just a bit over 18 people who game,I know there are some extreme cases including me which I still play my Xbox One and I am well over 35 years of age but most people as I said are of young age,not really a fruitful audience for the casino who wants people who can afford to spend more money than this target audience can.
Beside this most people who are seasoned gamblers already prefer their type of games and I haven't seen any seasoned gambler with more than 30-35 years of age being really interested in multiplier games betting.

Yes, there are and most of them are PVP or player vs. player.  The article is talking about something to develop where the house is also involved in this multiplayer game since, in most of these PVP games, the house is opt-out.

Indeed Bingo is a well-known social game but still, the house is opt-out in this wonderful possibly MMO gambling game.


The appearance of Esport in gambling is still young, it is still propagating so we just need to wait some years before we can see this kind of gaming go on par with other popular sports betting in the gambling industry

It seems like esports is a heavily competitive field with a huge fan base in the hundreds of millions. It's surprising that more gambling companies are not capitalising on these trends, because you tend to only see very old games like counterstrike and Dota accepting bets. I've seen FIFA short games on offer in one place but that seems to be the most recent example of a game you can bet on. It would get a whole new younger audience involved if they can offer tournaments in things like COD, battlefield and other titles.

As far as I know, there are gambling games that require the participation of multiple people? Is it not? Similar to this^[1]. Looking at the thread, I recall IOI racing doing both a signature campaign and an art contest in which I believe I participated, but their website is currently unreachable.

On the other hand, one popular multiplayer gambling game I know here in our country is "Bingo"^[2]. I am just not quite sure if other countries played this game as well. But yeah, I played bingo multiple times and it was both fun and annoying at times.

Pros
Multiplayer gaming is important to attract more audiences. It brings a sense of belongings to the user and meets the basic need of the individual in having a community. Players that are active in social interactions often stay and even encourage friends to join the platform.  With more people and peers involved, this may heighten the entertainment factor that a client received from the gambling site. Tapping Multiplayer Gaming and implementing it in a gambling system will definitely boost the gambling industry and may open or boost a new era in the gambling system.

Cons:
Another cause of dopamine overload.

Question in hand
What do you think is the effect of enhancing Multiplayer Gaming implementation in the Gambling industry?
