VR is crap. It is getting overhyped.
Online casinos > real life casinos > VR casinos
On some occasions real life casinos might be better than online casinos but on no occasion VR casinos are better than online or real life casinos.
In other words, there is no future for VR. Not for me at least, I know that much.
It is simply a technology which is at a very raw state of development, that is all. I believe it was the same when the first portable phones started to appear in the market, you know. They were of the side of a brick and you had to had a special little bag attaches to your belt, in order to carry them around with you, not even mention one could only make and receive calls with those, no text messages.
As technologies continue to advance, it will more likely form people to get a more appealing and affordable experience with virtual reality and casinos, in my opinion. As it stands for now, it is quite obvious one cannot expect most of people to own a Virtual reality set, in the other hand, it is more realistic to assume most of people own a smartphone, which is more than enough for them to gamble.
But I understand you lack of enthusiasm about VR, not long ago when Facebook started to talk about the Metaverse, it got all those invertors fired up on the idea of virtual worlds, only to deliver lackluster experiences with graphics out of reality 2000s. Only because Meta/Facebook failed on their mission, it does not mean someone in the future could try again and succeed, though.
The truth is that I have not had the opportunity to try casinos or have experiences in virtual reality, and the truth is that I have seen videos and people stay stuck there watching, they don't care much about the rest, in fact a movie that is very famous that It is about one of these types of games, where there was a site of very addicted people who, when they were put to sleep, came out in another virtual reality world, and that for them was the best, and they seemed like drug addicts but with a virtual world.
I couldn't say that the metaverses are bad, maybe they are not improved or we are asking a lot and it is not ready yet, or we expect very advanced things like the ones we see in the movies, but I would really like to have a good experience with casino or any other game that has to do with virtual reality, it catches my attention, I don't know if any casino can have this implemented where we as players buy the equipment to be able to play, above all I would like it if they could do it to play poker , where you can recreate an environment where there is a table, chairs and we move around as if we were an Avatar, I think that these types of things are of progress and the future.
It may be that as time passes these things improve and you have a very good user experience and opinions change from bad to good.
The problem with the Metaverse and Gambling is that people did not feel enthusiastic on it from the beginning because since the mid 2000's and the early 2010's there have been already many games and virtual experiences which have been more appealing and exciting to what meta/Facebook has to offer to their users in the 2020. Take a look at SecondLife for example, it is literally a complete Metaverse where people can do pretty much everything they want gambling included, not sure if it supports VR, though.
Even games from the 2000's like Grand Theft Auto San Andreas have casinos implemented which could easily be more appealing to the bad graphical and expensive experience Meta tried to shove into the throat of the Oculus Users. It was simply not worthnthe money, and to this day it is not.
Sure, with the time we all are going to see a good improvement on this area, the questions comes on whether it is going to be the next big thing or something more attractive will take over the attention of all gamblers out there.
Yes, of course, that is the case , the only thing they Could do is Something very futuristic, where people really like it a lot so that something like this can emerge, but they Should implement it in some casinos, at least in beta mode to see how things go. , that is something that we must consider, if in case the thing does not work, at least they would already have a platform set up , because at the moment this becomes valuable and expensive and many people would be looking for something like that and Obviously the casinos will want to have That Platform Style and of course the update represents spending money , because it is Technology.
But the most technological thing that can be Futuristic is that other options can be explored that draw the attention of players, because with Animations like those on PS5 and Xbox it could be something else, much more focused on what is real and what is many seek to obtain.
For me the success of these gaming stations is their advancement in the reality that their games show, if the casino can recreate things at that level a good change could happen.
