This is already a thing on the poker tables, there is some software which you are allowed to run, like poker calculators or other software which may allow you to better understand the particular style of an opponent, but neither of those two different pieces of software play for you.

Poker bots have existed for a very long time, and as you may guess they are completely banned, and as soon as a casino discovers that you are making use of a bot then your account will get banned, and I do not see why the use of an AI could be exempt of those rules.

Even though there is already some software on the poker table that gamblers can use, it's not easy to get it. In fact, not every gambler can use the software.
Too much use of artificial intelligence is not a good thing either because it will only have the effect of dependency without any intention of being able to try one's own abilities.

Of course casinos will ban the use of poker bots because it is very detrimental to the casino, moreover using a poker bot is tantamount to playing unfairly.
Blocking gambling accounts because they have violated serious rules is a natural thing so that all gamblers will be able to realize that this is not allowed and can be a warning to other gamblers not to make the same mistake next time.

I have not taken the time to look at the kind of software that is available today for poker players, but poker bots were widely available years ago and I do not see any reason why it should be any different now, as even if casinos make an effort to catch all the commercial poker bots available for purchase a person with enough coding and poker skills could create their own without too much of a problem.

After all even if poker is a complex game, at heart it is a game dealing with probabilities, and computers are incredibly efficient at crunching numbers allowing them with the right programming to be way better than the average poker player.

There are some local games we will like to see on gambling platforms do that we can explore the betting world more since there are many games we have options to play but they are not always on crypto casinos for us to bet on. If many of these local games are available, we have going to make good use of it and have good fun while playing because is what we like to see.

But this local game doesn't necessarily exist in online casinos so we can't play it.
Maybe no developer has seen the need to be added to online casinos, be it fiat casinos or crypto casinos, so local games only exist in local casinos.
Gamblers who have often played gambling also know that and will choose the game they like.
And if they want to play local gambling games, they will go to local casinos. If they want to play online gambling games, they will go to online casinos to play other gambling games.
Maybe what the casinos need to add are more interesting promotions and I think sometimes casinos use promotions that are different from other casinos.

I had considered looking for a casino where they had rare games so I could have another type of experience, because most casinos always use the same range of games, and when there are casinos almost all of them tend to look the same, there are no others that have simple but authentic games. When we look at most reputable casinos, there are games that are slot machines, there are many and they have the same provider for others,so you just have to do a simple search, slot machines are the most classic, also games From craps to roulette, there are many things under which a casino can make a difference with authentic games.

I was talking about sports betting, but I'm pretty sure that AI can do nothing to improve your chances of winning in purely luck-based games, like slots, dice, etc, even theoretically. I mean let's forget about the current technical abilities for a second and try to imagine how AI can analyze a game's algorithm and turn it into advantage?

Now there is a lot of cheating in live games in the casino. It would be nice to create games with fairness control so that everything is transparent.
Also, through the blockchain, you can create a check on the outcome of the game in slots, so that the player can check after the game whether the results were honest

Something like this has existed for a very long time and reputable casinos let their players verify their results they got so they know they are not being cheated by them.

However I doubt many of those gamblers know those functions are there, and even if they do I do not think they know how to use them, which is a shame as this is one of the ways in which a dedicated gambler can catch a casino cheating, and if they did then the reputation of that casino will crumble down, as who wants to gamble at a casino in which you know you are being cheated?

With the correct set of data and training, it easily can. AI is pretty good with processing questions and providing answers based on that, have you used ChatGPT? If you did, you should know how it works and if it's implemented in a support chat and is trained with all the answers and data available for the casino, it can easily provide answers to questions.

And if there are questions that are not answerable by AI, they should be forwarded to a human operator. Most of the time in customer service, the questions are repetitive and almost are solvable with one solution and AI is pretty good with spinning the same text in different ways.

The chatgpt is a tool that can be given at any time to find answers to many things that we cannot do very quickly, calculations and things like that, in a game like dice where the AI can have that statistics could give us an answer to bet or how you could define what would be the number that will give, if it is lower or higher, we can use the AI in that way, but if a person wants to be given answers on how to play, it is not what will achieve, but quite the opposite, it will tell you that it cannot and that it was not programmed for it.

The enthusiasm over AI, specifically ChatGPT, is going too far, without a doubt it is a useful tool and given enough time it will become more refined as years go by.

But this particular kind of AI will never be able to give specific predictions about games or predict the next number on the roulette, and even if it could I doubt the developers behind it would like for their software to be used in this way, as if someone were to lose a lot of money by following those predictions this could create a lot of bad publicity for them.

Well, I don't know how they Intend to go further with the predictions, but Chatgpt up to now is what is being talked about the most, the paid version does many things, even videos if required, I have already seen it in some of the news that they are using AI to make Money with Only Fans, where there are women who are recreated by AI and they are taking over all the networks, now I imagine that the people who work with that will Find it much harder to make money using that platform., for Now what can be expected the most are the improvements that can be Made in terms of Prediction,Although everyone will go a little crazy Wanting to acquire such a tool.

Predicting a game's outcome and the next number on the roulette are two different things. The probability of a certain number to come up on the European roulette is 2.7%, and it is 2.6% on the American roulette. It is always like that, nothing can affect it, and you don't need AI to calculate it. Games, as we all know, may have different probabilities of their outcomes, and various factors can affect those probabilities. AI can take all those factors into account, analyze all of it, and come up with one of the best predictions possible. So, I'm not expecting from AI any help regarding roulette or slots, but in sports betting it can be very helpful.

A roulette wheel's number odds are locked in, but a team's victory likelihood in sports is subject to a myriad of factors – some beyond measure. Here's where human instinct kicks in.

Sure, AI can dissect stats and predict outcomes based on prior achievements, but can it comprehend elements like team spirit or a coach's master plan? That's a territory reserved for human understanding.

Now, AI ain't no slouch in the sports betting realm. It equips us to make sharper decisions, harnessing all available intel. But let's honor the indispensability of human input in sports.

I'm sure AI is able to analyse relevant articles in reliable sources regarding the current team spirit or a coach's master plan, and take that into account when calculating the probabilities.

I don't believe that adding more coin options will bring you more players as there's a lot of gambling site particularly web 3.0 where you can even place bet using some altcoins and some of them were not as successful as the others, if you are already established crypto I think the best way you can add to keep your players loyal is by giving them reward or promotion, who wouldn't want that isn't? Also, from time to time personal interaction with them and probably small gifts would build a relationship, not because you let them play in your site then you would ignore them sometimes building a relationship with your players would give you more profits.

Adding new coins is more often a need for casinos during the bull run, this is because as we know during that time new coins which no one has heard about can grow very rapidly and the holders of those coins may like to begin to use them for something other than just keeping them in their wallets.

That is when we see a demand for casinos to adopt those coins, and doing so as fast as possible can in fact give a big advantage to a casino over another, as they can gain a bunch of new clients by just adopting this new coin, clients which they can keep for a very long time with the use of bonuses and free bets.

In these moments, as the market is, it is good to add other currencies, why?there are many that are in projects, that have a good level to increase, also if one of those projects manages to enter a casino it is likely that the casino as the Owners of the currency can do incredible things, bring an entire Community of a project to a casino and apart from the traffic and movenments that will be given to the coin will be incredible, without thinking that the bitcoin when this currency rises,but even so it is Cheaper to play with the currency to avoid the high fees.

It's a fact that casinos can't keep up with the demands of users, because users demands are always endless, and these people can't be satisfied, I want gambling platforms to be more transparent though, but I don't think that's possible, if a big loss for a casino company when someone win big and it's a huge gains for them when many gamblers lose everything, since this is a battlefield I don't even know what to expect.

I understand what casinos are made of and I don't ever want to get too attached, I've seen too many lives ruined because of gambling, it's better to learn how to gamble responsibly before taking this road because it can lead to anywhere, including hell.

Casinos should always give back to the public, they should not be too strict with money making, I am not looking for giveaway but I know that casinos are one of the most flourishing business in the world.

What else should an established crypto casino add?

There is no end to human needs. The more you discover something new among people, the more people will look forward to something new. But after establishing a crypto casino platform, many feel that there is no need for anything else. But I think even after Casino side is established, we have to work in a more creative way to discover something better. Because to survive in this competitive world, you must work with more creative thinking. Always find something good to attract more people to the platform so that people come to your platform through that discovery. After the cryptocurrency site is established, if any currency is left out, then the currency that people like the most should be added. 24/7 service should be provided, no errors can be made there. Also if p2p system can be introduced in casino site then it will be most interesting.

You are just reasonable with this, many had indicated that they want AI to predict trading and games for them, how could this ever be possible to cry out loud? It pains me for the naivety of people as though they are lame in thinking, AI is good for what it could do, but not interfering with something that can illegally make money for the users, it's not possible. Like gambling, the system's algorithm is with the house and I believe AI will never hack it, it can only try to play intelligence, but such can't still work against what is wired to mainly favour the house.

My advice for gamblers like me is to have a strategy and gambling pattern and be sure to wait patiently for your lucky days.

This happens basically for two reasons, the first one is ignorance, people do not really understand how AI works at all, for them this is just a magical tool that somehow works, and as such they believe they can use it for everything and save themselves the trouble of learning how to do something by themselves.

Which leads us to the second reason why people believe they can use AI in this way, which is laziness, who has not dreamed about earning money while doing nothing? And some see this new tool as an opportunity to do this, unfortunately for them their dreams are never going to come true as it is not possible to use this AI in this way.

What else should an established crypto casino add?

Of course, every potential player first looks at the selection of games or deposit bonuses, and for most online casinos that is certainly something that attracts new players, but I would like to point out one more very important thing, which is customer support. In the event that some unpleasant situation happens (and there are quite a few in the Scam accusation board), every casino should react as quickly as possible and clear things up before the impression is created that someone has really been scammed.

I think that reputation is very important in this business, and every player will be able to appreciate the quick resolution of possible problems and will remain loyal to that casino and recommend it to others.

Casinos allow gamblers to generate both profits and loses across a variety of durations. A gambler will always choose the finest option provided by casino games, specifically game bonuses. Before betting on casino games, it's important to understand the risks involved; they're not always mapped out as planned, and they frequently go against us, always ready for the worst in gambling. In terms of customer service, it is one of the most important sectors to ensure that consumer demands and complaints are satisfied as soon as possible.

I think that reputation is very important in this business, and every player will be able to appreciate the quick resolution of possible problems and will remain loyal to that casino and recommend it to others.

Excellent customer support is undoubtedly one of the most essential things a business like gambling should have since most of the time, players run into issues within games or with their accounts or finances, and when the issues aren't resolved quickly or on time, a player simply prefers changing their casino and choosing another one over what they were on previously.

I've seen projects losing a lot of potential customers and eventually failing only for not having good enough customer support and taking good care of their customers since a business can only get successful if there are active and returning customers.

Excellent CS is best but nothing beats out that game offering and fairness would be the best and also with having that good UIX or simply its interface on which these are main things on which it would be hooking up people to stay. Well, all of those things mentioned are really that typical stuffs because its the common factors or things which a certain good casino should really have.They wont really just be focusing

on having a good customer support but also they would be mainly be focusing about on the game that they've been offering or simply in overall package which is something that would really be that common
approach. We cant really be having a good potential platform if they would be lacking one of those aspects.

Additional or features? Then this is where company owners would really be brainstorming about those new features or offerings which they could be giving out into public and would
be getting some nice feedback and recognition into it.
