I don’t think a casino should develop games just to make people addicted to them and spend their money on them because gambling already does that for them. It’s a different thing, and there is a genre, but maybe a simulator would be OK. I know there are already games like that.

That’s not their expertise, and I don’t think it’s a good idea for them.

This still is a problem and I don't see it coming due to various reasons. For instance, if you're a decent, well earning developer, you don't need to go into gambling business. You can do a lot of money doing soft gambling, the way CS does with chests and keys. There's a lot of money in gaming and you don't have to start a casino.

Why is a casino type of play difficult and unpopular amongst developers? Because it restricts the accessibility as some countries have strict anti-gambling policies. Why would you do that when you can earn money by selling copies of your games in a country where gambling is restricted and earn similar amount of money?
Also, real gambling requires moderators because there's money at risk. This generates additional costs that developers want to avoid.

If you go in an online casino and try to find the most video game like gambling game, probably you'll end up playing slots.
Slots have nice animations, sometimes even feature very well drawn and animated characters etc.
The issue is that they're very repetitive. So I wouldn't call them a video game.

Now with crypto, there have been many attempts to create actual video games that tie with spending money.
You could call it gambling also. Some notable examples like Axie Infinity and Mir2 have integrated the NFT element with some success.

Other games have had success with in-game cash based purchases for years. See for example:
10 Most Expensive In-Game Items Ever Sold

You'll notice that most of these is Entropia Universe... Maybe you'll enjoy this short documentary-like video about Entropia Universe then: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTPLp5u3iSU
Entropia has largely been compared to gambling, although the publisher denies it. Yet they're quite successful at getting money from their player base. And it's a real game. You're free to interact within the game, although to do anything enjoyable you'd have to fork over a lot of cash.

So my questions is, if casinos see this, why don't they try to invest some money into developing actually playable video games? Stake is investing a ton of money on a game streaming platform for instance, seemingly trying to draw that crowd. Maybe a different casino could draw even more people with a decent game. Don't you think?

The fact is there's little overlap between video game studios and gambling companies. Gambling is banned in many jurisdictions so you would instantly shrink your audience or regions that would allow your game. Many video game companies will make money from things like loot drops and skins, which can often involve pay to play style micro transactions. These can be a lot more lucrative and be the main source of income for them. If there were to start mixing in betting they can be banned from countries for a long time and shrink their profit to zero in very lucrative markets.

I think the main point there is that, casinos are design for two main functions which is, offering gambling games for the fun and at the same time, running running the casino to generate profits, unlike that game you mentioned, it main aim is to take money from the m it players and anyone that get lucky could win a few bulk out of the many loses that could have been possibly been incurred in the past.

But like the other guys said, let say the game that you talk about in the last paragraph is highly enjoyable and competitive on a casino, there is nothing stopping other casino to feature such a game on their platform also.

Gambling enthusiasts don't seem to really like games like that, it seems a bit troublesome, gambling is designed to be as simple as possible, but your idea is quite good, because some players will also be interested in it, but it makes the casino a bit of a hassle

If a casino start anything new like having different games, and people are really playing it, you will see the game on other casinos as usual and it would be boring again just like you meant that the existing ones are boring now. But casino games are not boring at all, at least for me. I play roulette most time in casino and not even the slots that are so many and I do not see it boring, unlike normal games that I do not use money to play. I think using money to play the games as gambling is enough to make the game not boring at all.

I played axie infinity, and I want to say that sometimes it was an interesting experience. The game was not easy and I can not say that I played only for the tokens that I was given. However, for the first few months it was quite a good income, and when the tokens of this game were at the bottom, I stopped playing. But definitely axie was the first to combine NFT, luck and an interesting gaming experience, and this is a significant contribution to the development of cryptocurrency games.

They'd leave the development to Stake and until there is no breakthrough to new video games that promise better profit, casinos can just enjoy what works for them. Axie eventually slowdown actually so its success relies on a bull market, it's not their usual business route.

Even if there is a new interactive video game, I still doubt gamblers will be interested in these graphic intense games. The metaverse should really be a game changer but it seems to not happen in our lifetime.

Aren't this video games, such as Grand theft, Minecraft, Fortnite and Resident Evil? Because inasmuch as this is a good idea, and may sound cool, to me, I will say that when it comes to profit/revenue generations, the normal casino games will always do far better as compared to these type of games which aren't repetitive.  Because we all know that the average time frame for every casino games, such as slots, Blackjack and roulette are usually from zero seconds to ninety seconds (i.e 0 - 90seconds), whereby a casino is said to make profit every inter of each 90 seconds when the majority of gamblers who plays a slot game loses, and likewise lose money when the majority of gamblers wins their slot games. Unlike this game which you are proposing which may take longer time to earn, since it is a video game.

So, I think profit potential for casinos might have been the reason why they haven't introduced this technology.

Casinos are still very successful from just normal games that people can gamble on so some of them may not consider trying to go into video games that may be an entirely new market for them. I think the gamblers concern themselves mostly to have satisfactory service on games that are already familiar with and many gamblers are still okay to play on these casinos even though there are no games with close relations to video games that look like reality. This can be why we are not seeing moves showing strong considerations are being made about it.

The difference is there, when you're talking of video games in the likes of slots comparing to crypto games like axie afinity, many differences could be spotted out and this will also have to be more influenced by what we actually want, we can also agree that this will have to do with the location we are and the prevailing games that are occurring there, but at the end, everything may also be tied to what we want or prefer when it comes to gambling and how we could for for it as expected.

Video gaming already has elements of gambling integrated into it for anyone who loves the graphics of video games and enjoys the thrill staking on it adds. For this reason, lots of countries that placed restrictions on gambling usually do so with online video games too.

A casino cannot (or don't have the incentive to) invest heavily into the graphics of the game as they risk marketing themselves as a videogame company. Video game companies run the same risk when integrating options into their gameplay.

people who usually gamble don't prioritise the intensive graphics or interactive features they just want to keep things simple and most focus is on the money part, by keeping the games simple it allows the platform to reach every kind of devices cause it runs online but it will be internet speed demanding if they want to host high graphics in real time.

But it could be seperate niche to attract the gamers if they casinos want to invest on developing a game that could fulfill the gaming experience as well.
