The Future of Online Casino Games
by Bodog Casino | Nov 6 2009
Do you remember online gaming 15 years ago? We doubt many of you do.
Online gaming (or
online gambling) was just in its infancy then, a twinkle in a dealer's eye. Most online sites offered only
blackjack, a
slot machine and some
roulette, and the trust between the casino and the consumer was almost non existent.
Obviously things have changed today. Type in online casino and you'll find thousands of sites that offer online gaming. And if you're looking for a specific type of game the online realm trumps the offline competition in terms of variety. You won't find the variety in Vegas that you can get in Bodog's online casino.
But has online gambling peeked? Where will gaming be when we fast forward another 15 years?
Vegas Jumps Online
You won't find a lot of Vegas owners who love online casino gaming. Who can blame them, Harrah's lost $415 million in 2008 alone. However, more recently there have been rumors that more owners are warming to the idea of having their games online. Why pay another billion for a giant resort with thousands of staff when you can set up a site for much less? We expect the future of gaming to make Vegas gaming and online gambling a seamless experience.
Real Dealers, Real Tables Online
How will Vegas make offline and online gaming a seamless experience? Bring real dealers online. The problem that online casino gaming still faces is gaining the trust of its players, trust will be much easier if they can literally see a real person dealing them blackjack or roulette. As time progresses we expect empty slots at Vegas casino games which are reserved for an “online player”; there are phones in Europe that are already testing out this technology.
Full Gaming Wherever You Go
More and more people are fitting their entire lives on portable devices. Expect the future to make it even easier to bring gaming with you. You can already get into Bodog's Online Casino on your phone with Bodog's
Mobile Casino but expect it to get even better. Right now only a few games - blackjack, a couple of slot machine - are available. We expect entire online casinos, complete with real dealers to be available on your new iPhone to be available within a few years. Cell phones that do everything seem to be the future of technology, expect online casino gaming to come along for the ride.
