Technology Advances in the Gambling Industry



The US is the most innovative market-place due to a highly consumerism driven society and highly advanced tech companies. The likes of Apple, Tesla and Microsoft (News - Alert) are a testament to US companies’ innovation and success. However, in industries which are only recently legal or restricted, the US tends to lag. One such industry is online casinos. With US deregulation in overdrive, US consumers will expect a high quality and innovative experience.



The US is undoubtedly the king of land-based casino, but some genuinely awful sites sadly occupy the online casino space. As the sports betting and online casino marketplace opens, - with popular providers in Europe offering bonuses such as the popular 777 Casino which you can view here - the US will look to leading European gambling tech companies for service delivery, innovation and perhaps a few acquisitions.

Live Casino

Live casino is proving to be extremely popular in Europe, and it’s a trend likely to be mirrored in the US. Live online casinos offer an incredible choice of games such as online roulette, poker, blackjack and baccarat. The leader of online live casino games is Evolution Gaming.

Evolution Gaming is by far the biggest and most innovative provider of online live casino games. In addition to the most comprehensive selection of tables, they offer enhanced features such as live interaction, real-time game stats and multi-game play (where you can play multiple games simultaneously). Evolution is one such company primed to take advantage of online gambling deregulation. Given they recently launched a new studio in North America, Evolution is ready!

VR

VR is still in its infancy, but some great online casino companies are offering VR slot technologies. SlotsMillion is touted as the first-ever VR Casino where you can play with real money. SlotsMillion has a selection of 50 different games including massive slots titles like Starburst, Gonzo’s Quest, Sparks, Twin (News - Alert) Spin, Mega Boy and Cloud Quest. VR slots even have their own promotions and bonusing. There are many popular providers in Europe offering bonuses such as the popular 777 Casino which you can view here within the VR game itself. 

As more online casinos realize the potential of VR, the choice of games will grow exponentially. Soon online punters will be able to play “live” in any casino in the world playing any game at the touch of a button. 

The small matter of the 5G 

T-Mobile recently flicked the switch on 5G. AT&T, Qualcomm, Sprint and Verizon (News - Alert) are all rolling out the new tech ready for consumers before the end of 2019. The Superfast gigabit speeds will let consumers access high quality live casino steaming products anywhere and anytime. With the data requirement issue solved, products like Virtual reality and Live Casino will benefit enormously as 5G will allow casino operators to offer higher-quality graphics and interplay.

In the highly competitive world of online casino, technological innovation is proving to be a key product differentiator. The US will need to look to European and Asian service providers and technology companies to offer high quality online casino products. The online gambling world is still in its relative infancy in Europe, but they do have a 10 to 15-year head start on US companies. Live casino operators like Evolution Gaming, slot game studios like NetEnt and VR casinos like SlotsMillion are set to benefit
