Whether it’s consoles or online casino gaming, technology ensures a truly authentic and immersive experience for the game’s audience.

The rise of virtual reality, a digital invention that creates a virtual world for people to play in, is the latest breakthrough in the gaming industry, and it will soon to become commercially available.

Here’s a look at the way technology is paving the way for the gaming industry.

The Internet

The internet was the first major breakthrough for the gaming industry and has led the way to building gaming consoles that allow people to connect with gamers on the other side of the world.

The internet made online casinos exceptionally popular and this is now evolving into to more versatile forms of game play in the form of mobile, tablet and hand-held game consoles.

These allow players to connect to the internet effectively and play the games they love without being chained to a PC. In fact, mobile gaming with online casinos is now so popular that they’re being included in the Gambling Commission’s annual report.

It generates a large amount of revenue that is predicted to take over even the largest ‘real world’ gambling destinations in the world in just a few years’ time.

Video Games

Video games are hugely popular, and the technology behind them is continually improving to allow people to interconnect their devices and play with friends around the world. Video graphics are better and the hardware is more powerful than just a few years ago.

Demand for more powerful systems is allowing technology to continue to evolve and produce aspects of gaming that are so immersive it feels as if you are really there.

The most recent step towards this was augmented reality, with the popularity of Pokemon Go showing just how successful augmented reality gaming can be. With this people are continually demanding an even more immersive experience.

Online Gambling

Online gambling has seen a huge increase in popularity over the years, and with an exceptional increase in wide accessibility of various sites on a player’s computer, mobile phone and tablet, there’s no betting against its popularity continuing to grow.

With this, many online gambling sites are looking to create a more immersive gambling environment, which keeps people gripped.

The future of poker has been linked with the rise of new tech – virtual reality is the latest breakthrough to be used in online gambling, and it’s certain that poker and online casinos are going to be around for a long time to come  in the digital world.

Virtual Reality

Virtual reality is the latest breakthrough and the gaming industry is busy providing a brand new experience for players.

The idea of virtual reality has been around for a long time, but it has grown up and is only just coming into commercial use. Virtual reality can help to recreate a truly authentic casino experience, with bright lights of Las Vegas and sophistication of Macau being closer than ever.

Now people won’t have to jump on a plane in order to head to the gambling tables and feel like they are really there. Instead all they will have to do is slip on a virtual reality head set and transport themselves away from the realm of everyday life.

Three dimensional and completely immersive, it will be a huge jump for gaming. You can run around the Grand Theft Auto maps as if you were really there rather than holding a controller, and you can meet life’s earliest forms with David Attenborough’s first life VR exhibit, or you can play poker with some of the pros.

The possibilities with virtual reality gaming are endless, and there’s plenty more to come.
