Mobile Casinos are definitely no longer a curiosity, but a prerequisite. An astonishing piece of info tells us that in 2016 the revenues generated by mobile gaming finally surpassed those by console and PC gaming. More specifically, mobile gaming earned €36.9 billion compared to PC gaming, which generated €31.9 billion, and consoles, which earned €29 billion.
Naturally, there is no going back. With smartphones advancing daily, improved graphics, and more sophisticated designs for smaller screens, the future of mobile gaming really isn’t an issue. It’s going to bloom and we’ll be there to witness it, our phones at the ready.
So far, the introduction of VR headsets like the Oculus Rift, Samsung Gear VR, and Playstation VR has helped bring virtual reality games and casinos closer to players in the world of gambling.
Admittedly, there are still technical difficulties that VR developers are having to deal with on a daily basis – for example, significantly lower quality graphics in virtual casinos compared to those of online casinos and mobile casinos – but they’re getting there.
Now, this trend isn’t really technology-based, but you’ll agree it’s without doubt severely impacted gambling in the past and will only continue to do so. As regulatory bodies come up with new – and stricter! – rules, online casinos, and software providers learn to adapt and find ways to adhere to them without losing their grip on innovation and creativity.
And, finally, cryptocurrencies. Everyone talks about them, everyone wants to have or trade them and the world of online gambling is, frankly, where cryptocurrencies are thriving. What’s more, Bitcoins are no longer the only cryptocurrency the world knows; Ethereum, Litecoin, Dash, Ripple, and Dogecoin are just some of the rising stars that have followed Bitcoins to the cryptocurrency stardom.
When it comes to Bitcoins specifically, there is an ever-growing number of online casinos that accept Bitcoins in addition to regular currencies, so cryptocurrency slash gambling aficionados are looking at a very bright future.
