How Technology Has Changed the Gambling Industry

October 28, 2019 Posted by Jonathan Adams Editorial No Comments

Gaming and gambling have been an interest for most people since the beginning of time. People love gambling so much that they were doing it a lot either for fun or for real money, even when there wasn’t an actual casino. There’s proof that the Romans, soldiers especially, were playing dice games and other forms of games of chance in ancient times.

It wasn’t until the Middle Ages that people began to realise that the gambling industry was a stable one. Since the opening of the world’s first casino, Casino of Venice in Italy, which is in fact still operative today, the number of casinos has greatly increased. They created a network of casinos around the world. Casino of Italy was opened for the public back in the XVII century. These casinos were all functioning by almost the same rules, and people were happy to spend their nights there.

The casino industry exploded when Las Vegas developed into the world`s favourite gambling destination. People from all over the world travel there to this day in order to try the newest casino & slots games as well as trying their luck at poker tournaments. Sin city has inspired other cities to invest in the gambling industry, but the real boom happened when technology evolved. Gambling became a phenomenon when the developers launched the first online casino that would change the industry for good.

Once gambling moved into the virtual world, it became even more comfortable and practical for users to gamble. The internet made gambling more accessible. The industry further expanded with the introduction of mobile devices. Gambling became fully portable and its users were thrilled.  Developers offered a large variety of games, multiple slots, movie slots, poker, blackjack, roulette and their different versions.

Soon players could enjoy live streaming while seeing the dealer and there started to be player generated online casino reviews. Image quality and audio clarity would only make players have an even more realistic game experience. They could believe they were in the physical casino from their couch. Developers are continually working to offer them the best possible gambling experience.

Nowadays, we are waiting for 5G technology to kick in, and when that does, there will be a revolution in mobile data.  It is likely we will see this new and innovative technology improve everything! This technology will increase account security and the fairness of the games, which is only good news for the players. Online casinos are using modern RNG technology in order to offer fair and ethical gambling experience.

Studies show that by 2022, the gambling industry will reach 81.71 billion dollars, and it will continue to grow. With that amount of money at stake, it’s no wonder that there are about 1.4 million fake websites to trick players and get their money.

Before deciding to play at a certain casino, players can visit websites that provide casino reviews. These are based on player-generated online casino reviews and offer information about each casino before registering and opening a real money account.

More good news for players is that blockchain technology can revolutionize the entire online gambling industry by offering them the trust and transparency they desire. Furthermore, they will never be denied their winnings, as most fake websites do. Developers are using this type of technology to create new casino products and services.

As you can see, technology is the main reason why this industry flourished and continues to strive year after year. Undeniably, without technology, it would have never evolved from the traditional casinos like the Casino of Venice to the vast online gambling that are in use today.

Thus, players get a wide variety of slots to choose from, more versions for the traditional table games, and so on. Technology, combined with innovation, was the main reason why a local leisure activity became a global industry.
