Do You Want the Capability?

The cost for the average person to experience Virtual Reality fully is in the region of £1000, and this is because less than 1% of the world’s computers have the graphical capabilities needed for the full VR experience, and of course, this high cost does put some people off.

However it should be remembered that as with many other new technologies, the potential of VR can easily be forgotten as just another buzz word, something flashing past us rather than living, breathing technology which enjoys applications is nearly every sector from iGaming to medicine and business.

This reluctance for the general populous to embrace new technology fully is nothing new as we are a cynical bunch liking to wait to see what happens first.

Luckily for us, there are some that will embrace new technologies and pioneer innovative ideas, and the gambling industry is one such industry.

In fact, the gambling industry has never been one to sit back and let another take chances, and because of this the world of online gambling or iGaming as it is more commonly known as now is doing pretty well. Back in 2015, the industry hit a pretty good $37 91 billion and by 2020 that figure is expected to hit at least $59.79 billion.

This is a long way from the once terrible experience that was suffered by anyone who fancied a game via their mobile devices. Let’s face it screens were tiny, Wi-Fi was poor and the potential of a game crashing half way through simply put the majority of people off from attempting a game or three.

However, with the advancement of technology and they way that the gambling industry took that on board we now experience something totally different.

Smartphones have larger screens and the innards to comfortably run games that are entertaining and enjoyable. Sites like Fruity King Mobile Casino provide a high-end gaming experience with bonuses and promotional offers which can be used by the mobile players as well as those that still like to use their laptops or computers from home.

In fact, nowadays more people enjoy using their mobiles in order to have a bet and because of this sites now offer banking options that include BOKU which is a payment option where players can pay for their games using their monthly contract bill or the cost of the games deducted from their pay as you go account.

There is no doubt they are part our world and our lives are increasingly becoming busier. This means that anything that makes things a little easier is welcomed, even when it comes to our leisure time. Being able to choose when and where to play, even if it just for a few minutes on a lunch break or whilst waiting for a train is a plus point.

Virtual Reality might not be portable at present but it does have the ability to join players together throughout the world, and that in itself opens up a realm of possibilities.

If you begin to think about playing in say a VR casino with the whole wrap around 3D experience you begin to see the possibility of linking up players from all over the world to sit at a poker table for instance during the World Series of Poker.

It’s an interesting thought that tournaments and the such like could be played in VR.

We have to wait to see if the general public adopts VR but it is here to stay, whether the gaming industry manages to make it as successful as their mobile sector we shall have to wait to see.
