Technology: social benefits in online gaming

There’s no doubt, industry insiders and annalist agree that online paid gaming is the future of the gambling industry, despite any bumps in the road caused by government regulations and harassment. Nearly 15 years of continued expansion and wide acceptance from gamblers is one proof of this. The ever increasing ease of use and trustworthiness of it’s technological foundation is another.

Let’s explore the future and benefits of online paid gaming further.

Legal or not?
The general consensus seems to be tipping towards regulations being liberalized in the near future concerning on line gambling. The current bans drys up a potential tax revenue gold mine, and the desire for players to play on line is certainly there. The arguments against seem less and less convincing even to conservatives on the issue every day. Legalizing online poker alone, one study says, would give the government 6 billion dollars in revenue. With the current fiscal crisis getting worse and worse, don’t be shocked when the consensus switches gears and legalization of online gambling becomes the new talk of the town on Capitol Hill in the near future! The voice of the prohibitionists get’s meeker ever day.

Explosive Online Paid Gaming Software Upgrades
Every month there’s new software advances on the gambling sites. Beyond security and speed upgrades, new interesting games are added and the graphics get better and better. Expect in the future for this to steam roll at a greater and great rate. Don’t become too attached to cheesy cartoon avatars,that’s for sure. Expect 3-D images and life like figures in the near future to make the games even more visually exciting and enticing! Virtual reality gambling is coming, and coming fast. Just another reason to skip the brick and mortar casinos and gamble in the comfort of our own homes!

More Social Integration
Influenced by social networking sites, gambling sites will move further and further into encouraging social interaction between players, should they want. Live chats, video chats, private tournaments based off of friends lists and more will be expanded to make gambling sites a social meeting place as well as a place to try their luck on a free blackjack table for example or try to win money and have fun. This will certainly help build brand loyalty to the first gambling site who executes these concepts most effectively. Market dominance is a real possibility on the level of a Facebook for the first site to really hit a grand slam here. Expect the competition to be very fierce to deliver the best social integration and to deliver it soon.

The future benefits and technology of online paid gaming are so bright they’re blinding. With online gambling somewhere in the neighborhood of a 80 billion dollar a year operation, if the numbers are to be believed, how could it not be? Some of the brightest minds in gaming and in technology have thrown their hats in the online gambling arena and pushed their chips “all in.” Don’t bet against them if you like the odds in your favor. Government bureaucrat or not.
