(Las Vegas).- Igaming is revolutionizing everything. But what do we mean when we talk about Igaming? To begin with, Igaming is the industry associated with casino games and sports betting that can occur virtually.

VR, Gambling and Metaverse: Why is a new paradigm neccesary?

This as a basis, but what if I told you that Igaming is not just a “product” or a “set of games”, but “a bridge of possible sensations”. Well, there I think you’re wondering, what is this guy talking about?

To start, “igaming” comes from an analogous Prehistory which is basically the history of games of chance. Its origins are in ancient China, when cards were already played and bets were made for fun. From there the famous betting houses in Europe and Las Vegas were born, until reaching the hundreds of online casino platforms that exist today.

And what has Igaming brought to this recreational evolution of games of chance?

Mainly the inter-connectivity and the wide range of technological and interactive resources that the Great History of Video Games itself and its father: Computer Science bring with it.

In addition to the above, and just as the development of computing was favorable for the development of video games, for Igaming the arrival of the Internet ensured an even greater projection. What else awaits us?

Today, in the 21st century and with the development of more immersive technologies, Igaming has begun to couple with Augmented and Virtual Reality. Technologies that promise to deliver digital experiences that are increasingly closer to the “analog” reality in which we live

And the truth of all this is that it is a truly revolutionary change. As we move towards the hybridization of digital with analog, concepts such as the “Metaverse” increasingly become not only real, but necessary. Precisely because the demands are different, the Ludic Culture of the World is different. Players seek to feel sensations that go beyond simply betting.

That said, the Metaverse is not only a “new virtual environment”, but mainly a New Paradigm, which invites us to see, think and feel immersive technologies such as Virtual Reality, under concepts never thought of before and a much more futuristic look. and aware of the speed of our times and the new generations of players.

Welcome to the Gamer Era of Gambling!
