How will Technology Change Online Games in the Future?

It's no surprise that online casinos are slowly taking over the world. In about 15 years this industry has managed to become one of the most popular digital entertainment services and for a good reason: they are way easier to use and are way more comfortable than real-life casinos.

The enhancement we have seen after the first online casino which was established in 1996 is unbelievable. Recent technologies have given providers the chance of creating amazing games and services for interested gamblers.

When you think about the fact that online casinos have developed this much in such a short period of time, it makes it hard to imagine what they will be like in another 15 years. But we can still make some predictions with the knowledge that we have at hand. One thing we know for sure is that they will be nothing like the online casinos today. We also know that artificial intelligence (AI) is going to play a huge role in online casinos creating more and more appealing and competitive offers.

Technological advancement

We already know how important technological development is for any digital business. But nowhere it is as important as when it comes to online casinos that basically thrive from new discoveries. Scientists all over the world are talking about the importance of artificial intelligence that has been evolving very rapidly without human input. This is done using a program that is based on years of AI research. This program discovers algorithms using a loose approximation of evolution. To do that, it starts by creating a population of a bunch of algorithms by randomly combining mathematical operations. Then, it tests them on a simple task, such as image recognition, where it has to decide what the picture shows. This program is way more simpler than today's most developed and advanced algorithm.

The interesting thing is that people may not even realize just how important this is for online casinos. If used properly, this could mean that artificial intelligence can actually play for gamblers who play at a casino online. This will cutback the effort online gamblers put into playing even more. It will decide which games to play according to the highest chances of winnings, it will find the best bonuses and promotions and easily scheme through the sea of content to get to the most valuable offers. But we still have a while until this happens as the development of an AI algorithm takes time.

Future Gamers

Everyone knows that the number of gamers is astronomical and is still increasing daily. These people spend hours upon hours in front of the screens. The World Health Organization has already declared gambling as a form of addiction and scientists predict that the situation will only get worse.  This includes gamblers as well who can now enjoy themselves at an online casino at home without even having to make a move. Even though this seems like a very captivating perspective one must always remember to take breaks and make sure that they get some sort of physical activity. A recent study published an image of an average future gambler. The image caused a lot of backlash from the gaming society. The reason for the negative reception of this image can be associated with how accurate the image is.

The future gambler, due to the lack of physical activity and unhealthy habits, in general, is predicted to have severe digital eye strain and black rings under the eyes due to the time spent in front of a screen. S/he is also said to experience hair loss as the vitamin D, which is what strengthens our hair, mostly comes from sun exposure that every gambler lacks, due to constantly being at home. Other possible qualities include hairy ears, deformed hands, rounded shoulders, obesity, eczema and a whole bunch of other unattractive alternatives.

Conclusion

With the rapid technological advancements, especially in the field of artificial intelligence, we should expect major developments in the industry of online gambling. With different programs taking over, humans will have to put less and less effort into gambling. But this can become an alert for health if conceived improperly. Because of all the dangers that spending a lot of time in front of a screen brings together, it is important that gamblers remember to go outside once in a while and make sure they are getting at least a little physical activity so that they don't turn into Michael, the average future gambler.
