Live Casino & Virtual Reality in 2021
Wild Casino

Live casinos in the UK have been available since 2003. Live dealers are a popular option for online gambling. Virtual reality and augmented reality are being developed to attract younger demographics.  Gambling companies hope that new technologies will keep them on their upward revenue trajectory.

Virtual reality gaming has been around since 1995. It's been unsuccessful and has gone into hiding since 2016. Online casino developers face the same challenges as standard game developers. Players don't want to spend money on headsets and expensive computers. The process will unravel over the next decade as prices drop and the genre gains wider acceptance.

Microgaming was the first to bring VR technology into the iGaming space. Microgaming received the Innovator of the Year award at the International Gaming Awards for their work on the Oculus Rift platform.

Virtual reality is being used in live casinos and online slots. NetEnt is bringing VR into one of its most popular titles, Gonzo’s Quest.
