The rough idea of virtual reality can be traced as far back\u00a0as the 1800s. This is around when practical photography was invented. The\u00a0development of this idea started with the invention of the stereoscope. This is\u00a0a device that makes use of twin mirrors to project one image. That, however, is\u00a0a far cry from modern VR technology,\u00a0which\u00a0gives the user a fully realistic three-dimensional simulated experience. While\u00a0this is not as impressive as the entire VR concept, it is the birthplace of the\u00a0idea of virtual reality technology.<\/p>\n


VR and its place in gaming<\/h2>\n

Right now, VR has a myriad of uses, from aircraft training\u00a0to virtual gaming. There are three different types of virtual reality\u00a0experience. These are non-immersive, semi-immersive and fully immersive VR. Any\u00a0of the three can be used to make games come alive, literally. Among those that\u00a0have taken advantage of VR technology is the gambling world, particularly\u00a0casinos. Gone are the days when brick and mortar gambling dens were the in-thing.\u00a0According to stakeholders in the gambling arena, VR online casinos are the next\u00a0big thing, with a projected 800% growth in the industry within the next 3-5\u00a0years.\u00a0Casino VR and Slotsmillion are\u00a0some of the current players in this marketplace<\/p>\n

\"Slotsmillion
The heavy hitters<\/h2>\n

Slotsmillion is the\u00a0oldest VR casino around. It is an entirely efficient and controlled\u00a0Oculus-ready VR casino. Boasting the Innovation of the Year Award and close to\u00a0850 online slots games, it is one of the big top casinos<\/a> in the UK. Slotsmillion\u00a0gives its consumers a first-of-its-kind real online casino experience.\u00a0With a semi-immersive (or non-immersive)\u00a0virtual reality console, you can get an actual experience of what a VR casino\u00a0really is. This said, Slotsmillion only offers slots and does no card games. It\u00a0is important to note that online gaming is available in all three types of
\nvirtual reality.<\/p>\n


Casino VR, famous for its live online poker, is the only\u00a0other casino that offers online virtual reality gambling. It hosts tournaments,\u00a0live betting gambling and offers real prizes for games won. It features a life-like\u00a0gambling experience with players from all around the world. The unique aspect\u00a0about Casino VR is that it offers both slots and poke in fully immersive\u00a0virtual reality. It is, therefore, safe to say that Casino VR is among the big\u00a0top casinos in the USA.<\/p>\n


The relentless push to expand the frontiers<\/h2>\n

Game developers have also not been left behind. Net\u00a0Entertainment (NetEnt) is one of the top casino-game creators in the online\u00a0gaming world.\u00a0NetEnt has been able to\u00a0embrace the finest technology has to offer. In pursuit of this modern approach\u00a0to business, they have announced that they are launching the first ever VR\u00a0slot. They plan to do this by upgrading their leading game, “Gonzo\u2019s Quest\u00a0slot”. This revolutionary project is just a first step in the development of VR\u00a0online casinos.<\/p>\n


The concept of virtual reality has come a very long way.\u00a0Lots of industries and individuals have benefitted from it. Arguably though,\u00a0the gaming scene has been a greater beneficiary than most. Online virtual reality\u00a0casinos have gained the most out of all of them and are predicted to profit\u00a0even more from VR technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
