If you’re a regular visitor to the site, you probably already know how popular gaming is. What you might not know is how gaming is influencing other industries – such as online casinos.

Gaming has surged in popularity in recent years. Almost two-thirds of American households are home to someone who plays video games regularly, according to a study by the Entertainment Software Association. Gaming is also highly popular in most of Europe, Asia, and the rest of the world.

Casinos have been popular for as long as recorded history, and online casinos have also become extremely popular in the past few years. One of the reasons for the explosion of online casinos is that they have incorporated aspects of gaming into their games. And one of the reasons for gaming’s success is that it too has incorporated aspects of online gambling. Read on for the top four ways in which gaming and online casinos have become interconnected.

Themed Slot Machines

Themed slot machines are an obvious inclusion in this article, being one of the most common types of online casino games. These days, most of the popular themed slot games look like they came straight out of the gaming world, including Call of Duty slots, Resident Evil slots, and Counter Strike slots. We’re yet to see a good Fortnite slot, but it is only a matter of time before gaming manufacturers bring out a Fortnite themed slot machine.

eSpots Betting

The example above shows how gaming has influenced gambling, but how has gambling influenced gaming? One example is eSports betting, which is becoming almost as big as eSports itself. eSports has become like sports itself, with big crowds attending and watching tournaments all over the world. Where there’s sport, there is always likely to be betting. eSports have all the unpredictability and excitement of real sports, giving online casinos the confidence to add eSports betting to their services. What we’ve seen with eSports betting in the past couple of years is just the beginning. This is sure to become a multi-billion dollar industry in its own right, providing the ultimate connection between the worlds of eSports and sports betting.

Video Game Gambling Machines

Gamblers can find skills-based video game gambling machines (VGMs) at certain land-based casinos, and these games will undoubtedly start appearing at online casinos in the near future. GameCo produced its first VGM for Caesars Atlantic City in 2016 with the aim of fusing together gaming and gambling. In the words of co-founder and CEO Blaine Graboyes, “I spent my summers growing up playing video games at the arcade on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City… Our goal is to create a VIP experience for gamers and the casino is the perfect destination,” he said.”

Gambling Games for Xbox and PS4

Gaming manufacturers have produced numerous gambling-style games for gaming consoles, showing once again that gambling has had just as much effect on gaming as gaming has on gambling. The Pure Hold’ em game has had success with PS4 and Xbox One gamers, the Four King Casino & Slots game has proved popular with PS4 users, and the Casino Nights game has received a tremendous reception on Xbox 360. These games turn the game console into a virtual casino, letting players walk up to a roulette table or sit down at a blackjack table just they would at a real Vegas casino. The secret to these casino-themed games is the same as for any other game: they are realistic.
