When gambling machines started to appear in the early 20th century it was thought that nothing could be more advanced, nothing could be more impressive or exciting. Then those gambling machines, those one armed bandits, turned into slots, like you find on Wizard Slots Games, then into video slots, then into online gambling which first started to appear in the 90s.

It seems that every decade there are new and improved elements to add to the slots that we know and love and that we don’t think can get any better than they are. So by that token, we should assume that slots are going to change over the next 10 years or so. Here are some ideas about what might happen.

Cryptocurrencies Influence on Slot and Casinos

Something that is likely to become more widespread in the next decade is the use of cryptocurrencies for online slots. At the moment, this is a rare thing indeed, but these virtual currencies – bitcoin being the most famous, although there are others – are growing in popularity, and more and more people are finding they like the idea of using a currency that is truly global and that isn’t controlled by any government.

Since this is the case, it seems to make sense that online casinos like Wizard Slots will start to take cryptocurrency as well as or even instead of (eventually) standard currencies.

A Rise in Online Slots and Casino Sites

Something else that is likely to change in the next decade is the number of online gambling sites you’ll be able to find, particularly those with slots on them. The number is going to rise rather than fall, and this is due to two things. The first is that the owners of physical casinos will see a drop in revenue as fewer people will use them – it’s easier to play online and with the new technology and impressive gameplay, it’s just like the real thing anyway. This means those same owners are likely to break into the online casino field and so there will be new sites run by them that players can use.

Secondly, it’s because online gambling is just so popular. More and more people are discovering what it is like to play, and they are liking it. A lot. So of course, those who are able to create online sites will make more and cash in on the upsurge.

Virtual Reality? The Next Step in iGaming

Virtual reality has been around for a good few years now, but it’s finally got to the stage where it’s affordable, meaning that people can actually have it and use it in their homes. They can use it on all kinds of video games to enhance the action and make everything seem more realistic; it’s a fun way to play.

So of course, why would online slots, which, after all, is just another form of video gaming although with added gambling involved, not have the option of virtual reality as well? The fact is, they will. You should be able to, in the next few years, be able to play your online slots via virtual reality so that you feel as though you are pressing the buttons and it’s all happening right there in front of you.
