  • The Technologies that Changed Online Casino Gaming

    The Technologies that Changed Online Casino Gaming

    According to Statista, the global online gambling market is expected to grow to more than $92.9 billion by 2023. As of 2021, the total market size is valued at $59 billion, meaning the industry’s size will double in the next few years. So, what sustains the popularity and growth of the online casino industry? Aside from the growing interest from experienced and casual players, the casino’s popularity is due to new technologies and innovations. With new technology and innovations, players enjoy better, lucrative, and more immersive games. Here’s a look at the best technologies that redefine the online gambling landscape.

    Mobile gambling and mobile casino apps

    The use of smartphones to play online casino games is not new. But the current generation of casino apps offers players a more immersive mobile casino experience. Using these apps, players can enjoy a wide range of games from slots, table games to live dealer selections. Also, players can now choose between native apps and web apps. Both work on phones that run on the latest iOS and Android operating systems.

    AR and VR technologies that improve players’ engagement

    Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are popular technologies that improve the overall casino experience. With these technologies, players enjoy ultra-realistic images and sounds for an immersive experience. A VR allows a player to enter a virtual casino, navigate the virtual game landscape or even enjoy the games with other players.

    Netent is one of the pioneers in the industry that invested in technology through its Gonzo’s Quest VR. Introduced in ICE Totally Gaming in London in 2017, this VR-powered game is an improvement on the classic Gonzo’s Quest online slot. Instead of a passive player, this game lets a player enter the virtual world and join the playful Gonzo in search of the lost gold. Aside from slots, these technologies are now used in designing poker and blackjack tables.

    Blockchain technology and the rise of cryptocurrencies

    If there’s one technology that’s been dominating the internet right now, then it’s cryptocurrency. Whether it’s in investing or in business transactions, these digital currencies reshape online payments. Blockchain technology is a distributed database that’s shared among nodes in a computer network. It stores information in digital format and serves as the backbone of the most popular cryptocurrencies today such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.

    With blockchain technology, digital currencies enjoy a secure and decentralized record of transactions. These are the primary reasons why many casinos today welcome and accept cryptocurrencies. By using Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other cryptocurrencies, players can enjoy fast, secure, and instant transactions in an online casino. Thanks to its utility, you players can now find crypto-focused casinos. Its adoption also gives rise to the popularity of provably fair online casino games. These are casino games that run on blockchain and guarantees players the transparency of results.

    Numerous safe and reliable payment methods

    Another development in casinos is the introduction of safe and reliable payment methods. Players can still rely on traditional payments like credit and debit cards and bank transfers, but newer ways to send cash are changing the dynamics. In top online casinos, it’s now common to find several leading e-wallets like Skrill, Neteller, and PayPal. As mentioned, another important innovation is the blockchain technology that paves the way for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin. These digital currencies rely on peer-to-peer networks and not influenced by governments and Central Banks. Digital currencies like Bitcoin are known for their fast, instant, and secure casino transactions.

    New technologies mean improved user experience

    Online casino gambling becomes more entertaining with the use of new technologies and innovation. The games’ graphics and visuals are improved, and the math is solid. Also, these new technologies improve the players’ access to games, allowing them to enjoy these in different ways. It’s now possible to enjoy these casino games across devices and playing against a human dealer in real-time is now a reality.

    In short, both the casino players and operators are the winners in an industry that’s dominated and improved by new technologies. Casinos can leverage these technologies to boost their bottom-line, and players enjoy an improved user experience while playing for jackpots!

  • Are Bankers Ready To Become Gamers

    Are Bankers Ready To Become Gamers

    Play-to-Earn games where participants convert digital credits into real-world money are gaining in popularity and are the gaming industry’s next big thing. Blockchain-based technology is upending the gaming industry. Until recently, regular games didn’t offer monetary compensation to gamers. Instead, proceeds flowed to game platforms.

    These new types of play-to-earn games are an early iteration of what many see as the promise of Web3,» Alexander Braun, an executive director at Capco responsible for digital strategy and innovation.

    In the early web, referred to as web1, users consumed content in a way best described as read-only.

    Technological advances gave way to Web2, giving users read-write access, and enabling them to load content onto platforms such as YouTube and Facebook.  These platforms went on to monetize the shared content.

    Introducing non-fungible tokens (NFTs) allows players to earn and own digital assets, which they can convert into money and use outside the game. This decentralization of economic ownership is a key component of Web3.

    In this sense, these games have become virtual economies. The hype around NFTs and the metaverse are closely connected to this development, Braun says.

    The global video gaming market is estimated to reach $268 billion by 2025. This sum should be setting off alarm bells at banks.

    The NFTs earned in such games are manifold and include virtual characters, decorative items, and pieces of land, which players can earn and transfer into real-world money.

    Microsoft’s $70 billion planned acquisition of game developer Activision Blizzard last month, and Walmart’s filing of patents last year related to creating and selling virtual goods show the importance businesses are assigning to games and the metaverse.

    Some go as far as to say the paradigm shift in gaming could serve as a blueprint for the start of a new economy, based on a self-governing financial system. One in which the way people interact with traditional financial institutions and with governments will fundamentally change.

    This expectation is certainly the driving force behind the billions of dollars invested in blockchain-related projects, Braun says.

    Banks can enter the trend in different ways beyond the short-term gain of improving efficiencies and streamlining outdated processes. It is also a massive opportunity for them to generate new business, Braun says.

    Yet the discussion is currently dominated by the banks’ fear their role as an intermediary will be made redundant by blockchain technology, he adds.

    However, if banks learn the costly lessons from the software industry, which was afraid of being disintermediated by open-source-software in the late 1990’s, initially fighting it and almost going extinct in the process, only to later embrace it becoming all the more profitable as a result, they will have an important and very prosperous role to play in the future, Braun says.

    Or is the real question: will gamers become bankers before bankers become gamers?

  • Apple Music headed to PlayStation 5

    Apple Music headed to PlayStation 5

    In an unsurprising turn of events, Apple Music is about to make its debut on PlayStation 5, Sony’s hard to come by the gaming console. This would be the second major Apple service provided by Sony via its PlayStation console after the Japanese giant offered PS5 owners six months of free access to Apple TV+.

    Although the arrival of the app hasn’t been officialized yet, some Reddit users claim they have received the option to download Apple Music on their PlayStation 5 consoles, but the app wasn’t available.

    Eurogamer reports they have tried to download the app from a UK account, but they didn’t find the app. However, they did get the prompt to download Apple Music from a newly created US account.

    While PS5 users may not yet be able to download Apple Music on their consoles, the recent reports suggest that Sony is going to make the app available very soon. We’re not sure if this is such a big thing for Apple to announce its October 18 event which focuses on Macs, but at least we know the Apple Music app will sooner or later come to the PS5.

  • Google Play Pass gains a bunch of new games in July

    Google Play Pass gains a bunch of new games in July

    The gaming industry is a money-making machine having exceeded the movie industry, one of the most profitable entertainment businesses. There are many ways to make money in the gaming industry, but the simplest way is via subscriptions. Google and Apple recently adopted the subscription-based system that Microsoft and Sony have been offering to their customers for a very long time.

    Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus are some of the most popular subscription services in the gaming industry, but if you’re using a mobile device to play, you won’t benefit from these services. Well, technically, you could get Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and play console games on your mobile device, but you won’t get access to mobile titles.

    Google Play Pass offers subscribers access to hundreds of apps and games without ads and in-app purchases for just $5 per month or $30 per year. Obviously, the catalog of curated titles available under the service becomes bigger and bigger as Google adds new games to the offering.

    Starting this week, Google Play Pass subscribers are getting a bunch of new games that they can enjoy while on the move. Looking at the list of new titles added, it feels like there’s something for everyone.

    Tesla vs Lovecraft

    • An epic showdown between man vs monsters.
    • Price: $9.99 Free with Google Play Pass subscription

    Delight Games (Premium Library)

    • 70+ interactive volumes to immerse you in new worlds.
    • Price: $29.99 Free with Google Play Pass subscription

    WHO IS AWESOME

    • Price: $0.99 Free with Google Play Pass subscription

    Starman

    • Recover the light, and bring life back!
    • Price: $4.49 Free with Google Play Pass subscription

    Super Glitch Dash
    The ultimate twitch runner has arrived.
    Price: Free (No in-app purchases with Google Play Pass subscription)

    • Price: $1.99 Free with Google Play Pass subscription

    Summer Catchers

    • Embark on an epic road trip adventure of a lifetime.

    Dandara: Trials of Fear Edition

    • The world of Salt is on the brink of collapse. Its only hope is Dandara.
    • Price: $5.99 Free with Google Play Pass subscription

    The nine titles above add to the nearly 80 new games and apps that have been added to Google Play Pass since June 1, 2021. Of course, we expect more to be added in the coming months, so it seems like Google Play Pass might become a good subscription service if you’re into mobile gaming.

    Pokemon GO still going strong, scores $5 billion in lifetime revenue

    Well, what do you know? Even though we spent the past two years mostly locked up and homebound (pandemic and stuff), the AR game sensation Pokemon GO not only survived but managed to cross the $5 billion mark in lifetime revenue.

    According to a recent report by SensorTower, the AR title from Niantic has surpassed $5 billion from player spending since its launch back in 2016. The game remains vastly popular in the US, catching $1.9 billion, or 36.6 percent of its lifetime revenue in the country.

    People spending money on Pokemon GO seem to be almost equally distributed between Android and iOS, 52.8% and 47.2% respectively. The report also shows that the game generated $642 million in the first half of 2021, a 34% increase from the same period last year.

    Pokemon GO has been downloaded 632 million times to date, and there are no signs that the Pokemon craze will subside anytime soon.

    Facebook’s mobile cloud gaming service now covers the entire US

    Just like other giants in the industry (Microsoft, Google, NVIDIA), Facebook has its own cloud gaming service. Announced last year, the closed beta of Facebook’s cloud gaming platform promises to offer a decent catalog of games that can be played instantly, with no installs, while on the move.

    The service was launched with just a handful of cloud-streamed games on Android and web in select US regions. Today, Facebook announced that its cloud gaming platform is accessible to over 98% of people in the mainland United States.

    Also, the company revealed that it’s on track to hit 100% by fall of this year and that it will start rolling out the service in Canada and Mexico. By early 2022, Facebook plans to reach Western and Central Europe with its cloud gaming platform.

    The announcement includes one other highlight that involves a new partnership with a major game developer: Ubisoft. Under the new partnership, Facebook’s cloud gaming platform will add more titles to its catalog starting with Assassin’s Creed Rebellion, which was launched as a cloud-streamed game on Facebook Gaming.

    Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed game can be played on the Facebook app on Android and the web (via fb.gg/play). In addition to Rebellion, Facebook has added two other Ubisoft titles to its portfolio of streamable games: Hungry Shark Evolution and Hungry Dragon. Two others will be added in the coming months: Mighty Quest and Trials Frontier.

  • Both Epic and Apple land solid blows as the court battle begins

    Both Epic and Apple land solid blows as the court battle begins

    Today was the first day of the court battle between Apple and game developer Epic. The latter sued Apple after the tech giant tossed its red hot Fortnite game out of the App Store. Apple did this after Epic violated Apple’s rules and gave its customers access to the developer’s own in-app payment platform.

    Seeking Alpha reports that during Epic’s opening statement, the developer explained that Apple has made iOS “a walled garden” which not only blocks competition but also makes it harder for iPhone users to switch to Android. And speaking of anti-competitive behavior, Epic says that Apple’s demand that apps offering in-app purchases use its payment platform violates federal anti-trust laws. Apple collects 30% of in-app purchases and at the same time, it is forcing developers to run in-app payments through its platform.

    Other companies who have complained about the so-called Apple Tax include Netflix and Spotify. The latter brought its argument to the European Union a couple of years ago saying that thanks to the 30% Apple Tax, Apple Music has an advantage over Spotify and other streaming music apps that have to cough up the additional 30% that Apple Music doesn’t have to pay.

    Epic says that requiring third-party apps to sell their wares through the App Store and forcing them to tack on 30% for processing in-app payments is actually a violation of federal antitrust law that prohibits companies from tying a product or service to the sale of another. Epic attorney Katherine Forrest’s highlight phrase of the day: “When they pick up the iPhone, users enter a different world. They are locked into a closed platform where they can only download apps from Apple, and each and every time they purchase in the app, a 30% tax is imposed.”

    Epic also refuted Apple’s claims that the rules Apple created for the App Store help it maintain the quality and security of iOS apps. This is a claim that Apple has made before.

    In its opening arguments, Apple stated that its 30% fee is in line with industry standards and that allowing apps like Fortnite to side-load its own in-app platforms could lead to security issues. Where Apple might have scored points with the judge is when it noted that Epic never informed Apple about its in-app payment system until the day it launched while Microsoft was given advanced notice.

    Apple Attorney Karen Dunn said during Monday’s court session that “A $20 billion company has decided that it doesn’t want to pay for Apple’s innovations anymore. So Epic is here, demanding that this court force Apple to get into its App Store untested and untrusted apps — something that Apple has never done.”

    In giving the court reasons why Epic can’t win the case, Apple claims that the game developer is using the incorrect version in its antitrust claim. Apple states that Epic is unable to show anti-competitive behavior on the part of Apple and the latter says that it can show pro-competitive justifications.

    Apple also mentioned that the appeals court that sided with Qualcomm in its case against the FTC, a case that the FTC decided not to take back to the Supreme Court, ruled that “while anti-competitive behavior is illegal, hypercompetitive behavior is not.” Apple obviously believes its actions are in the latter category.

    Epic’s CEO Tim Sweeney took the stand today and said that Epic isn’t asking for Apple to eliminate the compensation it receives from in-app purchases. But he pointed out that the Apple Tax can result in Apple making more money from an app than the app’s own developers.

    While Apple has been trying to show that there are plenty of other app stores that Fortnite can be listed in, Epic’s top executive said that Fortnite is more than a game. He called Fortnite a “phenomenon that transcends gaming” and a “social and entertainment experience that includes a variety of gaming experiences and non-gaming experiences within it.” This means that such a title needs a top app storefront like Apple’s App Store to help promote it.

    While Apple’s App Store takes as much as a 30% cut of in-app purchases, Epic’s own app store grabs a 12% cut and is “hundreds of millions of dollars short of being profitable.” Sweeney says that Epic’s app store could turn profitable some time over the next two to three years.

  • Vietnamese studio bags $1 mln funding for new blockchain game

    Vietnamese studio bags $1 mln funding for new blockchain game

    Vietnamese game studio Topebox and its blockchain partner KardiaChain have raised $1 million for an upcoming blockchain game called My DeFi Pet.

    The investors include Shanghai-based venture capital firms Axia8 Ventures, OKEx Blockdream Ventures, and the venture capital fund of cryptocurrency exchange OKEx in Hong Kong. Vietnam-based venture capitalist Megala Ventures and Chinese game developer Animoca Brands have also pitched in.

    Based in HCMC, Topebox is the developer of hit games like Pocket Army, Sky Dancer: Free Falling, and King Rivals. It had bagged $1 million in the seed funding round from Singapore’s mobile game publisher Habby in April last year.

    My DeFi Pet is its first blockchain gaming project, which is set to launch globally in mid-May. The game will include decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible token (NFT) features. NFT is a unit of data stored on blockchain that certifies a digital asset to be unique and therefore not interchangeable.

    Accordingly, players can earn tokens while playing the game, get rewards by participating in the game’s events and make profit from selling in-game characters.

    The Topebox developer team includes experienced game producers from Vietnam’s gaming giant VNG and leading global mobile video games developer Gameloft.

    It aims to have it business appraised and valued at $150 million in the next 3-5 years.

    Before My DeFi Pet, Vietnam had developed another blockchain game called Axie Infinity, released in 2018. It was developed by Vietnamese game developer Sky Marvis and was the first blockchain game developed in Southeast Asia.

  • Asian Gaming Giant Adds Bitcoin to Balance Sheet

    Asian Gaming Giant Adds Bitcoin to Balance Sheet

    Nexon has joined other publicly listed companies such as Microstrategy and Tesla in holding the cryptocurrency as a hedge against inflation.

    The South Korean-Japanese video game publisher purchased some 1,707 bitcoin for about $100 million, equivalent to less than 2 percent of the company’s total cash and cash equivalents on hand, it said in an announcement this week.

    Nexon owns major gaming franchises including Maple Story, Kart Rider and Dungeon & Fighter. It is listed in Tokyo and is part of the Nikkei 225.

    Our purchase of bitcoin reflects a disciplined strategy for protecting shareholder value and for maintaining the purchasing power of our cash assets, Owen Mahoney, president and CEO of Nexon, explained in the statement, saying the company needs to think seriously about the future purchasing power of our cash in a world of potential currency debasement.

    In the current economic environment, we believe bitcoin offers long-term stability and liquidity while maintaining the value of our cash for future investments, he added.

  • Vietnam has most adult gamers globally

    Vietnam has most adult gamers globally

    Vietnam has the highest number of adult gamers in the world in 2020, according to a recently released global consumer survey by German data portal Statista.

    Ninety four percent of Vietnamese said they gamed at least occasionally while nearly 20 percent said they were frequent gamers, according to the Statista Global Consumer Survey.

    Eighty five percent said they gamed on smartphones.

    Besides Vietnam, other developing countries like Nigeria, Thailand and the Philippines also reported high numbers of adult gamers, aided by their younger demographics.

    Smartphone gaming has won over people not previously invested in the activity by giving them easy access at low or no initial cost.

    The Statista Global Consumer Survey polled 1,000-4,000 respondents between 18 and 64 years of age in 55 countries and territories.

    Vietnam is a growing market for e-sport and online games. An earlier Statista report said online game revenues in the country this year are expected to top $10.1 million, up 16 percent from 2019.

    Another study by market research company Niko Partners and Google earlier this year forecast Vietnam’s e-sport market to achieve the highest five-year compounded annual growth rate in Southeast Asia, from 2018, of 28 percent.

  • Food, gaming and business app downloads soar during crisis

    Food, gaming and business app downloads soar during crisis

    App downloads have soared during the coronavirus crisis, with the business, food & beverage and gaming categories showing the highest growth.

    SaaS company Adjust has published in its App Trends 2020 report, in which it compares app downloads data from the first quarter of this year with the same period in 2019.

    Adjust says business app sessions have undergone a huge rise (an increase of 105 percent over last year), with app downloads surging 70 percent. Revenue events have risen 75 percent, as users select premium app versions to assist the transition to work from home.

    With many restaurants forced to offer takeout-only meals, F&B apps also saw a major increase in sessions (up 73 percent on this time last year). Installs of these apps have gone up by 21 percent.

    But the fastest-growing category for app downloads was Gaming, with a 132-per-cent increase during the last week of March alone. There was a 47-per-cent year-on-year increase in gaming sessions and a 75 percent increase in installs in the first quarter of this year compared to last year.

    “Beyond these increases in installs and sessions, the report shows little evidence to suggest that there’s been a fundamental shift in user behavior post-install,” said Adjust co-founder and CTO Paul H. Muller.

    “Users are still taking the same actions in-app, such as averaging a little above two sessions a day, to churning at predictable points in the customer journey.”

  • Niantic increases Pokemon GO storage limit

    Niantic increases Pokemon GO storage limit

    Great news for Pokemon GO players, especially veterans who’ve played the game for a very long time, as Niantic has just announced another limit storage increase for its mobile game. This means that Trainers will now be able to catch and store no less than 3,000 Pokemon without having to transfer any of them.

    Keep in mind that you will still have to pay for the extra storage space, just like you did until now. Pokemon GO has a free storage limit of 300 Pokemon and 350 items, but you can purchase additional storage space up to 3,000 Pokemon and 2,500 items.

    Last year, Niantic increased the Pokemon GO storage limit from 1,500 to 2,000, and once again to 2,500 several months ago. Well, it looks like many players have already hit that limit forcing Niantic to further expand storage limit.

    In case you’re wondering how much it will cost you to hit the 3,000 Pokemon limits, you can do the math considering 200 Pokecoins will get you 50 slots (Pokemon or items). Of course, you can buy Pokecoins for real money or get them via in-game rewards and bonuses.
