Gaming Club, the massively successful internet gambling site, which boasts online casino Australia and European variants, has announced its intention to further explore the possibilities that 3D offers for casino games.
3D has proven to be box-office dynamite since its revival by Hollywood, and with the costs involved in the technology falling as audiences grow more accustomed to 3 dimensional images, the online gaming industry is optimistic that it could boost profits in their sector as well.
Not that it is struggling just now, with revenues for online gambling across the world having hit nearly $30 billion in 2011. This success has been founded on a willingness to adapt to new technologies, beginning with the shift online, and Gaming Club has proven one of the most enduring as a direct result of being adaptable. In recent times the company introduced iPhone casino and iPad casino games via its mobile casino site at www.gamingclub.com/mobile-casino.aspx, making the move to embrace 3D technology just the latest step in enhancing the quality and convenience of online gaming.
Judging by the movie industry, consumer demand is there, as the 18% rise in profits from 3D films has led Disney to embark on further 3D projects for 2013, and it has been similarly successful in the television industry, with Sky developing further channels dedicated to 3D and covering this summer’s Olympics using the format. In casino gaming terms the technology is still basic, with limited graphics, but has already been adopted by all the main companies for the major games.
The limitations with the format lie in the cost and the need for intrusive 3D glasses, but 60% of online gaming enthusiasts have indicated that they do not mind the glasses, while companies like Nintendo have developed devices like the 3DS that allow users to experience 3D without the need for them. Thus, if Gaming Club are to be proven correct, it is up to the industry and designers to create the kinds of 3D casino graphics that will make consumers want to make the switch.
