VR Slots and Games
Virtual reality is moving casino play from flat screens into shared 3D spaces. This piece looks at where VR slots and live games stand today, what hardware players actually use, and how studios design for short, social sessions.
What VR adds to online gambling right now — and what’s still missing.
Factbox
•Today: novelty UX, small but growing librarie
• Barriers: hardware cost, motion comfort, licensing
• Near-term wins: VR lobbies, live-table presence, bonus rounds
• KPI to watch: session length, retention vs. fatigue
Core points
VR shines in presence and social layers; pure slot math stays the same. Expect hybrid flows (flat page → VR bonus) in the next wave.
Verdict
Pros: memorable moments, brandable experiences.
Cons: install friction; limited content.
Note: keep RG front-and-center (timeouts, budget prompts).
