Can you read this, online gambling fans? Are you getting a headache? No clue as to what I’m talking about? Well, I’m thrilled to announce that this is the first ever online casino-related post written in 3D! That’s absolutely correct, if you don’t have the appropriate glasses, you will not be able to see all the CGI embedded here. (Don’t look now but three poker chips just jumped off the page.)
Ok, ok-so I’m in a bit of a silly mood again but as we all know from the insane success of “Avatar”, 3D is where it’s at. With online gambling being at the forefront of what’s hip on the internet, it’s not at all surprising that one online casino site will be launching a 3D casino by the end of 2010.
In an interview with the online gambling publication eGaming Review, a high-ranking executive of the site confirmed that they will add to their already existing 3D online poker games with a full offering of 3D online casino games: blackjack, slots, roulette, the works. Their poker games already attract a million new players each year so expectations are high.
He says: “My hypothesis is that there’s an opportunity to leverage a richer visual experience on the table side, hence what we’re doing. At the moment it’s somewhere between 2D and 3D. There are limitations to the movie-esque table experience, which we’re hopeful we can take to another level.”
Clearly we’re early on in the development of quality 3D effects but with technology developing as it is, there’s no reason to believe they won’t continue to get better and better.
Happy online gambling-and don’t get hit in the face with a flying chip.
