For twenty years,
online casino sites have offered a variety of games. Although before that,
trying your luck in the old days was not easy. You can't log into your favorite
online casino. Instead, you go to your local ground and line up to play the
games you want.
As technology
advances, improvements are being made in land-based and online casinos to
ensure that the game is as good, safe and authentic as possible.
With that in mind,
let's dive right into the history of casinos, to see exactly where popular
online games came from and where they are going.
The country's
first casino
The first casino
was founded in 1638 in Italy. Originally a theater hosting games of chance
during the break, the Casino di Venezia started its first casino in Venice in
the 1700s.
In the following
centuries, physical casinos sprung up all over Europe, including the
magnificent Monte Carlo Casino in 1865.
At this time,
arcades in America have become popular. Many of our favorite casino games, such
as Blackjack and Poker, became available to play in the first casino in New
Orleans that was chartered in 1820.
Slot machines in
Las Vegas
As land-based games
continued to develop on the famous Las Vegas Strip from the 1940s onwards, the
next advancement in the casino industry was the first electromechanical slot
machine, in 1964.
This led to
technological advances that helped create the first video slot machine in 1976,
a Las Vegas company called Fortune Coin. This slot game is shown with a 19 inch
Sony TV and can be played at the Hilton Hotel in Las Vegas. Once the machine
received approval from the Nevada State Gaming Commission, it became popular on
the Strip.
The digital age
The introduction of
digital slot machines, along with computers and smartphones, allowed online
casino sites to open between 1994 and 1996.This gave birth to the age of
digital games, and many games on the screen.
Despite this, the
graphics are very simple and the internet speed does not match the graphics,
special features and speed playing today.
Progress
continues
Technology
continues to develop and game developers have done well to keep up.
Nowadays, there are
more types of online games than you can imagine, and live casino games. These
are supported directly by a special company, by a real seller, directly. But it
gets even better - some of these games are now available in virtual reality
(VR)!
This means that you
can view the game through the simulation, standing on it, as long as you have
the Internet and a VR headset. And this is obviously just the beginning of the
future of online casino games. Who knows, maybe one day you will be able to
visit Casino Di Venezia without leaving your home
