A year ago, the ICE conference in London showed what three of the developers at the show - Microgaming, Pragmatic Play and Netent - had done in terms of virtual reality.
Today is the start of the ICE edition, where we'll be able to go fishing for information and see what the market has in store. Netent has already released a piece of information about virtual reality and its flagship game Gonzo's Quest, reported on the website https://surveyfeedback.ca/.
VR (Virtual Reality) is still the stuff of fantasy and Netent has understood this perfectly. Although the market is still in the making, the developer has announced that its Gonzo's Quest slot is going to be adapted to virtual reality.
Netent believes it's crucial to get ahead of the curve and show players that virtual reality isn't just a fantasy, it's a new way to approach gaming.
"We firmly believe that virtual reality has a strong place in the future of online gaming. We remain focused on our mission to deliver the ultimate entertainment experience by taking the lead on developing our first VR slot machine. This is a crucial step for Netent and the gaming industry," said Per Eriksson, CEO of Netent.Already present at ICE, Alexandre Tomic, CEO of online casino Slots Million, confirmed to Calvinayre.com his intention to stay ahead of the industry regarding virtual reality.
Focusing on this vertical right now puts the company in a good position compared to its competitors. The present is not yet VR, but the future certainly is. It is therefore necessary to organize now to remain a spearhead of the market, and not just follow the trends.
Slots Million wants the lion's share of the virtual reality business.
