The velocity of the ball release and these five points are used, along with complex algorithms, to create an immersive and enjoyable gaming experience which is popular with online casino goers. This helps to mimic the behaviour of the roulette gameplay in a real-life casino, ensuring that players at a number of different online casinos get a more authentic experience.
Adding psychology which has been applied in mainstream gaming for years into the online casino compliments the addition of physics to create an immersive experience for the bettor. In its most simple form, psychology in gaming runs with the ‘risk and reward’ method, and the way in which your brain functions to obtain the reward element.
Let’s take World of Warcraft as an example. Every time you level up your character a familiar sound and animation triggers, signalling the reward aspect. Game design therefore considers the aspect of ‘repeat play’ essential, to allow the brain to know exactly how and when it can expect its ‘reward’, making it easy for the player to engage and trigger that reward.
This in turn makes the player feel pleasure, interacting directly with the brain’s release of dopamine. Online casinos tap into this by offering simple, yet visually engaging game experiences such as slots.
Without a doubt, the crossover from gaming psychology and physics to online casino games is very much worth exploring. In the future, we can expect much more of mainstream gaming’s new innovations to make the crossover to the casino-sphere, thanks to the all-important and rapidly increasing prowess of technology in the AAA gaming industry.
