The online gaming world has evolved dramatically over the last few years and in recent months the tech wizards at one of the industry’s standout companies, Gaming1, have taken things to a new level. Originally reported by iGaming Business but now spreading across the online airwaves, the latest innovation to improve the experience of users is a fully responsive, single page application.
Dubbed the Connected Single Page Application, the new software allows operators to change their content without refreshing the page. In real terms, this means that a casino online such as Smart Live Casino can give players a fully dynamic interface which automatically scales and adapts depending on their screen size.
One size fits all
By giving operators the ability to change the content of their pages without having to refresh it, it means that data can be pushed through quicker. Why does this matter? One of the keys to success in the casino and sports betting world is speed. The more efficiently you can place a bet, the greater chance you have of making money. In fact, a gambler will measure their success by the amount they can win, on average, in an hour. If an operator can push more data through to them at a faster rate, then it means they can place more bets and, theoretically, make more money per hour.
While this is great news for online gamblers anteing up via their computers, it’s even more significant for mobile users. One of the biggest concerns for mobile casino players is the amount of data they’re consuming when not connected to wifi.
Thanks to Gaming1’s latest innovation, this should no longer be a concern as there will be far fewer page refreshes and, therefore, less data consumed. Moreover, the ability to access data in a timely manner has often been seen as a problem for some mobile users. However, if the new fully responsive single page technology is able to filter throughout the industry, then this could also become a problem of the past.
Moving to wearable tech
When you consider the announcement of this new technology and combine it with other interesting innovations in the tech world, the future of gaming looks extremely exciting. The release of the Apple Watch has sparked an interest in wearable tech and while this presents a myriad of options for traditional gaming developers, it also opens up possibilities for casino gaming companies. By fusing haptics (hardware that can alert users to a message via vibrations) and wearable tech, sports betting operators can keep their customers up to-date with the latest odds.
For example, if a punter was looking to place a football bet but only wanted to do so when the conditions were right, they could set certain conditions in their account and let the system monitor the market. Then, when the right conditions occur, the operator can buzz through a message to the user’s Smartwatch or Smartphone so that they can ante-up and, hopefully, make the most money possible.
A new era for gaming
As technology continues to improve and developers find new ways to speed up their interfaces, gamers of all persuasions should find their experiences becoming much more enjoyable and profitable. Indeed, through dynamic pages and wearable tech, the gaming world looks set to enter a new era in the coming weeks and months.
