It makes no sense to compare gambling in a real casino and gambling in the metaverse, because they give completely different experiences and emotions. Yes, gambling in the metaverse will find its fans, but most likely they will come from online casinos. I think that the real casinos will not suffer from the development of this direction of the gaming industry.
Metaverse is now building its community, they have their own share of community and market I don't think they will compete with each other, but casino gamblers can always adopt metaverse gaming and metaverse gamer can always go and play on Casinos, I don't see why they should be indifferent with each other.
