It's not really new per se, it's just an old experience at the comforts of your home via the use of new tech. Honestly, any industry would have the chance to change if VR was implemented, after all, if they were able to merge the implementation of VR tech and make improvements with user experience via that, then user experience with VR would tremendously improve, probably defeating what real-world casinos could bring out (temporarily that is, till tech could do it in the real world as well).
When VR is implemented, that can change whole things in our life and we can see a new world with a different view that we do not yet imagine. The casino itself will adapt to the situation and who knows, we will see a casino that can apply the VR to the gamblers to feel a new experience using VR to playing gambling games. Maybe we can feel touching the material that we can only see that thing before. Yes, with the latest technology, that can help us get better in the future.
This is a controversial point in view of the fact that top monitors transmit a picture of best quality, and, for example, for me personally, a monitor is much more convenient than any VR equipment, simply because I can see well with only one eye, so VR for me means a deterioration in the picture and not an improvement.
In general, there are many different unexpected pros and cons in this area, and in order to strongly attract consumers, the Metaverse must offer something really worthwhile.
We can say that because we do not yet feel how the VR works and it sounds not familiar in our ear. But if we already know what VR is and often use VR, I am sure we will have different points about VR technology. I believe VR is just beginning and we will see many new things develop with the newest technology which can bring a new experience to the gambling industry. We will see it happen without denying it as the VR technology is still developed and needs more research from the developer.
